[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unions fight for their employees. That's their function. The school districts couldn't get themselves together enough to ensure safe working conditions so that's why schools stayed closed. You saw the district's dysfunction up close for the first time. Teachers have seen that long ago. It took that many months for the districts to come up with plans for air filtration, masking, testing, etc. It was probably the first time school districts actually had to get together and do real work so yeah, it took a while for them to reopen schools. They love that people blame the unions for closing schools (they didn't) and keeping them closed (they didn't). When teachers were told to go back, we all went back. We can't strike in MD and everyone should know that.

My district had all special ed self-contained classes and kindergarten classes reopen in November 2020. I went back to school, set up a classroom and only 5 kindergarten students wanted to return in person. This is 5 students out of appr. 70. So, we continued virtually until March when only 7-8 came back in person. They came back into school and continued to learn online. [/quote]

The unions kept making ever-more ridiculous demands that school districts could not possibly meet. It's an easy talking point to just say "schools could not get their act together" because it hides the unions' true role in all of this.[/quote]
