LOL!

So true!

But that’s what we’ve been paying them for forever.

I’m calling this FAKE NEWS. It’s a lie. Define “many” in NYT speak. 3? 4?

[wjcsux]

You can always resign.

The party’s over.

And actually, “ science” is very firm that kids need to go back to school.

Oh no wait, science flipped again. Pediatricians bow to “ health experts”

Time to end public education around age 14...after that...home school or work/apprenticeship. ...maybe at mom or dad’s work...get employers involved

They wouldnt want to look like they were backing Trump or anything...

The Left has declared war on President Trump so they are doing everything they can do to destroy him

[JudyinCanada]

Perfect time for the right to take back what they, incrementally, gave up over the last 50 years.

Love reading insults about my teacher son 🙄...in Texas, there is no teacher union......he did distance teaching with his 5th graders for the months after schools closed down after spring break. Every day. Then, in the evenings he did one on one with students who needed help. Won’t matter much. The teacher and police hate here is driving so many of us away. I miss the comraderie and humor and fun we used to have.

Even the very children whose health risks from forced social isolation they described just two weeks ago

Now, they are “ breaking with Trump” over school opening

[lastchance]

Tough tetons.

[metmom]

Why should they when they have to work less now than they ever did and they are still drawing the same pay?

[MNDude]

Some good comes from closing the schools:

1. Liberal indoctrination is much less influential.
2. White kids are safer they would be in the toxic atmosphere in many inner city schools.

[CincyRichieRich]

Idiots teaching our kids.

Stop drawing a paycheck and you can stay at home as long as you like.

As the “news” article says, the virus is RAGING across America. Surely you life is worth more than a paycheck.....isn’t it? Unless of course you can stay at home and get the paycheck. You deserve it, right? You are smarter and better than the rest of us, as you have made clear many, many times in the past.

Are you willing to spend an entire day inside a closed room with ~30 children many of whom have little to no concept of personal hygiene?

COVID isn’t Ebola. And to answer your question, yes, I would be. What a bunch of pussies everyone has become. It’s pitiful.
