[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Timely reporting from WaPo:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/school-coronavirus-spread/2020/12/29/bbfac9d8-3697-11eb-a997-1f4c53d2a747_story.html[/quote]

Wow.  This is really irresponsible journalism.

If people want teachers to return to school that badly, then they need to move them to the front of the vaccine line.

I am hating this country so much these days.   [/quote]

PP -I just need to vent my bitterness here, as I guess so many of us do. I can’t believe school districts are sending staff into the school buildings at the height of the pandemic when a mutant super contagious strain is  at  play and when a vaccine is “available,” just not available to them in the foreseeable future.  It kills me to see photos of covid denying non mask wearing politicians who attended holiday parties at the White House smiling and grinning as they are administered that precious vaccine.  It hurts to read news articles like that one in WaPo because they push an agenda based on “science” at the same time they admit to a dearth of scientific data.  It kills me that the military and banks and corporations gets billions and billions, but we can’t spend a fraction of that on getting good ventilation in school buildings and plenty of PPE to all professions that need it.

DL is not fun and I am trying my best.  I will try my best when they send me in to the building, too.  Maybe, I’ll just remain sitting for the national anthem for awhile.[/quote]

PP I’m right there with you. Can’t believe I was so careful the last 10 months for all of them to just give up in 2021 and send everyone back in hell or high water.

I will go in the building. I will stay on my side of the room. Kids on theirs. I will perform the requirements of my job. It will not be good. I will not “rock” concurrent or wear myself into the ground going above and beyond to reinvent something incredible so they can claim it was a great plan all along. I will be teaching the kids online the same as I have been and the ones in person will sit at their desk and join and work or not. I’m not going to their desk, they’re not coming to mine, I will try to eat and plan in my car if the Internet will stretch to save myself as much exposure as possible. It is what it is. Just remember, neither the kids nor us are being set up to succeed, just like we weren’t with DL. And when this plan starts to fall apart, it’s not on us. It is not.

I hope the school board and district admin are prepared to own the consequences of their choices. I think we will see a big difference in their posturing once 6-12 is back and they see how different the spread is at that level than it was with cohorted sped and k-2 students. [/quote]
