On Saturday, Jan. 16 at the offices of the Atlanta School Board, members of the Atlanta Association of Educators protest the scheduled reopening of Atlanta Public Schools .
As a teacher, I’m glad my district offered F2F instruction. I understand the risks, but I also understand the risks to my students’ mental and physical well-being if they are not at school. Not all children are fortunate enough to have households that are able to support their educations in a virtual world. Not all students live in homes where they are safe and/or nurtured. There is so much more to school than just academic teaching. I pray that educators remain healthy, but I also pray for the students entrusted in our care.
Make it make sense. Any other teachers say this daily about district and state decision making?
