I'm sure if someone did a poll of all the retail workers, warehouse workers, waitresses and whatever other job you'd find a percentage of them refusing to go back to work.

I don't think teachers are any different in that regard.  Some teachers are willing to go back to work.  Others aren't.  The big difference is that teachers have unions to protect them.  People without unions just have to quit or find something else to do.

I put medical workers in a separate category.  [b]Risk of deadly infection has always been part and parcel of their line of work, and it's natural for them to accept it.[/b]  It's like people signing up to be cops.  They accept that there are potentially deadly health risks to being a cop.

Most people who signed up to be teachers never expected to be on the front lines of a pandemic.  I'm not surprised that many of them are balking.   [/quote]

What? No. Dealing with sick people is part of their work. Risking deadly infection is not. The medical workers who are going to work, are doing so because it's their job and somebody needs to do it. Just like teaching is teachers' job and somebody needs to do it.

If a teacher told me, in real life, that it's ok for all of those essential grocery store workers etc. to have hazardous workplaces, but it's not ok for the teacher because the teacher didn't go to school all those years for that, I'd have to turn and walk away, because anything I said or did if I remained would not be polite.[/quote]
