Op and other APS parent, how did you find out? Assuming the teachers told the kids?

Just curious as we're also in APS. Our ES child's teacher will be there in person, but we have no idea about MS (which is a black box to parents in other ways, too).

Yep, the hand-holding of parents ends in ES. This is the way it should be.

This x1000000.

Why a teacher chooses to remain virtual is really none of your business. Your child gets to be back in the classroom, amongst peers. Isn't this the main reason why most parents wanted their kids back in school - for mental health issues resulting from isolation? Yes, having an in person teacher is better but your kid will be okay if one or two classes are taught virtually while kids are in the classroom. Your demand that all teachers return in person is just plain selfish. You don't know the personal situation of those choosing to remain virtual. Maybe they have an at risk family member who hasn't been vaccinated. I personally know of one teacher who has a child going through cancer treatments. Obviously, this child can't be vaccinated and is at high risk. Yes, the teacher is vaccinated so she probably won't fall ill with Covid, but being around unvaccinated kids all day, she can still get silently infected and could pass it on to her child. She shouldn't have to take that risk. Simply, whatever a teacher's reason is, you don't need to know it as it's none of your business. Teaching is a tough job and those who choose that profession choose it because they care. Why don't you try to have some compassion and stop thinking just about yourself?

Agree with Ozp. What possible medical reason could someone have who is vaccinated not to return to a hybrid model with PPE? There are none! Its 95 effective in preventing hospitalization and mortality from Covid. The kids were told today at WMS and were so disappointed. One tescher said “ it’s best for my family?” WTF? Are the teachers staying home for childcare? Why can’t the teachers pay for daycare like the rest of us. The message the WMS teachers are sending to the kids is just terrible; l don’t really care about you and your education to get back to work.

Since you seem to lack imagination, here are a few possibilities that don't involve childcare:

--the teacher has a spouse with a health condition who is under 65 and still waiting for a vaccine
--the teacher has elderly relatives that live with them or that they care for that may still be waiting for vaccine
--the teacher has a teen/young adult with a health condition/special needs that is still waiting for a vaccine

In the end, it's none of your business, and teachers have a right to put their families first.

The fact this person has the nerve to get mad at a teacher saying “it’s what’s best for my family” is insane. Teachers are not martyrs. They are allowed to care about their families.

1) There is no vaccine that is 95% effective against all mutations of the virus and none that have any affect over 25% against some of the mutations. (Sources: CDC website, Dr. Fauci)
2) There is no proof that a vaccinated person is not a spreader of the virus. (Sources: CDC website, Dr. Fauci)

When the teacher said "it is best for my family" then I am sure the teacher was referring to #s 1 and 2. That teacher has his/her priorities in order. The health and safety of the teacher and/or the teacher's family is vastly more important than your child's education. The message the teacher is sending is that health and safety are the first priority; everything else comes after that. Always. I applaud that teacher and those teachers sending that message.

Interesting that you “agree with OP” since your writing style is the same.

+1 They also knew somehow that OP was talking about WMS!

You could be happy your kid is back in school. With the majority of their teachers. Or you could focus on TWO. Why are you doing this to yourself?

Okay, drama queen.

those people aren't going to be happy until they kill a teacher.
