Elementary School Teacher Retires Over Virus Concerns | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
How much longer are people going to accept idiotic decisions that endangers, actually kills
@Cool Beans your nuts, ……anyone with internet capabilities and a 90+ I.Q. can figure out what the lies are and whats the truth….THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS TO FACT CHECK, so relying on TEE VEE is for idiots like you who only watch what fits your opinions and NOT TRUTH…………..now go blame the HIllary for killing 5 in benghazi when we have 165k DEAD
We no longer need brick and mortar schools. All school should be online. One teacher could give lessons to millions of students. No more expensive school lunches, no more bussing, safety and comfort of a childs own home. You can disagree but its going to happen. The cost will be reduced by trillions upon trillions of dollars.
@J the only person you are allowed to support is vlad.
@Lurking Grue Vlad? Rehab Hunter is all over him yeah.
How much longer will we let Democrats shut down the economy and abuse children in order to crash the economy and win an election?
Trump called his wall a national emergency but the health of our children is up to teachers

Teachers aren’t getting a say on the coronavirus. That’s unfortunately up to the Board of education, private schools and other schools.
Children are dying from abuse that might have been caught by a teacher in school.
@Jeff Gibson teachers are doing a job of teaching not raising children or keeping them safe from a virus
I love being a teacher and look forward to the day I get to go back to school. From March till mid-June, we did online teaching, spent part of the summer learning new methods of online strategies, and my district put together a workable hybrid model for fall.
. The relationship between students and teachers is paramount and CANNOT survive pure online teaching long-term. Technology is only a piece of the puzzle. 🍎🍎🍎
Asking kids and teachers to risk their lives……….? I ASK WHY? IF we had proper leadership FROM THE TOP AND A NATIONAL ROLL OUT BACK IN FEB………..we would be leading the WORLD instead of DEAD last….and I mean 💀DEAD💀

That is soo wimpy. Why don’t you just take care of yourself and quit whimpering.
@Jeff Gibson Why cant trump do his job he was sworn in to do so we wont complain and die? 🤷🏾
Jeff Gibson … because REAL PATRIOTS CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER. That’s why people who really care bout America care about Americans.
@BookGirl NYS 50% of the Americans who died were prohibited by democrats from trying the $22 HCQ “cocktail”. You dems made it socially unacceptable to save your own lives with hydroxychloroquine. Just like you made it socially unacceptable for a girl to protect her own life by carrying a gun. You killed them.
Didn’t Trump say that they will protect the vulnerable?
Did he just mean himself?
Yep. Just himself.
Kids are least vulnerable.. Mind blowing huh? Don’t worry I already know – if it’s not on CNN’s it’s a lie so none of the real numbers are accurate.
@J They are still vulnerable to this disease. Teachers are vulnerable to this disease. The kids’s parents and grandparents and siblings and uncles. Stop being closed minded and think about contact tracing. Many kids can still get the virus and spread it and many kids are going to die and that is a sacrifice Trump is willing to take.
J then explain why by brother died from Covid
………that is a stupid comment because everyone knows what obama and george washington have in common: they both had spies!
Google: “Cross Fire Hurricane” Yes. Google it stupid.
Its a fake Pandemic!

There will be a national teachers strike soon. Sooner the better.
I hope, I hope, I hope.
They don’t care about them kids. Please cut the crap
Dave Schultz …Prove to me that I and my colleagues have done nothing. I drove to my students’ houses and did lessons on the sidewalk with my seventh graders, in addition to online.
Sound Mind Yes we do! Don’t lie.
BookGirl NYS I cannot tell. Y’all union too political. Y’all asking for things ain’t got nothing to do with teaching. I respect the older teachers that aren’t returning. Makes sense to me, but what about the young ones? I
Pro Life response to children dying from Covid? “It is what it is.”
@Dave Schultz You do realize there are still children suffering in hospitals. Struggling.
⚠️ Don’t respond to “Dave Schultz”.
He/she/it – is just a troll, out here just sowing discord on every comment thread, multiple times.
Ignore, and move on.
Far more babies die through abortion than humans have from this little flu bug.
⚠️ Don’t respond to “Fizzgig “.
He’s a troll with no background knowlege or statistics to back up delusional claims. His claims and talking points can put people in danger so beware.
@Dave Schultz just because youre a childless incel troll you cant have empathy for kids? BTW Dan Maloney would like to return your teeth.
My Governor Cuomo no matter what you think of him he has done more for the state of New York than Trump has done for the entire country combined
If Trump was governor we would still be where we were in March.
@rosalind ganymede I strongly believe that New York should be its own country
and trump and his cronies are being tested every day for this “hoax”
and anyone coming into contact are being tested first…..strange thing to do for a “plandemic hoax”

Tucker Carlson …When Trump spoke at Mt. Rushmore, we could not help but note how poorly he compares to these four presidents. What do those four have in common? 1. They were great READERS and WRITERS, and 2. They insisted on having strong, opinionated men of DIVERSE OPINIONS.
It’s a wonder Trump wasn’t struck by lightning on that day. When was the last time he read a serious book of history cover-to-cover? Is that so much to ask of a president?
This should matter to anyone claiming to be a patriot.
They should all go to the Rose Garden for open air school. Then they will all get tested for being close to Trump.
We have a shortage of teachers so stop saying she should have retired years ago. There are people who like to work no matter what age they are. Become a teacher and improve children’s life rather than complain.
Yeah aight
Sorry, but you can’t blame her. Good for you.
She is making a great point. Just have online learning for the remaining school year.
No school, no Money.
@Jeff Gibson well we all know you can’t take the money from the school BUT, I’m fine with no school no money. Just close the schools down.
I used to be in the teaching field now retired. Seeing these students in this unsure and unsafe environment distresses me. I would not want to be in it again.
@BoximusPrime 10 You have no evidence.

Took like 2 minutes. You’re just lazy or in denial
@BoximusPrime 10 If it IS possible for children to spread it to parents, the parents are only 30 years old! And 30 year old parents are equally immune. Give it up, crybaby.
@Jeff Gibson oh you changed your opinion, cool
@Jeff Gibson And if you don’t know that they can be a spreader, you are too stupid to be alive.
Of course she would’ve been still teaching because she would’ve been in a safe environment which is only right
We live in a world of online conference calls, and online schooling. Why would you ever ask teachers and children to risk their lives during a pandemic, absolutely absurd to do so! And if anyone say, ‘well not everyone cannot participate in online schooling.’, maybe the government should focus on making sure every student *can* participate safely from home.
couldn’t get me to send anyone to an american school.. not even my enemies
“Pro Life” Republicans response to 100000s dying from Covid19 “It is what it is.” Should start calling them the Pro-lie party….
Most of the teachers here in the US are already past retirement age and have been for the last 15 years. Teachers don’t make enough so people have not been going into that profession. The last few presidents put together incentives to help people become teachers but Trump has used ‘executive orders’ to close those programs. Children can and will get this virus. Children will die from this virus. Teachers, parents and grandparents will die in greater numbers now that schools are re-opening.
If we were being drafted to war, I wonder if Trump would claim the recruits were immune to bullets.
