THE COMMENT

“Are you going to send your kids into a building with no adults? No. So when you're out there demanding that schools open and all of your arguments are about you, about what you need, about what your kids need, but NEVER ONCE mention the dangers to the staff and faculty who will necessarily need to be in those schools, you can see where I'm a little concerned…Do you know what schools look like once school starts? We are a snotty, sneezing, sniffly, coughing mess and that's without spike proteins invading our beings. I'm worried for me. I have parents who are considered elderly (sorry about that, but you are). Parents I have only seen from a distance since early March, except for that super socially-distanced Father's Day. I'm worried for teachers who are parents—what will they do with their kids whose school schedules might be wildly different than that of their parents?” - A teacher’s Facebook post went viral regarding her concerns about reopening schools.
