[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a massive conflict of interest because teachers said it was too unsafe to open regular schools and therefore created this crazy need for private pods in the first place!

Imagine if the water company turned off your line but the next day showed up with a truck of bottled water to sell it to you for 10X the cost.

Teacher here, and one who did not oppose in person learning, done safely. We did make our opinions known through the teacher survey. Speaking out more publicly than that would have put many of us in very hot water with our staunchly pro-DL colleagues. Most of us lay low for that reason. What if we had been highly vocal, do you really think that would’ve changed the mayor’s mind? And if it did, what if a child or colleague would have died? The precautionary principle took over on many fronts.[/quote]

In fact, our union sent out an email just this morning that basically said - we know that some of you wanted to return to the classroom but please respect all the work that has been done on your behalf to keep you and your colleagues safe. [b]Since the union recommends we stay home, it must be the right thing to do![/b]  SMH

Thanks for the insight.  Did the union also recommend staying home and not doing private pods in order to keep safe?[/quote]
