Let’s pray that our country gets it together on a national level to get the virus under control. I am so tired of people blaming the teacher’s union for the failure of Trump.
viral levels are low in DC. Private schools are in session. This is not about Trump.
yes, we have it under control in DC. Stop politicizing science.
Everything is political, you need to wake up. DC is not just for you.

However, the situation now is much better than in the Spring. It should be the data, not raw fear, that drives the decisions.
And in-person is optional! So let the people who want to go in-person — whatever their color — go. They can work any kinks out the system and show (or not) that in-person okay.
So we are just going to ignore this, yeah? (The rise is being blamed on small gatherings.)

Do attendees at the social gatherings wear masks and sit six feet apart? I guarantee you they do not. Really sad they don’t bother to ask.
Will students be wearing masks when they nap? Will they be wearing masks when they eat lunch in their classrooms?
Perhaps you should ask day cares, which have operated this whole time. Or consult other schools that have been open for almost three months in person. You act like you’re going to die by simply walking into the building and it’s simply not the case. Teachers all over the country are working in person.

Notice the percentage of white vs brown and black families that feel comfortable coming back to school. And what percentage of teachers feel comfortable coming back to school.
Wow. Now that’s the transparency I want to see at our school.

My point exactly, this is always the rebuttal. Calling attention to an unsafe practice that is causing my colleagues and I stress, and then being told to quit our jobs for even mentioning it.

We are not opening schools because children are vectors and people will die.

In person is not “optional!” for school staff. If we raise concerns we are told to quit or to take leave. Sure some lucky few get to stay remote but the rest of us will be in person and it’s terrifying.
