I Don’t Want to Go Back’: Many Teachers Are Fearful and Angry Over Pressure to Return
The New York Times ^ | July 11, 2020 | Dana Goldstein and Eliza Shapiro

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.

On Friday, the teachers’ union in Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest district, demanded full-time remote learning when the academic year begins on Aug. 18, and called President Trump’s push to reopen schools part of a “dangerous, anti-science agenda that puts the lives of our members, our students and our families at risk.”

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

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”

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.

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

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.

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.
