What sane minded adult would want to return to a classroom full of germs during a pandemic? If you want them in the classroom so bad it's time you go in there and teach.

You never were the brightest bulb.....

The effort is designed to kill the economy, and America's chances to elect Trump.

But then, you've claimed not to be much of an American.
 
Oh I'm as american as you. I was born here, a swedish american I am. It must bother you that law abiding, hard working, tax paying Christian men like me live here.
 
So the reason an older teacher is nervous about going back is to get rid of Trump? There is no virus? During a pandemic, it's the parents responsibility to deal with their kids. They need to adjust to accommodate. They can homeschool. You are a homeschooler and I think that's awesome. You are not dependent on schools to supervise your kids. During a pandemic all households could do that maybe.
 
Oh I'm as american as you. I was born here, a swedish american I am. It must bother you that law abiding, hard working, tax paying Christian men like me live here.


I wasn't born here but I far more of an American than you.....


Didn't you say this:

now I have not a patriotic bone in my body






. Of course I will admit I don't have a patriotic bone in my body eventhough i was born in america




How about you just get lost.

"Public School Teachers Continue To Insist Their Jobs Are Non-Essential
August 4th, 2020
article-6725-2.jpg


U.S.—Public school teachers gathered outside the schoolhouses of the nation this week, continuing to insist quite adamantly that their jobs are non-essential.

“We need to lockdown all non-essential work, like teaching, due to the coronavirus pandemic,” stated one teacher protesting outside her local elementary school. “What we do in the classroom is really not adding the kind of value to your children’s upbringing that we should risk spreading the virus.”
“If you look at the graduation rates, standardized test scores, and the studies that indicate public schools aren’t preparing students for the real world, believe me, we’re not doing your child any favors,” she added.
Another teacher holding a sign which read ‘Don’t Make Us Work!’ quickly chimed in, “But we should still be paid until there is a vaccine. People are suffering in this crisis, essential workers and non-essential workers alike, and we all just need to get through this together. God bless our essential workers.”

At publishing time, the protesters had ordered food delivery and more protesting supplies that arrived to them thanks to the hard work of actual essential workers."
 
"Teachers Unions Are Attempting Political Blackmail. It’s Time To Break Them Up
In an abject show of selfishness and political bias, teachers unions are trying to hold the country hostage over baseless COVID-19 fears.
AUGUST 5, 2020

It’s not enough that public school teachers and the college professors who train them are increasingly prone to teaching leftist absurdities like “2+2=5” or presenting the mendacious 1619 Project as legitimate American history. Teachers unions are now trying to blackmail the entire country into meeting a set of leftist political demands for reopening the schools this fall, using COVID-19 as their excuse."

I was given one pack of 50 wipes for the school year...this literally wont make it to the end of the first day. That's my district's plan for combating Covid. I'm not against going to brick and mortar school but make it safe for students and faculty if you're going to do so.

Let's base it on this:

Those age 50-64 were better but still not great. At 0.14% Infection Fatality Rate Estimate, that's 14 deaths for every 10,000 infections. For people in this age group, it's about 14 times more dangerous than influenza. But from there, the Infection Fatality Rate Estimate drops dramatically. Those age 20-49 have a 0.0092%, or nine deaths per 100,000 infections. As for children age 10-19, the rate drops to 0.00032%, or three deaths per 1 MILLION infections.

It's understandable that mainstream media and Democrats do not want this information known because it would eliminate the need for locking down the nation, at least for those under 50-years-old. But why isn't the White House addressing it? This study is tailor-made for the reopening narrative.

I'm not saying the media isn't blowing it out of proportion because they are. But do you really think that one pack of 50 wipes is sufficient enough?

Currently 10 packs of 10 wipes costs $30 (plus tax) on Amazon. This is for a generic off-brand I chose the first one that came up in my search and Amazon has it listed as the best value. I have provided the link below. That is $0.30 per wipe. I usually have between 160-175 students per school year. Let's go conservative and say I have 150 this year. We have been told by our superintendent that our classes will be the same sizes as usual since the students doing online learning will be taught by teachers at our schools, thus 50% of the students will be taught by 50% of the teachers.

Now with 150 students let's say 140 show up to school every day. That would require 140 wipes per day.

140 X 0.30 = 42

I would have to spend $42 a day on wipes alone. This does not included sales tax I'd have to pay, and again is on the conservative side of the number of students.

Again is one pack of 50 wipes sufficient to protect my students and myself? Is it reasonable to expect me to pay nearly $50 per day on supplies to keep my students and myself safe?

Hard to imagine the quantity you're claiming.

The only teachers who can claim 'danger' are the oldest ones.

And they're earning over 100k.....buy the darn wipes.......

.....it's tax deductible.

I make about $45K, that's a far cry from $100K. No teacher in my district makes over $65 on teacher pay alone, let alone $100K. Some make a few grand more for coaching, having more responsibilities at the school (like being a department head)-but not a single teacher in my district makes $100K. Not even close. Not even teachers who've been there 35 years.

