[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]

Many teachers on this thread have said they want to go back but want to do it safely. You seem like you are purposely misunderstanding. Education is an essential service, but you can get an education over distance learning. It might not be the best and it might not be what you want, but it is a form of education.
Ans, by the way, I hope you are joking when you say teachers should stop worrying about what is best for them because that is a ridiculous statement. Why don't you stop worrying about what is best for you and keep your kids home? You would never do that because you want what is best and most convenient for you. See how that works? I'm a teacher and I will never put your children and your desires ahead of what is best for my own children and myself. [/quote]
