[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. 19 cases in a preschool.  That IS significant. How can that be if they are staying 6 feet and wearing masks?  [/quote]

THEY ARENT, welcome to what teachers have been saying for months. Mitigation does not work once you have too many kids to meaningfully monitor it constantly. [/quote]

pretty sure our elementary teachers aren't changing diapers and putting our kids down for naps, etc... [/quote]

Nope, we will be in close proximity to help with a math problem, help with the proper way to hold a pencil or scissors, or view an unknown word from a book, just to name a few. [/quote]
DP.  But you’ve already told us you won’t be, that hybrid will be a terrible environment specifically because you won’t be allowed to do those things.  Which is it?[/quote]

Different teacher. I’m not elementary but I can say 100-% I’m not going to a kids desk and they’re not coming to mine in school. I’m not breaking that 6 feet because if I do and later get CoVID, they’ll claim I couldn’t have gotten it at school since the 6 foot protocol exists. [/quote]
So then you admit that a daycare outbreak isn’t relevant to what you would be doing in school?  [/quote]

If a daycare breakout is due to staff or kids not wearing masks or keeping distance then yea it still relates to what I do[/quote]
So teachers don’t want to go back because they don’t trust each other to wear masks?  Perhaps one of the terms of reopening should be that failure to wear a mask at all appropriate times is a fireable offense.  More parents might get on board with AEA’s position if they added that to their platform.[/quote]

Look you need to stop looking at a Facebook parent group as if they have any power, they can’t make up any conditions of employment but to answer your question, no I do not trust all my fellow staff to be safe and wear masks faithfully. Plenty of teachers are living life as usual, traveling, lax with masks. They’re the ones least worried about going back but yeah we all have to work with them even when we are really careful. [/quote]

So let’s fire the staff members who aren’t properly following the guidelines.  Tree hat seems like something we all should be able to agree on.[/quote]
