Please Don’t Make Me Risk Getting Covid-19 to Teach Your Child
NYSlime - Opinion ^ | 7-18-2020 | Rebecca Martinson

SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. — Every day when I walk into work as a public-school teacher, I am prepared to take a bullet to save a child. In the age of school shootings, that’s what the job requires. But asking me to return to the classroom amid a pandemic and expose myself and my family to Covid-19 is like asking me to take that bullet home to my own family.

I won’t do it, and you shouldn’t want me to.

Has anyone received a property tax refund because these chronic whiners have not worked for several months? However, the still get paid. Stop paying these bums. Fire them if they won’t do their already over paid 7-8 month a year jobs.

What about stopping her paycheck? The problem is that teachers get paid no matter what.

But that paycheck will probably stop happening once everybody takes their kids out of the public school system and develops alternatives, which is happening even as we keyboard.

People need to protest against paying insane taxes for a service that is not delivered.

This needs to happen, again...

...On August 5, following the PATCO workers’ refusal to return to work, Reagan fired the 11,345 striking air traffic controllers who had ignored the order,[11][12] and banned them from federal service for life. In the wake of the strike and mass firings, the FAA was faced with the task of hiring and training enough controllers to replace those that had been fired, a hard problem to fix as, at the time, it took three years in normal conditions to train a new controller.[1] They were replaced initially with non-participating controllers, supervisors, staff personnel, some non-rated personnel, and in some cases by controllers transferred temporarily from other facilities. Some military controllers were also used until replacements could be trained. PATCO was decertified by the Federal Labor Relations Authority on October 22, 1981. The decision was appealed but to no avail,[13] and attempts to use the courts to reverse the firings proved fruitless.[14]...

Costco and Walmart workers have continued non-stop during the pandemic. But our precious, unionized drama queens of the classroom are going to pretend their facing bullets when we ask them to do their damn jobs.

No one is insisting they show up to teach. In fact, parents would probably prefer teachers who aren’t prone to hysteria. There are plenty of other professions they might pursue. I hear Wendy’s is hiring.

Wear a mask, Miss Becky. Your governor assures you that you will be completely, 100%, without a shadow of doubt completely safe from the Wuhan Flu. What .... You don’t believe your governor? Quick ... what’s that virus infidel reporting hotline number!....

I’m not going to read the whole thread, but I hope someone says this:

We are now free of our left-wing pornographic movies, our communist and atheist schools, and our so-called churches.

What is everybody bitchin’ about?

It’s a whole new start.

OK teacher, you can quit.

And, many of them would quit. They can't. In Texas, teachers' 2020-2021 school year contracts have already been signed, and the districts won't let them quit. Teachers have already been teaching online for two months now, so why should they go back to the classrooms? Just to to babysit your little darlings? Parents are always complaining about how public school has taken over the job of parenting. Well, here's your chance to start raising your own kids!

Do people really understand “Red for Ed”... it’s communist. All of the teachers unions are Marxists organizations and have been for years. Do they really care about those “little bastards” .... think so, refer back to some of the undercover videos done by Project Veritas.

How will she react when she’s told none of us want a teacher like her teaching our kids and grandkids?
Please stay home lady. And no, not for one split second do I believe you would willingly take a bullet for anybody.
