Asked my principal today what contingencies were in place for outbreaks. The basic answer was that the district just wants us to power through it; no virtual school even considered. I'm at a middle/high school in a terribly unvaccinated county. We, thankfully, do have a mask mandate but that's about it. We'll have seventy more kids than we did two years ago. open biden; praise number

I’m vaccinated but I read their whole instructions at the time because it had just changed. Captain Magic fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Aug 17, 2021 |

Nocturtle posted:Question for any school teacher and administrators! I teach in a public school in MO and no one is annoyed if kids don’t come. Just please try to make sure they’re not morons when they get back. Your school should hopefully have some kind of homeschooling counselor, so conference with them and just try to stay current on the curriculum.

I respect that you think you’re being transparent in your malingering, but your school has ([amount of students]x5) problems about to happen. As long as you are kind or at least polite, they will not reflect much on you parenting your kid.

Is this new news to people? It was new to me. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/british-study-shows-covid-19-vaccine-efficacy-wanes-under-delta-2021-08-18/ Based on more than three million nose and throat swabs taken across Britain, the Oxford University study found that 90 days after a second shot of the Pfizer or Astrazeneca vaccine, their efficacy in preventing infections had slipped to 75% and 61% respectively.

two fellow teachers and I freaked out in the parking lot after work today; sucks to freak out but we felt relieved that someone else actually seemed to be paying attention. we have had fully virtual remote PD (professional development) meetings all week but we’re supposed to see (masked) kids on Monday. why is it safer to meet each other virtually but not the children? Jfc. oh and there is brand new curriculum to “make up for lost time” so we can’t use many previous lessons from years prior lol. group work is a mandatory part of the curriculum. I will have six units when I normally teach four. tbh a lot of it sounds great, but for a year that isn’t going to be full of infectious disease outbreaks. anyway I sold the other teachers both on getting KN95s and maybe an air purifier/cleaner of some kind, so that’s a win. We are talking about quitting. I’m not sure where to draw my line for quitting tbh. should probably figure that out. Pretty much every teacher I know has it baked in to make the best of a bad situation; we are born suckers for more work.

inferis posted:if you are already considering quitting you might as well try organizing some kind of collective action if your other teachers feel similarly You are correct; one reason I am not quitting is because I’m in a pretty good union. Honestly the president has been suspiciously silent; I’ve been so worked up with getting class ready I haven’t quite noticed. I should find out wtf they’re doing. I think a lot of people are thinking the mask mandate our SD has will save us. It is good but it is not enough.

don’t know who did it, but someone here posted the Death Panel pod, specifically the one blasting Emily Oster. Thank you. It is such a loving relief to hear people talk out loud in intelligent ways about the massive crisis we are in. Makes me feel a lot less crazy. You guys here are good too, but there’s also a lot of black humor(/prophecy) that is sometimes difficult to digest in large volumes and there are always a dozen new pages to this thread. please keep it up though; I am just weak

I have about 80 students this semester across five classes (8th grade) and I think i have seen only sixty-five of them so far due to either bus problems because they can’t get drivers or covid. pretty cool, we don’t get money for attendance or anything, sounds cool and sustainable

Hard to know how to track it all, but I found a tool that says my school district, open for one week, has had 80 cases in the last two weeks. we have 17500 students. the city’s district has 150 cases; our hick capital city has 98. We are wearing masks by mandate; I can’t imagine hick city is.

first teacher is out today, don’t know from what but she’s an old hand so it’s not like she’s taking a personal day on the eighth day of the school year we had to have dept. meetings in the same room; not virtual. we have a mask mandate but this is stupid; it’s more contacts and dumbass teachers move their masks TJ talk constantly. I was deeply mad and protested and was talked over, basically. one of the teachers wore a plastic shield over her loving nose. in the room behind me for a loving hour and a half. the principal, present, exclaimed that while visiting Mississippi this weekend she couldn’t understand why they didn’t wear masks. MAGICAL THINKING JFC AGHHHHHHH THE VIRUS IS NOT WORKING ON YOUR TERMS

goddamn, just catching up. so if I got the shot in April, two doses of Pfizer, I should be actively searching out some Moderna booster, right? Especially because I’m a teacher. do you just call CVS and ask which poo poo they have?

when I go for a booster, is it better to lie about it being my first shot or lie about being immunocompromised? the former makes me seem like an rear end in a top hat but the latter seems harder to actually back up and I look like an rear end in a top hat anyway

McNugget Buddy posted:Don't go to a pharmacy if you might have COVID, jesus christ good point; thank you for mentioning that. I wear my mask up constantly at school, and try to ensure everyone in my classes do, but you’re right that there is exposure. I have been doing the OTC rapid testing on Fridays so I’ll see what that says tomorrow.

tested negative, so I went and got myself a Walmart moderna booster today on top of my full Pfizer regimen. They kept asking for stuff—insurance, id, social—and I kept saying I didn’t have it or know it and I kept expecting them to tell me to gently caress off. anyway they didn’t, and as someone in recovery this is the most I’ve lied to someone’s face in over ten years. Did NOT enjoy that but now I am immortal so w/e

my school does all these mitigation strategies and then the principal wants us to do dept meetings in the same room on the same day, just four ninety minute cycles of every teacher in the school sharing air, and it’s like why are we bothering with any mitigation if the staff will just share all the exposure to everyone plus there is the teacher who wears a loving face shield like a loving ball cap with the poo poo just sticking straight up, wtf, no mask, holy poo poo, what is your deal I’m mad
