[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There sure are a lot of people on here who think they know better than county leaders, doctors, public health experts, school administrators, and teachers. I don’t know what the right answer is, but neither do you.[/quote]

I know that kids need to go to school.[/quote]
[b]And I know that a child's right to an education does not supersede the rights of teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, and instructional aides to a safe working environment. [/b]We want school back in session too. But meaningful protocols to mitigate the spread of the virus need to be in place. Unfortunately, if a school is overcrowded they will have to reduce density by establishing different cohorts of students who physically attend school on different days. There is no other way around it-we can't build and staff new schools to accommodate all the students. [/quote]

Why not?[/quote]

I’m hoping that you bolder the wrong area of that post and really don’t mean that you think children have more right to be in a building than adults have a right to live.

Yeah, sorry. Although your kids are the center of YOUR universe they are no more important than anyone else. That is a fact, not an opinion. I’m not willing to die or potentially kill my own family for your child. I’m a teacher, not a soldier. [/quote]

This isn't only about PP's child. It's about ALL kids in this country. And as a group, their education is more important than protecting the minority of vulnerable people among the school staff.[/quote]

She has a point. When has DCUM ever cared about minorities in the school system. Whether it’s a racial minority, a religious one, or learners with unique needs, the message from DCUM is I need to get mine and screw you.[/quote]

You surely understand the different meanings of the word "minority", so don't twist my argument to fit your prejudice.[/quote]

The people you don’t care about a minority based on their health conditions and don’t care about them.[/quote]

I believe we need to support them with health care, and with other services if they cannot work in schools anymore. I do not believe they should have the power to keep millions of kids from going to school so that they can keep working there.[/quote]
You guys are literally nuts. Teachers are advocating for schools to OPEN with protocols in place to keep ourselves, our coworkers, and your own children safe. You are advocating for schools to open without any changes whatsoever so that you don’t have to alter your own behavior at all, even with over a hundred thousand deaths. The countries that have opened schools have done so with dramatically reduced numbers, masks, testing, and social distancing. Parents here feel so entitled that they don’t think they should have to navigate any of those realities. If schools don’t open, it’s on those parents, not teachers. It’s incredibly selfish to expect everyone to just run back to school to blow your child’s nose, tie their shoes, help them in the bathroom, help them adjust their scissor/pencil grip, etc. Parents on here keep saying they don’t care if teachers have their own children-okay, cool. Why should I be so concerned about yours that I’m willing to die for them? [/quote]
