Why, given the massive increase of COVID cases in schools, are teachers being directed by @HRCE_NS to attend schools in person in order to teach virtually. Teachers at @SJAMschool and other schools have been at school this week, when students were kept home. https://twitter.com/lisarobertshfx/status/1385681160387366912

They have been needlessly potentially exposed to COVID.

They have been told to do their part and get tested, but also DIRECTED to attend a childless school before they receive their test results.

They have been exposed to a DEADLY disease.

This is irresponsible of the @HRCE_NS and @nseducation.

Dr. Strang and @IainTRankin have encouraged those who can to work from home where possible. Why does this not apply to teachers who are teaching virtually?

Why are they not given the professional autonomy to teach virtually from home?

Teachers have been on the front lines of this pandemic. They have been entrusted with keeping our schools, and our kids safe.

They have been thanked and praised by our political leaders.

Teachers are asking....no pleading...for help. Help keep us safe. Help US keep your children safe.

Please @nseducation give teachers the permission to work from home when teaching virtually. Help teachers help keep our schools, kids and communities safe.
