ecrivainsolitaire:fuegomellark:narcolepticscientist:compose-myself:softboy-punx:moonwatcher13:If your in school and reading this, refuse to go to school. Or if they force you, do a sort down strike. Refuse to go to classes. Get your friends to do the same. WEAR A FUCKING MASK.They are killing you, your friends, their families, your teachers and thousands of random people who you will end up infecting. They are sending you back knowing that you will get sick and die or get other people killed. Dont let them. Your life isnt worth it. That’s my moms school in one of those pictures. She teaches math. Let me tell you exactly how bad it is. There are between 28-33 students in all of my moms classes. The desks are all less than 2 feet away from each other, and facemasks are not required. Teachers are not allowed to tell students to wear masks. There are no temperature checks or other preventative measures being taken in an effort to keep symptomatic kids home. The school gave the teachers a “cleaning kit” which consisted of a single spray bottle of cleaning solution and a stack of brown recycled paper towels. They cant even use those cleaning kites, because it turns out that that solution is caustic, and will burn students hands if they come in contact with it. Teachers are banned from using their own money to buy normal brand sanitizers like lysol bcs they havent been approved by the fda for use within schools. The janitors are not required to sanitize the classrooms; instead the teachers are expected to do it between every class- a break of 7 minutes. Teachers are not allowed to construct any protective measures such as clear plastic shields between desks. Students are still eating their lunches in the cafeteria, a room which holds 500 students at a time.Not only are these school districts being negligent in forcing these kids back to school, they are actively working against teachers attempting to do anything to minimize the risk.There has already been on positive case at my moms school, of a student who spent two full days in class. An elementary school in another county has already had to shut down completely after an outbreak in a 2nd grade class. Schools have only been open for 3 days. These school districts are putting students, teachers, and faculty at risk of illness and death because their arrogance and pride will not allow them to admit they might be wrong. Its despicable, and I hope every one of the bastards in charge of this decision gets fired and sued, and never placed in charge of children ever againWHY?!?My GOD I can usually at least get a vague glimpse of what the other side is thinking if I can get a good enough grasp on their motivating principles, but this?!? What the FUCK can these people value so much that it’s worth actively increasing the risk to children?I know a lot of people say conservatism is a death cult, but it always seemed like hyperbole. But this is full-on Drink The Koolaid To Prove Your Devotion mass psychosis. I am reblogging this as a teacher. High-schoolers, do what you can to protest the reopening of schools. Elementary kids have virtually no options. And middle school kids have more limited vocal power. I am working for the sake of the income. But know that while I may not be able to say it vocally for fear of getting fired, I fully support your protests, sit-ins, call-outs, and “rebellious” actions to prevent others from getting sick. In my own school, I may be required to encourage students to return to class, or at least make a show of it when around the administration, but I support you all, and will do the little I can to encourage you to stand up for your rights to security and safety. This whole situation is sick. Remember how the government handled everything when you are all old enough to vote and run for public offices and even serving jury duty. how it’s being done right: here in toronto- we’re not going back to the office till next year (at the least). schools are shut down. almost everyone is wearing masks outside? our office was hospital grade cleaned and sanitized. servers, staff - everyone is wearing masks. all cutlery and food is wrapped and provided in single servings. be mindful, the last stat that i read was that in the past 3 weeks toronto had only had 5 reported cases of covid. by no means are we doing as well as we should be. but at least we’re trying? Mexico here: schools are shut down indefinitely, we are going to have a mix of online and TV education. The main four OTA channels are broadcasting classes by the Department of Public Education: two do kindergarten and elementary, two do middle and high school, and they have several reruns so “everyone” can catch up. Where TV, internet or electricity are not viable options, the teachers are made to go to those students’ homes and give them assignments for the week. The system is very flawed, not accounting for non-Spanish speakers and children with special needs, and some people (myself included) heavily object to those gaps being ignored, but overall, it’s miles ahead of the US approach. Some people are even spreading misinformation about how wrong our system is because supposedly Americans gave tablets to all children so they could study at home. If they could speak English they would be outraged at what I see. -- source link
