For any proponents of 100% DL/ families of high risk or immunocompromised persons etc. This thread is not for you.

One thing that would make a huge difference to me would be if parents who are seeking more time in school didn’t discount members of our community in this way.  As a teacher, what I want is for our whole community to be together.  Those people you are so eager to dismiss are my students, my colleagues, my family members, my loved ones.  One of the reasons I support 100% DL is because I hope that we can get to the point where we are all together, and our community is complete.

Any parent who would post what you wrote isn’t coming from the same place as me, ant that makes me worried that you wouldn’t make the choices I need to trust you to make, such as keeping your family out of risky situations and keeping them home with any symptoms.

Hi! Op here- sorry if that "not for you" came off the wrong way.  I only posted to help stop so many negative comments from posters who were not interested in returning to school in the next few months. The negative comments are frustrating!

I think when higher risk students do choose return to school that special accommodations should be made for them.  For example- why cant all teachers or students with documentation medical conditions have a plexiglass cubicle like in stores?  Just a random thought.

And for the record I work with covid+ patients sometimes and have been since march.  That in itself is a risky situation.  You will never know what ANY family is truly doing or who denied the vaccine and who didnt.  If you "need me" to make the "choices" that "you trust me to make" then respectfully possibly in person school now (or anytime in the near future? ) is not for you.  There are just some things that are out of your control and that includes anyone's decision for their family.[/quote]

You can't walk this back OP.

Let's start with this: 
Black Americans are 4x more likely to die of COVID than whites
Latinx Americans 3-4x more likely to die of COVID than whits
20% of Americans live in multigenerational homes 
1 in 3 Americans has hypertension
37% of men and 35% of women in the U.S. are obese
Over 15% of adults have lung disease
Nearly 10% of kids have asthma (1 in 13)

Would you like me to continue listing all the various people your initial post happily discriminates against? Or should we just kick every last one of these people out of school and society? So inconvenient, they are.

Oh goodness...
Im AA
Ive sadly been working in rooms woth covid+ patients on ventilators who most don't survive.
I have to counsel on obesity every day in my job.
I wont keep listing. 
I get it.
Im not walking anything back. 
Feel free to continue listing..this is an open space.

Just hoping to continue with some great ideas that will help us down the line. My goal is to collect and submit these to BOE. It seems like they do read their emails![/quote]
