Fact is, one can only guess where they were exposed.

Very true because we as a nation are still lagging with testing and tracing.

don't think you've posted your acceptable number...
doesn't matter, no one is going to find any number acceptable no matter how many times you try to
bait and goad.

Life has risks, nurses didn’t strike when they had to face Covid head on.

The risk is very low, almost zero unless you are older, and they could make exceptions for older teachers right now.

We dont have enough teachers as it is. Packing children into even more crowded classrooms is going to increase the spread, decrease education, and very likely lead to some children taking it home to parents and other relatives.

The same number as in any other profession. You do the math.

Or are you claiming now teachers are a protected species and are entitled to more "protection" than health care workers/police/soldiers/Smithfield employees/McDonald's staff - to name just a few - ?!?

We have taken measures to protect those other professionals in as many ways practical for those professions when it comes to coronavirus. Unnecessary personnel are not allowed on bases without business purpose involved. Cannot have extra people (visitors) in hospitals. Social distancing is expected to be maintained to the highest degree possible within these professions. Military personnel have been ordered to wear face masks in uniform with only a few exceptions allowed.

You do what can be done to the best extent practical given circumstances. It is why many government IT workers are working from home, even now, because they can do their job from home. Eventhough some other workers within the same organization cannot, so they have to go into work.

I injected my opinion. Excuse the **** out of me.

Notice you never did get the answer to your stupid question.

Don't know about your schools but, here they are practicing social distancing with masks for the few chidden who are actually in school. Most of the in-school teaching is also on video.

But the recommendation is all students and teachers go back to school fully in person. That is the part that would cause problems, what is being discussed.

My kids are at home, all online, because our district is within the second most populated county in our state. Most other districts in our state have gone to phase B. We can't yet. But when we do, it will be hybrid.

I have my own classroom/office setup in my bedroom.
