Remember the Georgia High School Student recently suspended for sharing a photo online of packed hallways of students w/o masks?You wouldn't believe that now 9 people there have tested positive for COVID-19 and counting:https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/people-test-positive-coronavirus-georgia-school-viral-crowded/story?id=72263772&__twitter_impression=true
Teachers, backed by their union, don't want in-person instruction, hey?
Or maybe they are skeptical that they are the next Covid experiment. Or 1000 other complicated things that involve parents, teachers and local governments.
Not so complicated for private schools and their teachers, who are ready and willing to take on the vital task of educating kids again. The phenomenon only applies to public education and unions which have ruined the quality.
I know parents that have chosen to do virtual learning or home schooling. Is that the unions fault too?
Parents are overwhelmingly in favor of reopening schools in southeastern WI. And we know this by survey responses sent out by school districts. Even in communities that are not conservative.If a parent chooses not to send their kids because they don’t feel it’s safe, that’s their prerogative and their right. That has nothing to do with my point about unions.
That suspension was reversed
You're an idiot looking to start an argument.
1. Masks are mandatory to enter school for everyone. It should not be an issue because everywhere I go in Connecticut people are doing a good job wearing.2. School is not handling testing They are asking everyone to self-temperature check at home before leaving for school. And if you feel sick in any way to stay home.3. Yes, they are asking those who get sick to notify school. I believe they are asking those who were in contact to quarantine and get tested. Not sure of full details.My kids worked the town summer camp which did open with strict protocols 7 weeks + another orientation week finished with no incidents. 1 week left to go.
Take one to know one. Right back at you liberal bro, aina?
I am amazed at the energy and excitement for reopening the schools from teachers / admin at SE Wisconsin Catholic schools. I was with several this weekend and they are passionate as hell. One got choked up and said: "Don't tell me I cannot do this...we've been planning for months, we have incredible protocols and measures in place. We can make this work."
This .. befuddles me. I think we hear mostly from public school teachers .. in (your) village, 25% of them surveyed selected they'd resign, retire, FMLA, etc if forced to go in-person. My teacher wife is completely relieved her district is all virtual. Teacher organizations are rallying to fight in-person classes.Now .. clearly that's not 100% of all teachers. One would figure XX% are as you observed, passionately awaiting being in the classroom.So .. either your experiences are from self-selected pro-in-person teachers (or hand-selected by administrators for their excitement) .. or perhaps there's something about parochial teachers that make them more interested than their public school counterparts. Thoughts?

From my experience (wife is a teacher, neighbor is a teacher, both have discussed their colleagues), it's very much case-by-case. My wife was looking forward to being in the classroom with kids, providing she was comfortable with the safety precautions. But she has co-workers who for various reasons (mostly health-related) were not comfortable with being in a school building with 500 other people.As much as some of the usual suspects want to make lazy arguments about union boogeymen and uncaring teachers, it's a personal decision based on a host of individual factors for every teacher. Trying to make this a private vs public thing is nonsense. The reasons private schools are opening more than public schools have nothing to do with the attitude of the teaching staffs.
