[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Are teachers really more COVID-cautious than non-teachers? I have not seen this to be the case. [/b]

I am in the Midwest, in a state where most schools are at least open for 2 days per week of in-person learning. In my kids' private school, virtually everyone complies with COVID precautions in public places, such as schools and grocery stores. But most people are not doing strict social distancing in their private life. The teachers are no different. A minority are strictly SD-ing, a majority are not.[/quote]

+1.  This post really rubs me the wrong way.  It furthers the narrative of teachers v. parents/students where teachers are the gold standard of covid safety.  Not true all.  PP is correct that teachers are just like everyone else (some super strict, some middle of the road, some very lax).  Both of our ES teachers traveled to visit family forTG and Christmas.  We stayed home and saw no one.  Another teacher in our school has kids in travel sports (hotels, etc).  Kids are just as likely to get covid from their teacher as their teacher is from the kids.  And frankly the biggest risk to teachers is letting down their guard with fellow teachers.  So I guess you could also ask teachers if they trust their colleagues to take covid seriously?[/quote]
