[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's ridiculous. Could the OP make more of a sweeping statement?! I teach at an elementary school in APS and none of the teachers are "terrified". Most are excited but cautious, which is the appropriate reaction. [/quote]

+1  I am an APS teacher and I wouldn't at all say I am terrified. It feels very big after a year of being home- most of you who have been home this whole time will feel this way when you first have to go back into an office. It DOES feel like a really big deal to go in for 6-8 hours and being in PPE the whole time. I have some worries about the new variants too. But I am not terrified. We have to get back and we have to start somewhere. It might not be perfect but my hope is that we can work together and get the kinks worked out. My teacher friends are excited to see the kids, but overwhelmed by the logistics of it all. I think that it is totally fair and reasonable. You are acting like teachers are kicking and screaming![/quote]A second grade teacher telling her class that she's afraid is the metaphorical version of kicking and screaming.

It's certainly not all APS teachers who are afraid, but there is a significant cohort.  [/quote]
