[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents just need to understand this in context. Teachers have spent many years underpaid and disrespected, and now fear that they will also be asked to double their workload and risk their health, in order to allow higher earning workers than themselves to get back to work. Try to imagine yourself in the same situation.

I am considering simply quitting if asked to do some of the things I’ve read in the report. Like many teachers, my husband is the main breadwinner. And we live with an elderly family member we don’t want to infect.[/quote]

I am a teacher and work with 100% of kids who are working class or poor. I think schools need to go back in session 100% of the day, every day in order to support working class families not higher earners. The high earners have no difficulty working from home. I have students whose parents are grocery store workers. If a cashier can go to work everyday then it is only fair teachers go back. The are underpaid and disrespected every day yet still show up to work. 
Selfishly it is really easy for me to stay home with my own kids but working class families are really gong to suffe long term as soon as the extra $600 in unemployment goes away, which I think may be July.[/quote]
Finally!! Thank you teacher. I love you![/quote]

So you would be okay with a plan that says that only the working class could send their kids back to school? Say, an income cap? It would really help to keep density in schools down. And everyone else does distance learning? I really doubt that. [/quote]
