I'm a teacher in Florida being forced to choose between risking my life or losing my livelihood

which it's not; that the US cases are going down significantly, which they're not; the vaccine is coming soon, which it's not; and that the virus will go away, which it isn't. , I believe, underlies the schooling situation in Flagler County. Although the numbers keep rising in the state of Florida, DeSantis will not mandate statewide requirements to wear masks.But DeSantis, like Trump, and like many Flagler County commissioners, doesn't have to enter the classroom.

Sure, the pandemic might disrupt a child's learning, but so does having a parent die from the disease. There was an option for teachers to stay at home until the end of December, but we'd only receive 66% of our paychecks; with such a reduction, I wouldn't be able to afford my health insurance. I'm also getting my doctorate in education now, and have to continue paying off my student loans.

I can't help but think that even the NBA, MLB, and NFL, for whom some of the richest people in country work for, are having trouble keeping their millionaires safe. What then, is left for the middle or lower classes? The poor, the Blacks, and the Latinos, who are already so disenfranchised in this country?

We all take risks. It’s a part of life. Covid isn’t anymore risk than any other.

Another teacher who’s lived their life in a protective bubble that’s unable to make a decision on her own or provide any solutions. So what are you going to do, Sis

What if health workers, law enforcement, retail workers, food manufacturers had this same attitude? If teachers can shop at Walmart, they can teach in-person with a mask on...

ITS PUBLIC FUNDS NOT RICH PEOPLE FUNDS.

FLORIDA GOT PLENTY MONEY IN GOVERNMENT

LISTEN THEM KKK'S ARE DONE. TRUMP IS DONE FEDERALLY.

Thus far, Worldwide, there is not a single case of a pupil passing on COVID-19 to a teacher. There’s more danger in the journey travelling to and from school. Give the kids their education back.

Wear the mask you don’t have on right now, and wash your hands. Don’t listen to fear mongers. You and Dad will be fine. Really, you will.

Hard decisions to make for hundreds of thousands of people, essential workers, medical personnel, teachers. Each individual can only choose to do what’s best for them.

Teachers are respected and treated as valuable professionals in other westernized countries

Such BS. Reading the Dem talking points. Wonder if she was ok with the protests?

I’m confused, so do we owe you something? I’m sure there are 100’s of thousands of folks just like her who will figure it out. Life is filled with choices and sometimes those choices are difficult, but the beauty of this country is you pick up and start again.

Is she a Drama Teacher?

Yes, make a choice and move on... it’s the new norm for millions of people.

This lady doesn’t seem to have any underlying conditions that put her in a high risk category, so she must know her risk of contracting it are very slim, becoming ill even slimmer or dying are less than the chance of her being knocked down by a car Go to school. Teach. Live

I mean I guess we can pay u not to work

Tell that to the people who have stocked your grocery shelves, delivered your packages and food, and kept everything running while you were on vacation. What makes you more special than them?

These people had no problem with essential workers back in April 🤔

KateWilliamsme suggests to be an English Teacher her.

walmart employees been doing that for 6 months!

Wear a mask like at the grocery store....
