"But it& #39;s much safer if you& #39;re only around kids! They don& #39;t catch/spread Covid!"
Weeelllll...
a) that& #39;s up for debate right now, source: science
b) special educators & paras ALWAYS work with another adult: ICT or small class (2+ adults), & paras in class with their kids. (1/x)

My biggest source of rage is that we& #39;re being set up as a vectors. We work with adults all day long. Then work with kids who could pick it up from us. Even if the virus only hit adults, we& #39;re going back to work with adults. (2/x)
I cannot, cannot, CANNOT be handed the responsibility of avoiding Covid somehow, when our only supposed upside ("only kids, they don& #39;t spread it" rumor) is not true for me, and then work with kids who need the most close contact support. (3/x)
How can I sleep at night if someone I share air with, even indirectly, is harmed or killed and I was the carrier that did it? I know I can& #39;t prove it& #39;s me. But my conscience can& #39;t prove it& #39;s not. (4/x)
This is true for all special ed teachers, paras, professionals who provide therapies for kids in the classroom. We& #39;re all currently trapped like this. The city is insisting we turn ourselves into biological weapons, a minefield of them: you don& #39;t know until you step on one. (5/x)
I& #39;m sure I& #39;m not the only one feeling paralyzed like this, knowing that this isn& #39;t just me, this is objectively haphazard and I might cause harm. @NYCSchools should expect me to keep fighting. When lives are on the line, not smart to make your workforce feel this trapped. (6/6)
