Many of the nation’s 3.5 million teachers found themselves feeling under siege this week as pressure from the White House, pediatricians and some parents to get back to physical classrooms intensified — even as the coronavirus rages across much of the country.

Then quit. Let’s have a complete overhaul and this time not have them be leftist agitators.

Most, if not all teachers/staff are getting paid in full and with all benefits paid.
Why work if you can get full pay for not working?
And what about this?
