[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This language about teachers wanting a "free pass" is really not fair if it's coming from people whose jobs entail working in private offices or cubicles with masks on. Teachers absolutely face higher risk than your average worker, and we need to acknowledge that if we are going to make this work.[/quote]

We could say the same thing about grocery store workers, Costco, Lowe's, Wal-mart, etc.  Yet there they are, working since day one.

I would totally take the statement if it came from an essential worker. But I will not see it as fair if someone who is taking on little risk themselves says of course students have to be back at school. I also do not see it as fair when people say there is risk inherent in working with children so we all should have known this before entering the profession. No, this is a different degree of risk that no one could have foreseen.[/quote]

Maybe we should just do in-person school for essential worker kids and distance learning for the rest. That way fewer kids at the school but the doctors etc. don’t need to worry about quitting or otherwise to homeschool their kids . Lots of room for compromise here.[/quote]
