[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s time to understand that Covid is here to stay.  Mitigate the worst effects - get the vaccine.

Move on and stop the drama.  People - including those in a school environment - will get Covid.   Much like people get the flu.

It’s time to live and focus on improving public schools for all.  They are a disgrace.[/quote]
Sure. I’ll accept that I’ll get COVID teaching once everyone else just accepts it too. Every office worker I know is working from home through the summer. Send them back and open everything up at full capacity. We’re all in this together, right? Surely schools should not be a more dangerous place than anywhere else. [/quote]

You aren’t an office worker. Nurses and doctors have been working in person through most of the pandemic. Same with grocery store workers, people who work in manufacturing plants and distribution centers, etc. I don’t understand the obsession with what office dwellers are doing. It’s a different job!

It’s not like the people we like best get to stay home and the people we don’t like have to go to work. That’s true in some workplaces but not across the board. Generally, people whose work requires in person are in person, and people whose work is mostly staring at a computer screen stay home. It’s a practical consideration, not a prize. And the idea that teachers won’t go back until even office workers go back is crazy, not least because some office workers will never go back. That’s because their employers realized they just don’t need to be in person. I am sorry, but that is not the conclusion we’ve drawn about schools.

Sorry that your profession is really important and we’ve collectively found that it really needs to be done in person?[/quote]
