[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why is a cashier at walmart considered essential and a teacher isn't? Teachers need to return to school. They can wear protective shields and maintain distance while teaching in a lecture format. They can wash their hands after each class and use sanitizer throughout the day. The whole world is returning to work and teachers need to do the same. those who have health issues can be assigned to DL.[/quote]

Hmm, where I am — the DMV area — a majority of people are not returning to work as normal.   On Monday the head of my Agency said that we would continue maximum telework for the “foreseeable future.”

Cashiers at Walmart and supermarkets continued to work because they had no other choice.  They could work or lose their jobs.   The difference here is that even if a majority of cashiers quit, Walmart could still operate, which have Walmart the leverage they needed to require cashiers to keep working in less than optimal conditions.

You can’t say the same of teachers.  If they enough teacher resign rather than return to work under current conditions, the school can not open.  It is more difficult to replace a large number of teachers between now and September.

I think if Fairfax has provided more information about how the unschool teaching would work, the response would have been different.  For instance,  in an elementary school, if the class size was reduced from 26 students to 13, the risk to the people in that classroom is reduced.  I don’t see how you can have 26 students and a teacher in a classroom where they are 6 feet apart from each other.  The rooms are simply not large enough.
