Heroic Professions of the COVID Pandemic: It’s A Long List, But Teachers Aren’t On It

Original Article

The COVID nightmare in America is over. There are other countries in which the virus is still a serious concern, but not here. President Joe Biden and the rest of the leftist Democrats are thoroughly disappointed with this fact, as they slowly watch their ill-gotten grip on tyrannical power slip away, but it’s a fact, nonetheless. By virtually every metric – new cases, deaths, active cases, vaccinations – the effects of the COVID pandemic on Americans and our society are rapidly disappearing. It may be too soon to declare eradication, but it’s not too early to reflect on some of the heroism

Comments:

I have a lot of friends and relatives who are teachers, and I have the utmost respect for what they do, but they really dropped the ball during COVID.

The only upside of remote learning is that parents learned about the indoctrination that was going on in their schools. The damage done to to the students can never be undone. All of those rights of passage cannot be replaced. Lost athletic scholarship opportunities, lost parts in plays, lost senior year and graduations. There are too many to name. Fauci needs to rot in hell.

And the other useless workers this pandemic exposed, goobernment workers. Except for those that collect our garbage, fire fighters, police and EMTs, the rest wore pretty much worthless. Especially if thy happened to be elected. Hades even the legal system shut down for a while. Courts were worthless!

I think we can get past the blatant lie that teachers unions care about children. They don’t give a rat’s behind. Like most Democrats, they exploit children and use them to get what they want, or as shields to avoid criticism. And while I appreciate good nurses immensely (I work with them, have them in my family, and am married to one), the way so many shamelessly and constantly promoted themselves as “heroes” was nauseating. And the Tik-Tok dance routines didn’t help.

Parents have and had choices. They voted for these school boards and state governments. They supported the teachers unions with their votes and their pocketbooks. Karen and Kyle have a responsibility here, besides bemoaning a "lost year".

I'd hope we would distinguish between teachers who embraced this a the spring break of the century from those who fought the good fight to do the best they could and wanted to get back in school. They don't all have a choice regarding union membership by the way. I have two daughters who teach, one had it easy with my wife handling the homeschooling for our kids, while she tried to teach remote, and the other daughter I could barely talk to she was so busy doing everything on her own and was on the go from 7:00AM to 10:00 PM. Most people I know in manufacturing kept working. My very liberal next door neighbor never ventured out of the house but gladly took deliveries from the unwashed masses who kept everybody alive. How could the "important" people with portable jobs feel good about themselves hiding in their basements while droves of their neighbors had to go out and work every day to keep them provisioned? We heaped praise on the medical profession, justifiably called them heroes but I believe in part because they were the same general strata as the other important people and took the grocery store people for granted.

Many teachers are on that heroes list. Our Texas school district determined to keep schools open, and the teachers took on the dual responsibility of teaching both in person and by video to those students who elected to stay home. This was a very demanding year, but they came through and deserve our praise.

I watched my grandson’s virtual school class and it was heartbreaking. He learned nothing and was bored to death. Teachers figured out early on that they could sit on their as$es at home and make the same money for doing practically nothing. They are the biggest bunch of lazy, whining, complaining people in America. I asked a teacher once what he liked most about teaching and he said June, July, and August. Pretty much says it all right there.

They shouldn't be on it. They worked from home, if at all while collecting full paychecks while other workers were on the job or out of work.They are still complaining about going back to the classroom

My wife is a teacher, and I've heard so many meetings over her computer from other teachers who wanted to desperately to return to the classroom full time last September. The teachers who didn't want to return were for the most part teachers with less than ten experience. They liked being out and getting paid. However, it was the teacher's unions and school boards that kept the schools closed. The teachers didn't have a voice in any of it.

The list in the article showed many of the invisible people who we all take for granted but kept things running while many people were hiding in their basements. The only addition I would add to the list is home care workers. These people are often overlooked because they don't work in hospitals like the doctors and nurses, but still went out to peoples homes everyday through the pandemic. Many teachers I know wanted to be in class but state pandemic rules prevented "in-class" in many cases. The militant teacher's union leaders did the teachers and their reputations no favors with their rhetoric.

don’t forget the police who still had to deal with the public in an upclose and personal way. And the police squads who had to go to all the unattended deaths and the huge rash of suicides.

In two weeks, when Iran is scheduled to hold its presidential election, Narges Mohammadi will be staying home. One of her country’s most courageous human-rights activists, she views the upcoming vote as a sham. “The principle of absolute jurisprudence has invalidated all the principles of the Iranian constitution and reduced the power of other institutions to zero,” she told me in an WhatsApp interview from Iran. The country’s unelected supreme leader and the country’s Guardian Council, which vets presidential candidates and can overturn laws passed by Iran’s legislature, have consolidated power.

There is only one question we need to ask of the elites: Why should commoners behave as if the world is ending when the elites and power brokers do not? The earth’s temperature is changing. This is an indisputable fact, both in measuring data and using common sense. Of course it’s changing. Despite what is reported by the mainstream media, most legitimate conservatives do not question the idea of the earth’s temperature going through warming and cooling periods. For those that do, they absolutely deserve the scorn and ridicule heaped on them.

Large American cities, the vast majority of which are run entirely by Democrats, are deteriorating before our eyes; and the phenomenon is not due to the COVID pandemic. New York City is in rapid decay, reverting to its pre-Rudolph Giuliani condition as Mayor Bill DeBlasio is more concerned about wokeness and virtue-signaling than he is about effectively running the city’s government. In San Francisco and Los Angeles, homelessness is out of control, their treasuries are effectively broke, and residents have been fleeing in record numbers.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been making its way into public schools for decades. Now it has reached a tipping point, aided perhaps by the realities of Covid and the remote school board meetings and online classes. Now parents, formerly unable to attend meetings of arguably the dumbest collection of people in elected office and formerly unaware of the dumbed-down curriculum of their children, are starting to wake up and push back.

More than 21,000 people have signed a letter calling for U.S. Catholic bishops to cancel a planned vote on whether President Biden should receive communion. Biden, a Catholic, supports abortion rights and has long come under attack from some Catholics over that position. The vote is set to take place next week at a meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "Pope Francis is clear that mercy, welcome, and pastoral sensitivity should be hallmarks of the church. Follow his pastoral example and listen to your brothers Cardinal Gregory and Bishop McElroy: Stop playing partisan politics with Holy Communion and cancel your planned anti-Biden vote," the petition reads.

Yet Trump's allies on Wednesday were highlighting the study, conducted by Saint Barnabas Medical Center in New Jersey on 255 patients.

Fraudsters may have plundered as much as half of the unemployment benefits that the US pumped out in a hurry during the pandemic. Blake Hall, CEO of ID.me, a fraud prevention service, told Axios that the US has lost more than $400 billion to crooked claims. The US may have been robbed of as much as half of all money given out through unemployment benefits during the pandemic, Hall told the outlet. Haywood Talcove, the CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions, estimated that most of the stolen money, at least 70 percent, probably ended up outside the US, according to Axios.
