Linsey Marr, a civil and environmental engineering professor at Virginia Tech who studies the transmission of viruses in the air, said the five-minute window in which the student, identified in the study as “A,” was infected was notable because the droplet was large enough to carry a viral load, but small enough to travel 20 feet through the air.

“‘A’ had to get a large dose in just five minutes, provided by larger aerosols probably about 50 microns,” she said. “Large aerosols or small droplets overlapping in that gray area can transmit disease further than one or two meters [3.3 to 6.6 feet] if you have strong airflow.”

I haven't seen this petition, but I recall that Dr. B. said that the schools has to work out all the details. If so, then shouldn't we give the school a chance to figure it out first? Did I hear that wrong?

What if this is not a teacher vs. Dr. B thing, but rather a community of educators trying to do what’s best for the students in an unprecedented situation. Are there teachers that didn’t want to come back? Sure! Did you expect 100% agreement? No. The fact remains we are opening and what should be a time to celebrate has become once again another chance for this out of touch community to unload on teachers. Just stop! If you have a teacher who has a child and is still at school teaching your child, you may want to thank them because it means they decided against using ADA. Also, it wasn’t that hard to get accommodations. That’s why so many other schools are having a hard time staffing teachers.

This is all true. Those teachers who were eligible decided to come back because they knew it was in the best interest of their students and they are incredibly committed educators. I will also note that many of them are long time teachers at the school. There are many people that chose not to exercise their accommodations and it has everything to do with them and not any tone that was set.

Lunch is actually 45 min. That’s how teachers get their contractual required lunch minutes. A floater will roam between unmasked classrooms while the kids eat for 45 min.

Please stop. Please.

They are just wrong! The time is wrong it’s 30 mins. And the floater as they called them (aka relief teacher aka special education teachers and service providers) aren’t roaming around. They can only see two classes/cohorts a day and they only do recess. Your child’s teacher is sitting with the kids for lunch. The previous poster has 0 clue what’s happening in the school.

Actually, it’s 30 mins. Teachers are NOT getting their contractual lunch time. Yes, I am a teacher.
