[quote=Anonymous]As someone who has WFH for years by choice, I get why many people prefer it and are loathe to go back to their workplaces. My DH, who is also a government worker, feels the same way. I think it’s especially acute for people in highly regimented workplaces like schools, where your hours are strict with little leeway for things like running late, taking breaks, mental health days, etc. And coming back during Covid must feel extra challenging, even setting aside fears about safety, because the environment will be even more regimented and scrutinized under Covid safety guidelines.

So I get it and I don’t want anyone to be forced to go to a job they hate or where they don’t feel safe or supported.

I also know, as a parent of an ECE kid, that there is no feasible way to teach very young kids remotely. A discrete skill or activity, like a dance class or some focused literacy skills? Sure, kids can learn that via video and my kid does. But it’s not possible to be a remote Kindergarten teacher. That’s just not a job that exists. Just like you can’t be a remote massage therapist, or a remote ICU nurse. I don’t know about older grades— my kids are you g and I’m not an education expert. I just know that remote Kindergarten isn’t a real thing.[/quote]
