I know—but I know a few teachers who want to return to the classroom (they are younger) and also a few who have stated they are going to quit teaching if we are not back to school soon and do something else because they can’t stand distance learning.
Kindergartners and first graders are sobbing in front of their laptops and rolling around on the floor and hate “school;” teachers of elem kids often don’t want any part of this. It’s like torture for the little ones.
Schools need to open - period. If teachers are afraid then ‘they’ need to find another profession. Problem solved.
