5. What teachers are and have been expected

To deal with through this ridiculous. Hours more work, being exposed as you said to terrible people who don’t give a damn about exposing you to covid with parties etc. I don’t envy you having to deal with all of that and that particular age group as well.

Tg I have been teaching only online since last year and will continue. My students did expose me to my first covid pneumonia early on in this though. One came to the last in person day, walked up to me, said he didn’t feel well and I told him to leave immediately. Then he mentioned later in an online setting that his family members had covid and he wasn’t quarantining. Several others were ill with probable covid directly after online teaching started. One with confirmed covid and hospitalization.

From now on, we will always have a big storage of kn95, sanitizer etc. I will never listen to any recommendations not to mask which was criminal and I will cancel any in person teaching as soon as there is any sign of something similar. I will do what I need to to protect myself and my family etc.

I hope you have a good rest and treat yourself well.
