[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we’ve all established that we WANT our kids to go back to school in-person and agree that it’s how they learn BEST, but that doesn’t mean our kids can’t be taught remotely. Being the suckiest option doesn’t make it not an option. Sadly, during a pandemic we don’t get to just sit around and demand business as usual. [/quote]

But this thread isn't about what parents want. The thread is about teachers pushing back against what may be best for their students because the teachers do not want to put themselves at risk. If ER doctors said, well we don't have the PPE or the space to keep ourselves safe, so call us when you have a heart attack and we will walk you through CPR, we would be up in arms.

Teachers need to realize that they are essential and with that comes responsibility. DCPS proved last year they cannot pull distance learning off. Teachers need to step up and fight for what is best for their students and stop worrying about what is best for them.[/quote]

In this year of corona, the best hope I have for my DCPS student is that she makes it out alive.

I have the same hope for DCPS teachers.  And for all our children.

I also pray for doctors and nurses.  We “demand” that doctors and nurses help corona patients, in some cases risking their own lives.  For this reason, we owe it to them to keep the caseload down by every means possible.

The more we see this virus develop, we begin to fathom how quickly its spread can go from anecdotal to tragic, how deadly it can be, and how damaged it leaves some survivors.  We also fathom how little we know.

Survival is “what’s best”, it’s for that I am praying.
