[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is one of the biggest issues in the battle to get kids to come back to school: teachers simply don't trust families to take the appropriate safety steps in their personal lives.

How do families and teachers re-build mutual trust?

And it seems NO ONE trusts the school administrators.

I feel like this issue is a proxy for a degradation of trust across American society. It's just now playing out in schools, grocery stores, etc. [/quote]

I don’t. It is nothing personal against our families. I feel the same way about my kids’ two high schools. It’s one reason I’m relieved they are staying in DL.
I agree that no one trusts admin. I’m not sure whether teachers distrust parents right now more than parents distrust teachers but I will say that while parents may not trust teachers to promote their children’s education, teachers don’t trust parents to protect their health. And, while it isn’t the job of parents to worry about whether the teacher gets lung damage or brings the virus home to a chronically ill household member, the disregard feels really blatant and cold. The result is teachers planning their exit. [/quote]
