My youngest just graduated from college in May, so I don’t have kids going back to school this year. But I’m a middle school Language Arts teacher. Teacher Work Week starts on Aug 16th. I’ve been on short term disability since Feb 25th fighting a bone infection around my artificial knee joint. After 3 hospitalizations and 2 surgeries, I’ll be glad to have my recovery behind me and get my life back to normal. On the other hand, I am not looking forward to the daily grind of school.
I work at a small Catholic school. We were able to teach face to face classes with masks, 6ft distancing, daily temp taking, and extra cleaning all last year. The diocese just put out a statement saying this year masks will not be required, temps will not be taken and distancing will be shortened to 3ft. They have lost their minds!!! Most of our teachers are vaccinated (I am) but some aren’t. We all have to be stuck in classrooms with packs of unvaccinated maskless children!!! The very same day as the diocesan announcement, the American Academy of Pediatrics said masks should be required for all school kids while in school. And a couple of days after that the CDC changed their recommendation stating that all vaccinated people should wear masks indoors in areas of high covid/delta variant transmission. The diocese totally jumped the gun and now looks incompetent. Argggg!
