[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. [b]Teachers absolutely face higher risk than your average worker, [/b]and we need to acknowledge that if we are going to make this work.[/quote]

Since you sound pretty co go cer about this, care to show me some studies? Because other research is showing that transmission is not as high among kids.  Schools are open all over Europe, you should be able to find sone data to support your hypothesis.[/quote]

They really aren't open all over Europe. Here's an article about a few places that tentatively reopened with many, many restrictions, with varying degrees of success: https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherrim/2020/06/12/what-international-school-reopenings-say-about-nycs-tentative-plan-for-the-fall/#3138f00050b4

There is so much hostility toward teachers on here. So clearly people will not be listening to teachers. Maybe they will listen to public health authorities.[/quote]

DP. At some point, collectively we will need to decide to accept a level of risk or not.  I just kind of think it’s nuts that we are opening indoor gyms and indoor dining over schools. It’s shows you where our priorities lie. Functioning schools (and daycares) are critical to our society and we will be at a stalemate until that happens.

This board is relatively privileged relative to the DMV in general.  There are a ton of kids for which for one reason or another, distance learning is not a viable option. [/quote]
