Teachers basically treating the prospect of returning to school as Chernobyl

Date: July 15th, 2020 10:27 AM Author: '"'"'"''" They're acting like going back to school with a mask to teach is akin to being a Chernobyl liquidator and the public has bought this narrative wholesale. There is no similar public narrative for the cashiers at Walmart, Target, Safeway, etc., who are almost certainly engaged in higher risk encounters. Teachers are lionized as martyrs headed to the trenches of Verdun. Watching the public eat this up and regurgitate it with pithy Facebook memes and drawings -- without even considering the deleterious impact on elementary school aged children who cannot learn effectively with a laptop or the parents who will need to quit their jobs -- is an insane study in social media groupthink. There is no nuance. No critical thought. Any attempt to consider the social utility of school and the potential risk to childhood development is met with "WHY DO U HATE SCIENCE?!" or some other middling IQ strawman.
