To some it seems some form of ‘in person’ learning is the solution. This is a pandemic that is actually affecting us, tired of people referencing other pandemics that DID NOT affect the US like this.

As for the solution, it is to facilitate your child’s learning. Not teach but facilitate, there is a difference. I’m so sorry you will have to do extra work, however we all are making sacrifices.  Myself as a mom and teacher included.

This year WILL not be what you’re used to. If you feel teachers are being unreasonable while other jobs have to put themselves at risk you are barking up the wrong tree. 
We are not talking about them right now, are we? And if we were I’d have a similar answer, online grocery delivery. Small businesses, order online pickup at the door.

There’s a solution for every job except most of those who work in a hospital who btw ALWAYS have some sort of risks.

So just stop with the comparisons. We are talking about TEACHERS. We are not martyrs. The district is going to come up with a better distance learning model, nothing will ever be as good as in person but this is where we are right now. [/quote]

And all of this is after a steady decline over the past twenty years of discipline in schools.  Parents want their kids to get exceptions to rules all the time meant to keep kids and teachers safe.  And schools have no discipline so kids can do whatever they want.  And now they want teachers to believe there will be enforcement of health and safety standards.  Little Johnny is not going to wear a mask after being allowed to throw chairs and curse out adults all year with no consequences.  And Little Suzy’s mom isn’t going to keep her home now after repeatedly sending her sick to school last year without having to pick her up or keep her home.[/quote]

I feel like the only possible way to mitigate that problem is to make parents who knowingly send kids to school sick during this time subject to a citation in the thousands of dollars for endangering the public or disrupting school operations. Or if the nurse calls and the kid is not off school premises within an hour. It has to be a penalty with teeth to make stupid, selfish parents take it seriously. You want schools open because you need a dumping ground for your kid? Fine. This is the cost. [/quote]
