There's so much dumb shit I don't even know where to start with this one. For f*cks sake.
Let's see:
1. The thought that teachers are some how in closer proximity to other people longer than every other essential industry is just ignorant and untrue. I'm not even going to waste my time listing the countless examples. Just assume everything in your life this very second affording you comfort, electric, food, heat, transportation, internet, starbucks, depends on low income individuals without any of the considerations.
2. Be easier to hire emergency teachers without the stupid archaic unions.
3. Like I said, every industry and business is facing equal or greater issues woth developing policy, safety protocols, acquiring ppe and sanitation, working around health guidelines, and spending a shit ton to do it. Why? Because they go out of business if they don't. If teachers don't they get paid to sit at home. So piss off with the woe is me bs. They created this issue.
4. More money? Umm they just crammed a 9% tax hike through in Louisville a few weeks ago that should hold you over for a bit. Nowhere has our overlord said anything about needing funding to make schools safe.
If we're being honest, and you did this, not me. I was trying to stay cordial. Teachers on the whole are very niave group and out of touch with real world issues. Mainly because they're protected by dumb government rules and on top of that a government union. See their arguments about pensions and then this unsubstantiated nonsense you've been rambling about. They're short on teachers because dumb retirement rules and gaming pensions allowed nearly 20% to bail when this happened. In March, when things were actually terrifying, all essential workers were told to either report to work and suck it up or no pay but not teachers.
There are risks, yes, but they're no greater than any other industry. This is proven. I can post 10+ articles on it right now. They're catching heat because in an effort to bitch about their safety they're putting at risk kids in real danger and our kids are falling behind. Meanwhile, these kids parents are pissed because they've been getting up and carrying a lunch pale to work everday. Why a teacher hasn't been considered essential is ridiculous bordering a civil rights crime.
The reason we're not in school is because unions are making power plays and democrats couldn't afford to piss them off in an election year. Also, Trump supported schools and rather than doing what's right democrats maliciously took the stance anything orange man says is bad.
What a selfish, uninformed, and shallow take, but not surprising from this group.
