More than a month into the new school year, it is already evident that in-person school instruction is not causing mass outbreaks of the coronavirus.
Researchers at Brown University have found extremely low levels of infection among students and teachers. To be specific, the rate of suspected and confirmed student infections is just 0.21%. (The rate of confirmed infections is one third of that.) Among teachers and staff, the infection rate is 0.51%. It appears that, thanks in part to schools’ precautions -- social distancing guidelines, improved ventilation systems, mask mandates, etc. -- one has significantly less risk of contracting COVID-19

It's a cancerous infection worse than the deep state in the federal and state governments. It's not just the unions. It's the superintendents and principles and vice principles along with a huge population of the teachers. The Chicom virus is merely another foil they've brandished as a sword to obtain more and more power to brainwash kids.

The Little Rock teachers union, which has been decertified by the State, got all puffed up yesterday over "virus safety" and, as of last night, were only going to teach remotely henceforth. After sixty or so received notices of disciplinary action last night, they announced they'll all be smiling in in-person classes today, according to our local rag.

Well, go ahead, teachers. See how long you survive on nothing. Your part-time rioting jobs only pay so much.

It's hard to say which professional groups have lost the most respect during the covid response. Teachers who refuse to do their job regardless of staggering scientific data on the lack of danger to the students. The CDC, who I used to allow to advise me on things like vaccines.
But in my case the biggest loser in the respect plunge has been the medical doctors that I know personally. They prioritized their professional standing among their colleagues (and perceived possible threats from licensing boards), over their patients' health by regurgitating CDC political tripe regarding Hydroxychloroquine.
I have come to realize that doctors are being trained to memorize and follow protocol, and above all protect themselves. They have been given virtually no training in reasoning or problem solving. The few who were capable of that have gone into research....and they have been compromised by the chase for grant money.

Two thirds of your property tax bill goes to these reprobates. We need a tax revolt. Teachers are the biggest bunch of whining, complaining, lazy people anywhere. Get together with a group of them and the talk is never about educating students. It’s always about how to do less for more pay. Never forget their motto. “ The three best reasons to become a teacher, June, July and August.”

The counter-revolution to save our schools has to start somewhere.

Teachers' unions will automatically go along with democrat causes because their existence depends on it and they supply the dims with a ton of votes. Ever heard of a pro-Republican Teachers' union? It's all on page 27 of the Pay-to-Play book.

Wonder how the infection rates for things like Impetigo are in the schools? Forcing kids to wear masks and breathe in their own germs along with all the other germs from the other kids is child abuse at its finest IMO.

As long as we blame the people of (name a state) for voting the way they do, and should suffer for it, we can say the teachers deserve the union they voted for.

A retired teacher friend of mine reminded me that she didn't ''teach school for 30 years" but that she had taught first grade 30 times! Then she told me to contemplate the difference. I'm still contemplating.

Shut the money faucet OFF. You are not doing your job - you don't get paid - period. What a revolutionary concept !!
That also STOPS the money going to the unions - watch them start howling and then watch the whining etc. change OVERNIGHT !!
This is absurd that we have to continue to pay these people for NOTHING until they get comfortable and feel safe and warm.
Disgusting
