Tip of the iceberg? I’m afraid we’ll start seeing more medical workers doing the same thing! Not a bright future for America.

I would too!

Heard that this morning and am not surprised. How are the future generations supposed to get an education without teachers. If I believed in conspiracies I would think this is the Republican plan to dump public schools and only provide education through religious schools and media as Faux Noise. This does not bode well for the future of the country.

A good friend of mine just retired rather than go back to the classroom.

Can't blame them. Most of them will be fine. They won't have to travel for work, it's an expense you never get back. In my city many teachers face threats of violence going to work as well as being high risk for Covid-19.

My wife's school will buy manipulatives, things students touch, for each student. Parents may select distance learning or classroom instruction. They will enforce masks as long as it is mandated. They will separate students as much as possible, depending on classroom size. They will take the temperature of everyone who enters the school. They are working to provide a safe environment, but resources are limited.

My wife will return to school. She will wear mask, goggles and lab coat for safety.

I expect school to greatly exacerbate the pandemic.

Not surprising.
