When they invoke Covid as a reason they want to quit, especially fricking omicron, their argument loses all validity


I think MOST teachers don’t give two shits about actually catching omicron, what pisses them off is all the bullshite safety measures like some schools still enforcing social distancing, forcing sterilization between classes, contact tracing, mandatory quarantine for close contacts if you’re unvaccinated, etc.

I also know that teachers are not getting supported by school administrations in general. A lot of principals and other administrative positions that no longer teach classes are on absolute power trips and are borderline running dictatorships. Some of these “leaders” are absolutely abusing their authority and I think this has a lot to do with teacher burnout these last 2 years.

And lots of school district HR departments are so gung ho about showing the public and politicians how "proactive" they are being when it comes to protecting our kids, and the public at large, that they've completely gone off the deep end concerning Covid protocols for employees.

Except, when it comes down to it they don't really give a shite. Since the CDC changed their recommendations, our district now requires the 5 day quarantine for employees but students still have to quarantine for 10 days. Why is this? Do children carry Covid for a longer period of time or do they really just need employees back sooner so they don't run into staffing shortages? Makes no sense.

Loudon County, Virginia is a prime example of this. They're not a school board, but a ruling dictatorship.
