I'm
a retired teacher, with many friends still teaching. When I've heard
them talking about this on social media, I couldn't believe how over the
top they were in their hysteria about possible DEATH - for themselves!
Clearly, they have worked themselves into a state of frenzy; they do seem to honestly believe that their lives will be in jeopardy, should they return in the fall (or, for that matter, until there is a vaccine available).
For some, retirement would make sense - they are still wanting to continue teaching, but their health is fragile, due to pre-existing conditions. But, they are fighting for online schooling, rather than what is a sensible alternative - retirement for them.
Some of the younger teachers have other reasons to fear - they are fat - morbidly obese. I'm not just talking about a few post-pregnancy pounds, but the kind of overweight that makes walking very far a serious problem.
I gained weight, too, but am currently exercising and dieting to take it off (which, given the higher risk, is a good idea for most of us).
It's time for the parents to call their bluff - they can stay out, if they accept unemployment as their compensation. No guarantee of a job if they later return.

all "teachers" need to be fired--they are useless,over paid baby sitters
ReplyDeleteThat would be a start.
Deletethis is how our great U.S.A. got so dumb people like this teaching our kids :shock:
ReplyDeleteAll commie teachers.
DeleteStrange how the ones protesting the most about bringing the students back to the classroom are also the most vocal liberal teachers in the school.
ReplyDeleteThese liberal teachers are following the Dem party line to cause as much carnage as possible before the election. GET BACK TO WORK!

DeleteAbsolutely.
I noticed the sign the one was carrying, "I can't teach from the grave." Listen here sunshine, you couldn't teach how to boil water. Don't worry about going on strike, everyone will home school - your position has been eliminated.
ReplyDeletehome school
DeleteAbsolutely.
These are not teachers. They are children having a temper tantrum. It’s obvious they are brainwashed and programmed. So, as tax payers it is time to place them on unemployment if they refuse to do the jobs they were hired to do. Seems they are more concerned about hearsay. You can’t fix STUPID and this is STUPID. Let them protest without PAY, let them complain without PAY. Just lay them all off, and hire new ones who will work. There are THOUSANDS available who will do it. Enjoy!
