[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] But WHY did they not want to return and do the job they signed up for? This has been discussed over and over and over, but there are so many professions that being in-person is required and teaching is one of them. Why was this such a battle for many (not all) teachers to return in-person when they were fully vaccinated, able to stay 6+ feet apart from students in a half-full classroom, etc etc. This is the part that is so bothersome. These kids were facing an incredibly difficult time and it is really sad that teachers were turning their backs to them when they really needed them. Shameful.[/quote]

Mostly teachers did not believe their schools had good enough mitigation in place. WMS is a very old building and at the MS level parents had to really push for outdoor lunch to even be offered. What do yo know about the individual teachers’ family situations? Kids were not eligible for vaccines at the time of return last year at the MS and early HS levels either. Again, teachers were not being lazy and they weren’t being demanding. They were willing to take an UNPAID leave of absence or quit. It was APS who asked them to keep teaching remotely vs have no teacher. You all want to say “if you don’t like it, leave”. The teachers who didn’t want to return in person were willing to do just that. But then your precious child would have no teacher. [/quote]

Because N Arl is different from every other school system/city/county out there - so much more risk than anyplace else, ever! [/quote]
