It’s not that I am not sympathetic to teachers because I am. (Not paid enough, forced to be social workers, no true disciplinary structure, social promotion, etc..). However, it is their job of choice.
Do you think that Doctors, Nurses, therapist, Assistants, Janitorial staff, administrative staff, etc... get to say that they are not going to work because of the risks? What about EMS, Firefighters, Police Officers, or our Military? Each of these are on the front line. They do the work because it’s their job. Teachers teach because it’s their job. If schools open back up for face to face learning, it’s their choice to continue in that profession. Sorry for being truthful! But, that’s life. You either accept the risks and do your job or find a new one. Therein lies the choice.
