[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s yesterday’s number.  Today’s is likely to be higher.

That said, is there evidence of omicron transmission in schools?[/quote]

Schools aren't magical places. Omicron spreads as well there as anywhere maybe more so since many kids don't wear their masks properly and the schools themselves are often overcrowded.[/quote]

Oh well. Kids will get COVID. The idea of hiding from it forever through virtual school is untenable and irrational.[/quote]

Staff don’t have the same choice to stay home. There aren’t subs. Your “oh well” is so selfish. Teachers are quitting because people like you think you’re entitled to them. Next year will be even more of a disaster than this year. Congratulations.[/quote]

You are right that teachers are quitting b/c of parental attitudes. So many parents in DMV care about “appearances” rather than academic progress and personal development. Teachers are routinely disrespected by parents. Mommy and daddy pass along a sense of entitlement to their kids and blame lack of achievement on the schools and the teachers. The unfortunate thing is that when the time comes for “junior” to launch, he is woefully underprepared for the real world.

I spent 15 years in a classroom and learned early on to show up for the kids interested in learning. I made time for parents who were respectful and went out of my way to help their children. I could not have cared less about the students or parents who didn’t value teachers or education. They missed out because of their attitude.[/quote]
