It's all so stressful.

If it's any consolation, my husband has been teaching in person since September. He was vaccinated last week. Thank God. But he's been safe for months teaching in person and taking the subway to work daily.

IF you have the proper PPE and your school has cleaning supplies and decent ventilation, please know it can be done safely.

He keeps the windows open in his classroom even in winter. It's been pretty cold in NYC but it makes a huge difference.

Good luck.

And hope you get the vaccine soon.
