Literally there is nothing in that article to suggest that she contracted covid at school. She taught at ballou hs. I'm honestly not even sure if Ballou HS Is reopened, but if it is it just reopened last Wed. She did not teach in person on Wed, contract covid and die 9 days later. Try again.
How did you miss the comments from her family? Huh? I guess because they're black you think their voices don't mean anything???
your insane. Comments from her family say things like she was always there for them, she was a great teacher etc. This has nothing to do with the race of her family.
Your response is very telling. I'm saying that you are the picture of white entitlement because of your response and you're calling me insane? Right. BTW it is 9:30 so time for you to log off of DCUM and get some sleep. You have school tomorrow. Hopefully during ELA your teacher will discuss the similarities of you, your, you are and you're. I think you need the lesson! Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.
Better posting with typos than using a teacher's death to attack parents of schoolchildren.
The Ballou teacher's death is sad. Let her rest in peace.
Those parents are why she is dead. If they hadn't been so insistent on the RTS she likely would still be alive. They are as culpable as if they had given her the virus themselves. I hope her family pays for contact tracing and goes after whomever it was that infected her.
She was an adult cosmetology teacher. I'm not sure if the adult education program is part of DCPS, which has been closed until recently, or separate.

That’s why teachers are getting vaccinated (the title of this thread).
None of the vaccines are 100% effective and the 94-95% efficacy has only been shown with small numbers of self-selected people and not the general population. Even Fauci and the CDC admit that the verdict is still out on the effectiveness of the current vaccines. (Side note: look up the difference between the term "efficacy" and the term "effectiveness" before responding.) In this case the teacher's family attest that she contracted the virus because of her job as a teacher at Ballou. Since you don't know her and her family does, I think I'll take their word for it over yours.

While any COVID death is sad and she was an in-person teacher according to the school, the article does not say they know how she contracted it.

Not going to happen. Even if a vaccine is eventually developed, many parents won’t vaccinate their kids. Basing any policy off of child vaccines is a non-starter.
Huh? We will test vaccines for kids and then vaccinate kids.
Enough random fear mongering.

Won’t be a pediatric vaccine for years if ever. This is an idiotic stance.
False. https://www.propublica.org/article/fauci-vaccines-kids
You can bet that if there's a vaccine for kids on the horizon the school systems will wait to wait until it's widely available to go back to normal 5 days a week school.
I have tremendous respect for Fauci (and unlike many, knew who he was before 2020), but he is not an oracle, and sometimes he has just thrown out an idea. Remember “immunity passports”? Remember the times he stood with Trump and Birx and crazy shit was said? So, this doesn’t mean a vaccine is on the horizon, like we can see it. It means he has an idea. This is therefore not a good call for any school system to use as part of their plan for full-time school. APS and others need to plan for what happens if things are only marginally better this fall, or not. If a vaccine is available under EUA for kids then it will not be required for school attendance. If we are collectively comfortable saying kids get completely de-prioritized for yet another year, then fine, but it’s not okay with me.

At our school, only half are coming back. Depending on the class, it'll be a quarter to a third in person in most cases on any given day.
Then next year (fall 2021), their parents need to send them to something like Virtual Virginia instead of making the in person teachers focus on the kids in the classroom AND on the computer screen. It's too much.
