[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People on here think teachers are whining to “get a pass” while everyone else has to go back to work? Well, consider your environment. When you go back to work, will you be in all-day meetings packed with people shoulder to shoulder without masks? No, you won’t. We will. No other workplace as crowded as schools would be allowed to reopen.[/quote]

The people commenting don’t teach. As a result, they have no idea how close we have to be to students in order to do our jobs. For example, a lot of the time I use a 3 inch voice when working individually with a student who is shy or anxious. At 3 inches, I’m whispering so I can help them discreetly without other students hearing our conversation. In contrast, a 3 foot voice is actually quite loud. That means that the other students can clearly hear what I say. If a student with special needs has a live reader read aloud accommodation during a test, I can’t provide that accommodation from three feet away without the other students hearing. It might distract them, especially students with ADD. And our RTSE says that if you are reading aloud to the whole class, it doesn’t count because everyone got the accommodation.[/quote]
