[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8058101, member: 19675"] Most of the teachers I know are NOT happy. Retired ones are saying they’d quit. Employed ones are saying that sounds like a plan. Weeks ago, I mentioned that the pandemic might resculpt society. This is one area in which I’m thinking the probability is high. I’ve been seeing a lot of online posts from teachers and school admins who are most definitely NOT on board with school reopening plans. Especially after some of those already opening have had C19 events- one on the very first day of classes. One I saw recently was an administrator sending out a thank you to all the teachers in his school system who had recently quit instead of work under their state’s reopening plan. It seems there was a big public meeting in which many parents vocally & loudly urged teachers unwilling to teach classes in person to quit. So a shitload of them did, along with a bunch of ancillary personnel. So the admin had to hold [I]another[/I] public meeting with parents at which he announced they didn’t have the required staff to reopen for in person classes, so everything was going to be done remotely. [I][I]mic drop[/I] [I]silence[/I][/I] “Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.” [/QUOTE]
