Teacher here: I post daily on several sites about this. If Covid is so real, so deadly, and millions will die just like the Media proclaims every single minute, then why are schools being opened. I mean is Covid real or not? I’d like to know...because if Covid is this deadly pandemic that kills millions then to force school openings is a miscarriage. But if Covid is not real, as I suspect, then sure, open schools. No one responds to my question.
Disclaimer: my last year before I retire, don’t care at all, I’m in an urban poor school and know BLM will be pushed down my throat and all the Amish will be up in arms so, yes, I rather stay home this fall. Secondly, when we went remote this spring I had less than 5% of my students participate...and our district said nothing would be graded. It’s all a joke, remote or face to face....so yes...I’d rather stay home.
Great time to pass vouchers.
Churches should step in and use their classrooms for schooling during the weekdays. Hire good teachers and provide good old fashion civics lessons. I am 70 and recall standing up each morning to recite the pledge of allegiance.
As they say, Never let a crisis go to waste.
Teachers might want to do a wisdom check on any strikes. Parents sense that teaching their children can’t wait and they will quickly find other options. The public school system worked well in the 1950’s; times are changing.
fire them all
these teachers are such wimps...try being a nurse on a covid floor ...try putting on plastic gowns, hair nets, special tight fitting masks plus plastic shields and gloves and try doing work in that get up....
teachers are not essential workers for a reason....
Unsafe working conditions in schools,they just deemed them self unessential but police,mail persons,clerks,construction workers,truck drivers,doctors and nurses,custodians,car was people all are essential.
The primary and secondary public education system as developed under teacher union pressure led to a large, bloated contingent of teachers and support staff. That makes for lots of marginal teachers and staff, maximum employee discontent, and maximum fee income for the teacher unions. Teachers who have a genuine calling prefer to avoid the unions and public school bureaucracy and instead work for private and parochial schools.
How much you want to bet all this stops once Biden is elected. All this panic and rioting and strikes and fear.
In the flu epidemic of two years ago (the one no one heard about), it’s estimated that 48 million people were infected. No one was talking about asymptomatic super spreaders and things like that in those days, since the election was a ways off yet, so who knows if all those people actually knew they were ill.
Anyway, that amounts to about 14.5% of the population, or a little more than one in seven persons.
With the insanity that has been foisted on this country in the last five months, the case/positive/negative/death numbers can’t be trusted anyway, so there is really no point in discussing it because the base data is deliberately flawed.
All we can go by is what we see with our own eyes, and that is that no one I know, myself included, knows anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone (...) who has had this disease which we are told exists.
And, everyone, get your Fauci/Birx Designer Edition Covid Goggles before they sell out! Available at a mask-required retailer near you! Buy two, get a free scarf!
We’re thinking along the same lines here, but I’m about seven hours late, as usual. I work, what can I say.
See my post right above this one for some of my stellar wit related to your two posts. I hadn’t even seen them when I posted, and I’ve never been to Connecticut, but I have smoked Connecticut tobacco.
