[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: do you (especially teachers) think it is immoral for parents to send kids to hybrid school now? Will you resent the kids for it?

We chose hybrid back in December expecting our district to be much more conservative. They threw out metrics and set a return date. I find the research on school transmission reassuring from a risk perspective, but i am a dues paying member and officer in my union and wonder if sending my kid in is comparable to crossing a picket line or shopping somewhere with unfair labor practices. Thoughts?[/quote]

This is a serious question? Really? A teacher would have a very low level of professionalism to hold a child accountable for the decision of the parents. [/quote]

Teachers definitely judge your decision - I have a real life example.

AA Co recently asked parents to fill out a "survey" to indicate if you want a hybrid or virtual option for your child. My friend mentioned to her child's teacher she couldn't decide what to do, and the teacher said "You need to make the right choice for your family BUT you really need to consider all of the facts"

This teacher implored her to join the "Parental Alliance for Child Safety" Facebook group - which is an anti-reopening group for AA Co that wants to keep schools closed FOREVER.

Trust me, EVERY teacher in AA Co is judging you if you want to send your kids back because they are all members of this "PASS" group and want to stay home forever. How dare you demand they return in person! And now, folks in this group are also calling people racist if they want to return. Unbelievable! [/quote]

It is unbelievable that you know the opinion of every teacher in an entire school district or that you could know with certainty that every single teacher in the County joined a FB group.[/quote]

Not sure if every teacher in the county joined it but the woman who is one of the founders appears to be ignorant person that assumes she knows what is best for ALL parents.

I am ready for this pandemic to be over so these groups don’t have a cause anymore and we can get back to talking about the “mean moms” behind their backs without risking them closing down schools with their craziness. [/quote]

It isn't what is best for the parents, its about what is safest for the students and staff.[/quote]

Just stop. Good grief!! 65% of the country’s schools are back in person. Local private schools and community centers/daycares have been only since summer. There is no significant health risk to staff or students which is above the normal community level risk metric when schools are opened.

Schools are opening. Calm down. Stay virtual if you don’t want your child on campus. Get a new career if you don’t want to teach in a classroom.

Privates and day cares are a much smaller population.   I am not a teacher.  Funny how people like you scream it’s unsafe to return to the office but have no issue forcing others to be child care for you.  A very small percentage is open and most hybrid.  Many have shut down multiple times even with hybrid.  [/quote]

Catholic schools have been open all year. No huge endowments. Large class sizes. Minimal disruptions.

I can’t wait for public schools to open just to end these posts. I have children in catholic schools and it’s been a normal year with some virtual days thrown in. I wouldn’t change it to all virtual to avoid the one 3 day stint of quarantine because a teacher caught covid from her husband.

Personally, I think it’s the unknown scaring people right now. Once schools open safely like they did in Georgia for my niece, these concerns aren’t there anymore.  Niece is in a public school in what was a covid hotspot with minimal school disruption this year.

I wouldn’t choose public schools after this for my older kids. This was not an impossible challenge to reopen safely. It’s been changing on the whim of social media campaigns. There is no reason why a social media group should have so much influence over whether a school can follow CDC guidelines and reopen.
