[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: do you (especially teachers) think it is immoral for parents to send kids to hybrid school now? Will you resent the kids for it?

We chose hybrid back in December expecting our district to be much more conservative. They threw out metrics and set a return date. I find the research on school transmission reassuring from a risk perspective, but i am a dues paying member and officer in my union and wonder if sending my kid in is comparable to crossing a picket line or shopping somewhere with unfair labor practices. Thoughts?[/quote]

This is a serious question? Really? A teacher would have a very low level of professionalism to hold a child accountable for the decision of the parents. [/quote]

Teachers definitely judge your decision - I have a real life example.

AA Co recently asked parents to fill out a "survey" to indicate if you want a hybrid or virtual option for your child. My friend mentioned to her child's teacher she couldn't decide what to do, and the teacher said "You need to make the right choice for your family BUT you really need to consider all of the facts"

This teacher implored her to join the "Parental Alliance for Child Safety" Facebook group - which is an anti-reopening group for AA Co that wants to keep schools closed FOREVER.

Trust me, EVERY teacher in AA Co is judging you if you want to send your kids back because they are all members of this "PASS" group and want to stay home forever. How dare you demand they return in person! And now, folks in this group are also calling people racist if they want to return. Unbelievable! [/quote]

At a recent private "Townhall"" in Howard County with a population that definitely skews toward reopening, at least one parent complained that some high school teachers spent class time telling students that if they choose to return, school is going to be very restrictive and unpleasant The student felt that the teachers were trying to discourage families from choosing in person.  That seems unprofessional to me, regardless of where you land on reopening.[/quote]
