[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me think of what’s been floating around on social media today- a side by side comparison of two Washington Post articles. 
Article 1: “Ryan Zimmerman, citing family’s health, is still deciding whether he will play baseball this season”
Article 2: “Teachers in Fairfax revolt against fall plans, refusing to teach in-person”

So teachers are “revolting” but he’s just a family man trying time do what is best for his family?!?! That’s the spin???

The treatment of teachers in this country is disgusting. [/quote]

While I'm not necessarily justifying the headline wording, these are two totally different scenarios.

Scenario 1:  One individual recognizes that the decision he makes FOR HIMSELF is right FOR HIMSELF and his family.  And accepts the consequences of those actions FOR HIMSELF.
Scenario 2:  An entire group of people insist that what might be right for their individual family needs to apply to everyone.

Here would be the headlines of the reverse scenario:
Mrs Smith, citing family's health, is still deciding if she will teach this year.
MLB players revolt against owners, refusing to play this season.[/quote]

You just proved the previous posters point. There are not 2 scenarios, they both are worried about health and safety.
So yes, the treatment of teachers is disgusting and that article is ridiculous, 'revolt,' ok...[/quote]

Have you looked at the post article today about the apparent lack of transmission by young kids in schools in Europe? Makes it looks like teachers who are interacting mostly with kids plus a few adults are in a less risky situation than many of the rest of us who go to workplaces where we’re around more adults.
