[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just announced by OSSE today. They are giving priority to DCPS and charter school employees and independent school teachers are not eligible in this round. Which is complete BULLSHIT because we have been the ones going in person and risking our health to educate kids while public school teachers stay home.

I am LIVID.

You are voluntarily choosing to go in person and have been doing it all along.  The priority is to get kids back to school who aren't in school.  [/quote]

Ridiculous!!  They are volunteering just as much as the doctors and nurses and grocery store workers are volunteering to go back to work.  They (or I should say we) go back to work because we feel it is our duty to do so.  I'm a doctor and have had my 2 shots of Pfizer vaccine.  Now I go into work less scared.  Of course these teachers are also frontline workers, similar to the doctors and nurses and grocery store workers and restaurant workers. They are the heroes, taking a risk so kids can be in school, and not hiding behind their union and computer screen in the comfort of there home.  They definitely deserve to be vaccinated before the DCPS teachers. [/quote]

Teachers can work from home.  Many are.  Privates choose to open and they should not be a priority over others when they can do their job at home unlike others.  They are not frontline workers.  They are educators who in person serve as child care.  In privates, child care for rich people.  They priority should be getting public school kids back to school since privates already did.  Privates have claimed it was safe all along so why is it different now?[/quote]