School supplies are no longer tax deductible for teachers after $250. That would get me through the first week and that's about it. That's not counting all of the other supplies I have to purchase for my classroom and getting a tax break on them.

Hard to believe I have at least 140 students? As a high school teacher how many students do you really think I have every day? Last year I had 158 students enrolled the first day of classes. Of course some students move, some move in, etc. so the numbers fluctuate a little bit but it remains within 3-4 of that number.

So again I ask you is it reasonable for me to spend that much that on wipes per day to secure the safety of my students as well as myself? Is it reasonable for the district to give me one pack of 50 wipes?

Those age 20-49 have a 0.0092%, or nine deaths per 100,000 infections. As for children age 10-19, the rate drops to 0.00032%, or three deaths per 1 MILLION infections.

It's understandable that mainstream media and Democrats do not want this information known because it would eliminate the need for locking down the nation, at least for those under 50-years-old. But why isn't the White House addressing it? This study is tailor-made for the reopening narrative.


I'm not saying the media isn't blowing it out of proportion because they are. But do you really think that one pack of 50 wipes is sufficient enough?

Currently 10 packs of 10 wipes costs $30 (plus tax) on Amazon. This is for a generic off-brand I chose the first one that came up in my search and Amazon has it listed as the best value. I have provided the link below. That is $0.30 per wipe. I usually have between 160-175 students per school year. Let's go conservative and say I have 150 this year. We have been told by our superintendent that our classes will be the same sizes as usual since the students doing online learning will be taught by teachers at our schools, thus 50% of the students will be taught by 50% of the teachers.

Now with 150 students let's say 140 show up to school every day. That would require 140 wipes per day.

140 X 0.30 = 42

I would have to spend $42 a day on wipes alone. This does not included sales tax I'd have to pay, and again is on the conservative side of the number of students.

Again is one pack of 50 wipes sufficient to protect my students and myself? Is it reasonable to expect me to pay nearly $50 per day on supplies to keep my students and myself safe?

Hard to imagine the quantity you're claiming.

The only teachers who can claim 'danger' are the oldest ones.

And they're earning over 100k.....buy the darn wipes.......

.....it's tax deductible.

I make about $45K, that's a far cry from $100K. No teacher in my district makes over $65 on teacher pay alone, let alone $100K. Some make a few grand more for coaching, having more responsibilities at the school (like being a department head)-but not a single teacher in my district makes $100K. Not even close. Not even teachers who've been there 35 years.

School supplies are no longer tax deductible for teachers after $250. That would get me through the first week and that's about it. That's not counting all of the other supplies I have to purchase for my classroom and getting a tax break on them.

Hard to believe I have at least 140 students? As a high school teacher how many students do you really think I have every day? Last year I had 158 students enrolled the first day of classes. Of course some students move, some move in, etc. so the numbers fluctuate a little bit but it remains within 3-4 of that number.

So again I ask you is it reasonable for me to spend that much that on wipes per day to secure the safety of my students as well as myself? Is it reasonable for the district to give me one pack of 50 wipes?



If you don't feel safe, don't go in.

You keep avoiding my questions intentionally. If you think one pack of 50 wipes is sufficient or somebody paying over $800/month (literally) to keep their students and themselves safe is reasonable just admit it. If you don't that's fine but don't ignore the cognitive dissonance and pretend like it doesn't exist. I mean don't get me wrong you could continue to do that...but don't expect people to take you seriously or to convince anybody with such weakly support convictions.

"Public School Teachers Continue To Insist Their Jobs Are Non-Essential
August 4th, 2020
article-6725-2.jpg


U.S.—Public school teachers gathered outside the schoolhouses of the nation this week, continuing to insist quite adamantly that their jobs are non-essential.

“We need to lockdown all non-essential work, like teaching, due to the coronavirus pandemic,” stated one teacher protesting outside her local elementary school. “What we do in the classroom is really not adding the kind of value to your children’s upbringing that we should risk spreading the virus.”
“If you look at the graduation rates, standardized test scores, and the studies that indicate public schools aren’t preparing students for the real world, believe me, we’re not doing your child any favors,” she added.
Another teacher holding a sign which read ‘Don’t Make Us Work!’ quickly chimed in, “But we should still be paid until there is a vaccine. People are suffering in this crisis, essential workers and non-essential workers alike, and we all just need to get through this together. God bless our essential workers.”

At publishing time, the protesters had ordered food delivery and more protesting supplies that arrived to them thanks to the hard work of actual essential workers."

I was given one pack of 50 wipes for the school year...this literally wont make it to the end of the first day. That's my district's plan for combating Covid. I'm not against going to brick and mortar school but make it safe for students and faculty if you're going to do so.


How much would it cost you to buy another?

Cite where I ever claimed somebody is making me do something. I'm merely pointing out that the schools in my district (I can't speak about any others) aren't prepare to safely open. Nothing more, nothing less.
