[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. [b]Many parents also are being asked to make choices where safety and staying employed are mutually exclusive, for ourselves and our kids, before September[/b]. I'm sorry. I know it's scary.[/quote]

And you are okay with that?[/quote]

Uh, no. I posted the above. I said it's not fine, it's scary, and I'm sorry. So I'm not okay with it. But it's not an issue of asking teachers to take risks that parents don't have to. I think some posters are being unfair to teachers (as usual) but it's not helpful to assume the worst motivations of parents either. [/quote]
