[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once teachers have been vaccinated, it is time to get their reluctant butts back in the classroom.  If they don't feel they can do so because they are "scared," or it's too hard, time to find a new profession.

I am a prof who went back in the classroom in August in an old building, teaching adults, who are far more contagious, with no plexiglass screens, no hysterical hypercleaning, no constant temp check, no testing.  Not one student or prof or staff got sick.  So no sympathy from me on recalcitrant teachers.[/quote]
Do you have to change their diapers? Do you get spit on and hit and scratched? Do your adults understand distancing and mask wearing? I am back in school with my special Ed preschoolers. I am not complaining, I am happy to be back and I know they learn better in person. But please don’t try to tell me that your  job teaching adults is more difficult. [/quote]

You seem mad. You also don't seem to understand how the PP is indeed at higher risk of COVID than yourself. I'm sorry you get scratched by toddlers, but you literally signed up for that, and "being scratched by toddlers" is not a known method of COVID transmission.[/quote]
Nope, not mad at all. If you read my post you would see that I am happy to be back. I just think it is odd that the PP was insinuating that working with adults is harder. [/quote]
Original PP here. Please show me where I said I didn’t expect this. You can’t because I didn’t. You are now making a fool of yourself. 
I also teach special education and it’s insulting to state that any educator, or any person for that matter, shows up to work to be assaulted. You obviously have no idea what our jobs entail. Stay in your lane. [/quote]

Veterinarians expect that every so often they'll be clawed by a patient. Home health aids expect that they'll have to deal with aggression and bodily fluids. Someone who works in daycare for infants knows there will be a lot of poop. Do you think they show up to work in order to be assaulted? No. But it's part of the job. If you went into special ed pre-k and didn't expect to have to deal with aggression and bodily fluids sometimes, you are a fool.[/quote][/quote]
