A friend of mine & her husband are WFH until 2021. After telling me there was no way her office could social distance, wear masks, etc, she then went on to tell me how her kids *needed* to go back to school so they could get their work done. 1/ https://twitter.com/KDKA/status/1290082455035064321

I asked "so if adults can't do it, you want teachers to make children do it?" Her response? "Oh. Well. No not like that. I get it, you're a teacher. But that's different. You'll be fine. And that's your job." Job. Career. Vocation. Not life. 2/

I don't know what the answer is. I want to be back. I want students to socialize and to collaborate. But it is concerning how quick we are to look to students & teachers to being the guinea pigs. And true, I'll probably be ok. But my concern is for others. They may not be. 3/

This is NOT an easy time for leaders, administrators, and teachers. They need your understanding, grace, and positive thoughts now more than ever. We continue to say these are "unprecedented times," yet expect some things to operate like business as usual- be mindful of this 4/4
