Yeah I think the general populace would be well served to acknowledge that this is a tough problem with significant drawbacks associated with every available solution. I don't feel too strongly about it one way or the other, and I get annoyed by those who think any solution is obviously the correct one.
100%. I am just tired of the one side who wants to keep kids at home generally not realizing that is not a viable solution to most people, and it also is generally from people who value education, but obv aren't thinking about how most people in this country actually work and live. And that teachers are being put in this horrible spot and they are some singular victim of this, as if grocery store clerks, food workers, sanitation, etc hasn't already been dealing with that sort of crap since day 1. Heck my office has been pushing for us to go back (and we have been back). No one is acting like we're some sacrificial lamb unto the alter of society (more like we can still do this from home, why are we going back? oh because you want to, I see).
On the flip side, it's rich seeing those who would rather Besty DeVoss this crap and act like they are doing a solid for students and "caring" about education, without recognizing/caring about the real dangers and concerns of faculty, staff, and well, it's not just kids who get sick too, they will carry it to others at home and to said faculty and staff. But those the breaks in this crazy fight. I feel for the parents first, kids next, then teachers, then everyone else involved in this.
