The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Tuesday that 80% of all teachers, school staff and childcare workers in the U.S. have received at least the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

“Our push to ensure that teachers, school staff and childcare workers were vaccinated during March has paid off and paved the way for safer in-person learning,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Tuesday. “CDC will build on the success of this program and work with our partners to continue expanding our vaccination efforts, as we work to ensure confidence in COVID-19 vaccines.”
But despite the rapidly increasing number of shots administered to school officials, teachers unions have remained reluctant to have their members return to the classroom for in-person teaching.
Legal battles have popped up around the nation from San Francisco to Chicago, largely surrounding the issue of getting teachers back in the classroom for in-person instruction.
OAKLAND TEACHERS REFUSE TO RETURN TO SCHOOL, DESPITE GETTING COVID VACCINE PRIORITY
Oakland teachers will be required to start in-person instruction on April 14, just three weeks after the district and teachers unions agreed to get instructors back in the classroom for select students.
But father of a southern California middle school student, Scott Davison, said that from what he has seen, it is not the teachers who are keeping schools from reopening, but rather union officials.

Zachreson said that union officials are using “safety” as an excuse to keep schools operating under hybrid schedules to maintain their bargaining chip.
“What I believe is happening, they are going to continue to push with these models, these ridiculous hybrid models under the guise of safety, to negotiate more pay and benefits for their members,” he said Tuesday.
The CDC has said it is not necessary that every teacher and student be vaccinated before returning to the classroom, and noted that the adverse effects on children conducting virtual learning, outstrip the threat of transmitting the virus during in-school learning.
I was doing a survey on school reopening and somehow got flagged as an educational professional.
It was asking if teachers would refuse to come back to work unless and until:
* all teachers were vaccinated
* all students were vaccinated
* charter schools were banned / limited
* homeschooling was banned/limited
* teachers got hero pay, too
They were intentionally asking if teachers wanted to put these restrictions on public school alternatives as a condition of reopening schools.
They just want to continue get up, walk to their computer, and teach on Zoom with their pj bottoms and some ‘sort of professional’ shirt.
Teachers are hybrid politicians. I have one next door who has no intention of going back to work. Big sign in yard...”an awesome teacher lives here”.
American flag hanging above it.
I was going to put a sign in the yard that says “an awesome tax payer lives here”, bought thought better.
This is what you get letting the schools go gynocentric and spending the last 40 years removing normal straight men from administration and classroom positions.
Who knew women want to stay at home, not do anything but still collect a paycheck? Thats the majority of what you’re facing here, now in 2021.
Yep
The NEA and the CTA are definitely averse to restarting in-person classes but once the kids are back the real problems will be the contributions of CRT and BLM. It is a FUBAR situation.
The union private membership was in decline, thanks to right to work laws, and then JFK wrote an executive order allowing public employees to unionize giving the unions new life. Expect Joe Birdbrain to outlaw right to work states.
Teachers exposed as total wimp losers in it only for money.
No wonder standardized test grades haven’t improved over the past 30 years.
All public school teachers should get monthly criminal background and mental competency checks. Maybe ankle monitoring devices too.
Most teachers are communists, no surprise there.
CA. teachers are volunteering to go into CROWDED convention centers to teach illegals boy i am becoming MORE THAN PISSED OFF!! SCUM all of them!!

If you have kids, take them out of public schools, either put them in private schools or home school them.
