Just read a thread where two teacher friends of mine talk about how they were considering delaying getting their vaccines because they felt they were being rushed to go back to school and now I don't know what I say.
"The longer we wait, the more leverage we have to stay remote"
"The longer we wait, the more leverage we have to stay remote"
I think they genuine about believing schools should stay remote because they're worried about children or their parents, and because they just enjoy being home, but they're not very realistic about the conditions they think warrant going back to school
The odd thing about this is I know a lot of teachers, and some (like my cousins or a couple of other friends) were practically doing a Forrest Gump run to the vaccine site when they made eligible because they WANTED to go back to in-person schooling.
My take is that we have utterly terrified so many people that they don't even want to do anything they were told not to do last March until there is clear consensus that it's safe. We had traumatised people.
That said, there is some overlap between the teachers I'm talking about and ones who start whining the first weekend of summer vacation that there's only 11 weeks of it left, and then brag that they became teachers "to have the summer off," so.
