[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't too surprising.  NY was one of the last states to close in the spring, despite having large numbers of Covid cases.  NY actually closed a lot later than many red states, including Alabama. [/quote]
Yes, and it was a horror show. Weird that people on here seem to think that the teachers are happy about this decision. No one thinks that the current proposals will benefit children or the community. I will be shocked if there isn't a strike or other significant job action.[/quote]

DP. In fairness, the teachers I know are in upstate NY, where there was never a big rate of infection. They seem to be fine with going back.  All of upstate (I think) is in phase 4 at this point, most everything is open and people are out and about and generally good about wearing masks.  Of all of my relatives there (~30) I know of one aunt/uncle who are still quarantining, but they were never terribly social to begin with and my uncle has a chronic heart condition.  Overall the attitude seems to be, we got it to this rate so we could reopen safely, not continued to shelter in place.[/quote]
