65% of teachers are lazy and want to continue to take advantage of the government.
That's what everyone is reading, correct?

Everyone I teach with can't wait to get back in the classroom. Teaching remotely was a F'ing nightmare to try to navigate.

We are 100% uncomfortable with their marxist agenda on our children.
Maybe having online school is the way to go that way we can monitor what they teach...by watching and recording their zoom sessions

Public schools here didn’t even try, just ended school year in March

Teachers want to get paid not to work per usual, you would think a job with 5 months of vacation would be enough

Exactly. Public schools in This state are an utter failure on just about every level. Even the “good” ones.

Teachers better be careful with this kind of shite. I’ve seen articles talking about teacher unions trying to make moves to get demands met and such. But if they keep pushing for at home learning, they surely have to realize that you only need a fraction of the number of teachers to do that rather than in-class teaching. And many will find themselves without jobs. I get that some teachers should be careful about returning to class, but that seems like a dangerous and slippery slope they are on IMO.

In their defense, a large majority of them would be of the most vulnerable. Lots of old and fat teachers.

Would they be more comfortable if everyone had to wear masks while in school?

Blame the state, not the actual teachers. My wife is a retired teacher, she got out at a good time, and it's only gotten worse.
I feel badly for teachers in today's SJW world, and it's worse trying to work remotely. I don't know of a single teacher who would prefer to be remote instead of in classroom. Much easier to teach and control what happens.

Would these same teachers that were in the survey be uncomfortable with not getting paid if they didn't return to work?

Back when teaching was a top profession for women, you wouldn’t have had this.
Now the top women go into much better professions. Those women probably have not missed a day of work.
It has left us with on average terrible teachers.

I don't blame them for their concern.Our schools have shut down for the flu before so we know this environment is a breeding ground for viruses.
Uncomfortable is probably a mild word.Scared shitless is probably more like it.
There are plenty of good ones though, usually concentrated in the good school districts
For example, here in the best school district in Louisiana, 78% of teachers said they were ready to go back

78.9% of employees who responded feel comfortable returning to work in person in August with currently recommended safety protocols being enforced

Or just cut it. I would think what, 25% of their workload is cut through online classes? Let's say 15%. Cut their salary by 15% and let's run this poll again.

Reality is we will probably have to learn to live with this virus and many others viruses in the future.
Sooner of later the kids will have to come back to school learning to social distance the best they can. School is more than just learning on line. Being at school teaches kids how to deal with interacting with other kids and adults.
The teachers, businesses, and groups who do not change with the times will be left behind.

As a person that knows many educators and admins I can tell you that MOST of the anxiety they feel is because of the uncertainty of how the logistics of social distancing, etc is going to play out in the day to day classroom environment. I am actually yet to hear a single teacher that I know express fear over the "deadly, contagious virus". I'm sure those are out there... but I hear a metric shite ton of concern over how the schools are going to do the day instruction, feeding, bussing, etc, and stay within governor sloth's mandates.

That makes sense and seems valid.
What have the administrators / leaders in these school districts been doing all summer long? I would assume / hope these folks were preparing for the upcoming school year with the anticipation that social distancing would be required. The answer cannot just be "let's just do virtual learning" because that system just did not work. Maybe the virtual learning this year will be significantly improved, but I am skeptical.

I'm also a person who knows many "educators". You should see my FB feed. They all clearly fall into the 65%, and it's nothing to do with logistics, or anything you mentioned. They state they are scared to return, and they might die or bring the virus home to someone they care about. One North GA friend of mine, thinks her healthy, normal daughter might get it at school and die. Of course that's the reasoning they give, but in reality, they've become accustomed to sitting at home, collecting a check. They aren't ready to give that up.

Well as you recall we were rolling along in June with social distancing relaxed, and no mask mandate. At that point, things were seemingly trending toward the normal end of things. Then we went backward in early July. Keep in mind that the LDOE and BESE kinda set the tone for education in the state with local boards having the final say. So, there is a slow but steady trickle down effect before the final, final decisions are put into the hands of school administrators.
My wife is Principal at a K-12 school. They begin school next week and the final requirements from the board and Parish Admins hit her hands last week. Figuring out the logistics involved in dealing with students from 5-19 years of age has been challenging to say the least. It'll get done. But, I can't say she hasn't had several rounds of cussing out the world while getting it done. LOL
