Sure. And you have the right to decide whether or not you go to work. You don't have the right to decide that your employer will continue to pay you. It is the same for all of us.[/quote]

So what are you going to do when teachers retire or quit rather than go to work, and they can't be replaced (at all, or in time for the school year)?  What are you going to do when teachers do go back to work, and then get sick, and then schools have to be closed?  What are you going to do when there are no subs, because subs are quite often older women (often retired teachers), and they don't want to work, either?  Treating it like a purely individual decision is missing the point.  It's a systemic issue that needs a systemic solution.  [/quote]
I'll do the same thing I am doing now. My kid hasn't been to school since February, I figured it out then. The solution isn't to waste more tax money paying teachers not to teach.  You can argue all you want, but online school is in no way an equivalent service and should be priced accordingly. [/quote]

In an environment where teachers and staff are worried for their health and lives and those of their loved ones and constantly having to enforce safety for themselves and their 20-30 students, how much of a better education do you think those kids will get vs the ones learning at home with teachers who are not under the same stressors? In person schools during a pandemic will serve mainly as babysitting and food for working parents. [/quote]
People are deluded about the kind of environment their child will be walking in to. [/quote]
