Covid-19 in schoolchildren – A comparison between Finland and Sweden
quote:
In the contact tracings in primary schools in Finland, there has been hardly any evidence of children infecting other persons. The Swedish comparison of number of reported cases among staff in day care and primary school to number of cases in other professions does not show any increased risk for teachers.

We are being governed by fear. Fear of this virus, but much more likely fear of being sued because of this virus

Because the alternative is no teachers at schools and people can't go to work or have to pay 5 days a week of child care. It isn't fair, but if you want kids to go back to school, this is a way to do it.
I got news for you, the difference between my kids being home 3 days a week, or 5 days a week, makes no difference at all to me. They are both stupid and cause myself and my wife to make serious adjustments to our working schedule.
Them being home 0 days a week, compared to 3 days a week being home, is huge.
Either go to school, or don't go. and the correct decision is to go to fricking school 5 god damn days a week, just like they are doing every where else on the fricking planet b/c this cold does nothing to children. I could give two shits if teachers are scared of it. If you're scared, quit your job. What if every doctor/nurse/receptionist/person that work in an office/human beings in general that aren't hermits, decided they didn't want to work b/c they were scared of catching this?

Agreed. I keep seeing teachers screeching about "the science".
The science is clear. Children very rarely, if ever, transmit COVID to teachers and staff.
The screeching is not about science, it is about (irrational) fear.

The amount of people that vilify and demean our teachers is staggering to me. It's funny that you see people claim we have a lot of bad teachers, when even the worst of teachers in 2020 are way more equipped and educated than what we had just 50-70 years ago, albeit handcuffed in their ability to discipline kids these days.
Speaking to an older relative of mine that was a school teacher for most of her life, she claimed that you only needed a few weeks (4) of training to get certified to teach. I forget the time period, but assume she was talking about somewhere leading up to the 1950s.

Hmmm. Shall we compare US demographics to Sweden, Finland, etc?

Why would demographics impact this virus in school age children and the transmission from them?

Study from multiple Asian and European countries:
Role of children in the transmission of the COVID-19 pandemic: a rapid scoping review
Study from France:

There's more, but I am wasting my time.

And for everyone else going through the exact same predicament?
Key difference -- EBR teachers work for the EBRPSS, so it's in the interest of EBRPSS to take care of its employees.
Why should EBRPSS be in the business of solving child care issues for people that don't work there? Do they have to solve your child care problems when they aren't in session (like...the summer)?
Besides, if you actually read the blueprint -- they are re-evaluating the mix of virtual / in-person every two weeks. If the state moves into phase 3, they will accelerate to more in-person time, starting with K-2 children first.

I taught at a few schools in EBR, and I bet money that absolutely no online learning gets done on those virtual learning days.

Because the tax payers pay them to teach and care for their children M-F during the school year.

No they don't... they don't get paid to do that and nobody is asking them to do so... nice red herring though.

quote:You do know most teachers work at least 6 days a week and do work at night doing lesson plans, grading assignments, and emailing parents? Now these teachers have to track down all these students on virtual learning days, because they won’t do the work.
teachers only get paid for 4 days of work too?
When I taught in EBR, my students didn’t have textbooks or workbooks so I had to spend 7 days a week creating worksheets, running off copies, and creating lesson plans from scratch. I also had curriculum meetings every day during my planning period. Not sure why anyone thinks teachers only work during the school day.

Teachers will be teaching 5 days a week.
I’m not sure what you mean by “care for” but that’s not really what kids go to school for.

I’ll add this -
If anyone has school aged children and hasn’t even remotely begun considering how to manage the possibility of remote learning in 3 weeks, then shame on you. Kids haven’t been in schools since March 13th, so you’ve had 4 months to think about this. It’s not EBRs job to solve this for you. My employer isn’t going to solve it for me either.

What? How is teachers not having to pay for additional child care while everyone else does just appearing to be unfair as opposed to actually being unfair?

I, for one, would rather the teachers have the chance to stay in the classroom rather than them missing 2-3 days per week because of child care issues. But, if this is the hill people want to die on...good on them.
