SCARED?

No Shows at Schools?

Any teachers fired yet?

• Chicago Teachers Union members who refused to return to classrooms Monday said they’re worried about losing their jobs, but they believe that reopening schools is a greater risk.

  “We’re afraid for our lives. We don’t want to lose our jobs. The fear of losing our jobs is real. Many of us are the sole income earners in our homes,” Chicago Public Schools teacher Lori Torres said at a morning news conference. “But

  the fear of this virus is greater than that fear.”

  About 5,800 teachers and other staff members who serve preschoolers and some special education students were expected to return to classrooms on Monday, with those students due to return on Jan. 11, which would mark the first in-person classes in CPS since the coronavirus prompted a statewide shutdown of schools in March.

  CPS on Monday did not provide the number of teachers who showed up or who continued delivering lessons remotely, and has not directly responded to most questions about how the latter cases will be handled.

Of course they won't respond - because no one is holding the teachers or their reps responsible for anything. Groot won't butt heads with them because she's scared.

Anyone know what's more dangerous than a school right now? The streets:

In fact, until you hit your 40's and 50's, COVID barely shows up on the health radar. It is a killer of the elderly and the unhealthy. But teachers - supposedly the "educated" - can't read simple bar graphs.
