The government can’t have it both ways — by imposing all kinds of restrictions on people and businesses, and then claiming it’s perfectly OK for teachers to be in classrooms.
If I’m a teacher and I’m told by the government that it’s not safe to go to a restaurant or a baseball game, then I don’t trust anyone from the same government who says I should be in a classroom.
Home Depot, Walmart, Liquor warehouses, supermarkets...they all have never been closed. Teachers who don’t want to teach in person should be able to take a LOA, same with students. Those who wish to teach/attend schools should be able to. I’d like to see us able to make personal choices without big brother calling all the shots.
Chicago teacher union official: Keep your kids home … while she lives the pool life in a Caribbean resort .. ~Sarah Chambers... never missed a paycheck from the taxpayers.
Teachers are about the most useless, self righteous, and whiney group of no loads that I’ve ever seen. They want their cake and eat it to. They must all be fired like Reagan fired the air traffic controllers in the 80’s. Since nothing of worth is being taught anymore to the kids, I’m sure there are a myriad of able Americans who could replace them and come up to speed fast at the teachers current level of competence.
While they are at it they can declare the teachers union as a domestic terrorist organization.
My kids go to a private religious school. My wife teaches in a public school.
She made that same comparison, only claiming if it is OK to have school then we can by God go to dinner!
This isn’t about health, it is about virtue signaling. We have been having serious conversations about how and where we are going to live.
