[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher and administration told us today that we may not be back in the buildings in September, October, or November and to be prepared. We all feel really anxious and overwhelmed. Remote learning is boring and exhausting and joyless. No one wants this to continue, but we also won’t go back without protocols in place to keep everyone safe. I see a lot of parents on here who seem angry about the fact that schools will not just go back “as normal”. If you want schools to open up you need to support these measures. If parents are largely unwilling to comply with safety precautions it just won’t work. [/quote]

The kids aren't going to give you covid. They have pretty much debunked kids spreading it like they thought they would. So who exactly are you trying to have protection from? The other adults at school? If anything it's much easier for the adults to stay away from each other and follow stricter precautions. Sounds like you are fine not going back until things are up to your standards?[/quote]
You are wrong. There are lots of different people extrapolating that because children are more likely to be asymptomatic that they are less likely to spread the virus to others. Obviously they do and can still spread it. You are delusional if you think they can contract the virus but it’s impossible for them to spread it. There are studies that show that they shed as much virus at adults.

No one cares about my personal standards. Schools have already announced they are following CDC guidelines and that we will not be going back without precautions. I don’t know what fantasy world parents are living in that they think everything is just going to snap back to pre-pandemic reality between June and September. If you’re still wearing a mask to pass through the grocery store then everyone in the school building should be too. [/quote]

Yes it's also been proven that healthy people wearing masks for long periods of time is also causing damage. Nobody should be breathing in their own air like that for extended periods.
Not to mention its frekan hard to breathe in them.

Parents want their kids back to school because that's where they need to be educated. Since you referred to "parents" I'm going to assume you are not one. Which is very clear.

Keep your kids home if you don’t want them wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, or having a school experience that is different than it was in the past. You have a choice. It’s a pandemic and everyone needs to adjust. We can’t just open up without taking measures to mitigate the (inevitable) spread. [/quote]

The point is the "inevitable" spread is drastically declining. And school is 3 months away. The best way to have Measures to keep schools safe going forward is to make sure there is enough soap everywhere in every school and cleaning properly.  Other than that everything else is moot.[/quote]
