    Default To my fellow teachers

    I hope your year goes well. In the district I teach in the teachers have been back in for 2 weeks now, and the overall fear of the virus and death has subsided some. Our virtual class sizes have grown, and our traditional class sizes have stayed the same, 43 students in virtual class and 28 in person.

    Have a great year!

    This is our first week back with students. Your situation sounds very similar to ours. I hope you all stay safe and healthy this year as you endeavor to bring education to the amazing kids. Have a great year.

    I start next week. A frequent-testing, mask-wearing, hope-the-students-behave semester.

    As a parent. I want to thank all the teachers out there.

    It takes intelligence, patience, creativity, and a HUGE HEART to stick it out there with and for the kids. And then the pandemic on top of that!

    Salute!

    I start in 10 days, and am teaching all my classes in the library this year (for the additional space required). Here we go!

    I’d feel more confident about the school year if our schools were less overcrowded. I work in a building designed for 2500 which has double that number of people in it. Plus students eating in classrooms? If not malice, idiocy.

    I simply offer my thanks and heartfelt gratitude for anyone teaching and *especially* non-virtually. I don't have children but I am so very afraid for everyone involved in actual classroom teaching - please be absolutely safe, and please don't hesitate to walk if your well-being and/or that of the students is compromised in any way. We need you, and education is not a sacrificial altar.

    Take care, and thanks.

    I deeply appreciate what you do, teachers. I worry for you, also. Stay as safe as you can.
