[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers on here saying that they don’t want to risk their lives so that “we” can work from home failed to grasp the reality that they don’t have work from home jobs. If they don’t want to go back to work then they will have to consider the same choices parents in this situation are faced with.[/quote]
And parents who post things like this fail to grasp that it was a pandemic and the states who shut down schools, not teachers who decided they’d rather work from home. It isn’t about wanting to work from home. We doubt that any coherent plan to open schools will be put in place and yes, people will die. I know that’s fine with you because you’ve calculated your own risk as minimal. Other people might not be so cavalier about the suffering and loss of life going on around them. [/quote]

Or we are in that situation with our own jobs. It's not fine, but not everyone posting just wants kids out of their hair to telework productively. Many parents also are being asked to make choices where safety and staying employed are mutually exclusive, for ourselves and our kids, before September. I'm sorry. I know it's scary.[/quote]
There have been four deaths of students’ family members in my classroom already and I only have ten students. It’s upsetting that some people want to pretend this is a harmless cold that people are being dramatic about. 
I’m sure you want to “telework productively” but no, I don’t particularly want to die so you can achieve that goal. [/quote]
No, I don't want to telework productively. I can't wait to go back to work, hopefully it looks like I will be able to do so in a few weeks according to my employer. I want my kids to go to school, because I want them to be educated. As much as I disagree with Trump on almost everything, I agree with his saying that the cure can't be worse than the disease itself, especially so because I think most of us will get infected anyway. By shutting down everything, we get tens of millions of jobless families on top of that. We just need to make sure the whole healthcare system is not collapsed, but other than that there should not be overreaction. [/quote]
Well said.[/quote]
