Oh man you face’d me, grandpa!  Yeah, I caught the fake disease the media made so they could scare FS.

If it wasn't for the media you would have just thought you had the flu. Probably wouldn't have even given it a second thought. Hope you enjoyed sweating your oversized balls off in your garage.

The buy in is at a cost. As is teachers get little support financially to maintain classroom supplies, it comes from their post tax salaries and there are no write offs.

So what makes you think the school districts, that have already sunk years of budgets on laptops for students to work at home, will keep and maintain cleanliness standards they hadn't met in the past? They are going to make teachers janitors of their own rooms spending an inordinate amount of time scrubbing everything from desks, chairs, tables, right down to each pencil handed out. 

Then just think for one second how you are going to get children, the little social beasts, to act like robots and not congregate, not touch one another, not rub their snotty noses and then touch everything in sight, how do you control an infection breeding ground?

It's pretty easy to shit on the teachers union, my wife doesn't like them either and she's been teaching for over 20 years. But in this case they are the only thing between tens of thousands of employees and a State that can't even administer vaccines or have a functionally consistent policy in this pandemic that actually has had any real impact on prevention of spread. 

One teacher in a room of 30 uncontrolled subjects that have no consistent protocols at home. Until vaccinated I don't think a single teacher should be demanded to work under those circumstances. 

We have been told that this is exactly what we will be doing a couple of times per day. We go back to our building on the first. I'll only have half of my room, but we cannot have any community supplies. The laptops have all been checked out to the neediest families, which means finding a new way to do my quizzes, at least for my in-person kids. On the plus side, I did get the first dose of the vaccine yesterday and have had no ill effects so far.

Once vaccinated then the risk is mitigated. Until then the teachers have no reason to risk their lives for test scores.

How about a good education?

[Blarg]

Again, it's not your life on the line so your kids get a better education. You should treat teachers with more respect.

I am pretty sure I do, unless disagreement is disrespectful

Construction workers have a higher risk of catching Covid-19 than teachers. Their union reps are just being assholes per usual.

I'm glad to see Blarg sticking up for teachers.

California needs to be broken up into about 4 or 5 states. The amount of bureaucracy that clogs up this place is beyond hopeless.

Add in a high level of incompetence to those bureaucracies and it just adds to the excitement

They need to be their own country and separate from the rest of the states. 

The libs will have a field day while they continue to destroy the state.

I don't think the rest of the country would like it very much for very long. The California economy is powerful and helps fuel other states.
