[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, classroom monitors will monitor a room full of students who have a virtual teacher [/quote]

Why on earth would a teacher need to teach virtually?  There is a vaccine out there.

Most teachers haven't been able to get their first dose yet.  You aren't protected until a few weeks after your second dose.  Hopefully by the time we get there, which would be early April, we'll know how well the vaccine prevents transmission.  [/quote]

Do the teachers with ADA accommodations plan to come back after they have the full vaccination? [/quote]

I think between now and the time we go back there's lots more that we'll learn about whether vaccinated people spread the virus, and whether the vaccination continues to work on new variants.

I also think that school systems need to figure out what it's like in the classroom, and whether kids will continue to come in person when they see what it's like, and how concurrent works.

Then it will be time to make this decision.

I'm in a situation like many teachers with ADA accommodations.  I got my accommodation for me, because it's the only kind you can get and I do qualify. However, I have family members who are at much higher risk, who can't be vaccinated yet due to age.  Until I know that I won't spread the virus to my child if I'm vaccinated, and I have access to childcare providers who I know won't spread, I won't be teaching in person.  If I need to quit my job, I will.  I was told when my ADA accommodation was granted, that I could stay out for the year.  That's the agreement under which I returned, so if the school system tries to change that agreement, then I'll just quit.[/quote]
