[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to go back to some sense of normalcy like everyone else, but frankly, as a teacher I don’t trust FCPS to make a sound call that’s protective to us. In case you all forgot, Brabrandt was planning to try and keep schools open.

The idea that we have so much control is laudable at best. Not a single one of these scenarios was developed using teacher input. We often get information until after it’s distributed to families.

I don’t know what the answer is here because I’m not an infectious disease expert. I do know that if my husbands office with 50 people has deemed it to unsafe to be in for the foreseeable future, I can’t see how it’s safe for teachers to be in a small space with 30 plus kids and in a building with thousands.[/quote]

I get what you are saying on this and the fear/worry.  I have it too. But schools don't exist in a fragile vacuum of risk, its not just schools going back its the nation. The intel community goes to offices, much DOD goes to offices, State Dept, many people who cannot telework due to the nature of their work ARE going back to work this summer to sit in cubicles, share communial bathrooms, cafeterias, etc.  I mean, any large gov't building is basically designed like a large high school.  Should they not go back to work?  The reality is "service positions" are not just waiters and such, service is teaching, firefighting, intel services, DOD, etc too.  And they have all been working all along or are going back very soon.[/quote]
