I think the poster is referencing an age group. It's been shown in multiple countries across the world that children under 10 do not spread coronavirus. The link you sent, is showing that teenagers appear to spread it, but the affects to children of all ages are minimal.

Austrailia

England

Swiss and French

One of the dumbest statements in this thread. The attitude that ‘anybody can teach’ is exactly why our education system has suffered as a whole.


I know a young teacher. She went into education because she couldn't do the "math" that a marketing degree required. She teaches at an elementary school, teaching all subjects, including math.

I would argue it's selfish to expect a whole school district to open just so you can put your kid's care off on someone else.

There's not enough evidence to say that conclusively.

Fair enough, but, as a parent, the care for your child is your responsibility, not the school's. Everyone has to make sacrifices.

Kids spread sickness like wildfire.


Well then the non-working teachers can collect unemployment like you.

There is more than enough evidence provided to make an informed decision. Pretending otherwise is simply promoting a political agenda.

Cool you know 1 person out of thousands....

Oh course you are also implying the math for marketing and that of 4th grade is the same by that comment.

Which would lead me to believe that those in marketing are only as smart as a fourth grade student.

Well, you either don't have kids, or dont' have a job, or both. That statement shows it.

You can still love your children, and want schools to open. You haven't tried working from home with 2 children and it shows. We have. Luckily, my youngest kids daycare is open, and my oldest has been in summer camps. And, our private school is opening fully, so we are covered. If this didn't happen, then both of our jobs would suffer, especially my wife's considering she has to work from home right now.

You making these simplistic responses shows you have no personal experience.

My kids go to school to get an education, while me and my wife both work. We have been in that situation from the beginning, as most parents have. And my parents did the same for me. That's not "expecting care" for my kids.

You don't just walk up to somebody and say, "tough shite, quit your job". And then shrug it off because you don't give a shite. That's a fricked up way of looking at things. You should be ashamed and embarrassed that you even wrote that. Even if you are anonymous. The fact that you think that way means you're a despicable person.

This. If teachers are going full online, then they shouldn't be collecting full pay or benefits. Part of the teachers in school responsibility is personal interaction with each child, and ensuring the kids are keeping up. You can't work a full time job from home, and also ensure a 5 year old is doing his school work accurately. We know, we tried, and for a 5 year old that couldn't focus, getting him to finish his work, while trying to do our work, is a near impossible task.

It is a completely out of touch statement in today's world of two working parent households. Great, school isn't supposed to be daycare. Now lets have a discussion that is rooted in reality.


So 2 working parents can't afford to adjust their lifestyle and make sure their kids are taken care of?

That sounds like bad personal decisions, not a school district problem.

Governor Ivey just encouraged that all school systems go back in-person as soon as it is possible.

Adjust their lifestyle but not working?

Just because you're OK being a leech doesn't mean everyone else is.

Even if it's online, they're still working. Unemployment is for people who aren't working.

Unless you think that everybody working from home right now shouldn't be collecting full pay or benefits.

2 working parents lifestyles were adjusted to have to work from home. We take care of our children. We can't teach and do our jobs effectively at the same time. Again, you have no experience or an accurate frame of reference to make your conclusions. You're just spouting stupidity.

There are these neat things called reductions in pay. They happen. Not teaching in person is a 100% justifiable reason for a reduction in pay.

Totally dependent on the field and how much of what your job is you can actually accomplish from home. I'm getting a real clear picture of how you got laid off.

A leech?

No, I collected unemployment because my company shuttered their operations permanently. I have not been able to find a job anywhere close to what I was making. The UI benefits don't come close to what I was making.

You're calling me a leech because I'm not willing to lose my UI benefits to work for minimum wage.

Quit stalking me, count.

IF all you can find is minimum wage offerings, that says a lot about you. Of course, so do all your posts on the subject. so...
