#1 The same as when a teacher gets the Flu?

Give them time off to recover and when they're better let them start work.

It's not like they have something dangerous to children like AIDS...

#4 Gonna be fewer subs.

More than 6,300 COVID-19 cases are linked to US colleges - as schools like Harvard opt out of in-person classes when the academic year starts but Florida will offer a mix despite surge in infections

#5 The teachers should be more worried about standardized test scores going up without them.

As for teachers getting sick they should asked the administrators of the private schools in my area that are currently full of tuition paying students for in class room teaching starting next month.

#6 Whatever schools do, more middle class and upper class parents will home school, hire tutors, and form what are currently being called “pods“ to do the same with like-minded parents of similar aged children. My first step would be to call the school to get the names of some of their substitute teachers, then if that did not prove satisfactory, see if any bright university or high school students wanted to get in in the fun.

#7 ^I'm sure there will be web companies connecting teachers with pods, TW.

#8 I thought state aid to schools was based on butts in the chairs. What happens when there are zero butts in chairs?

#14 I'd almost love to be a substitute teacher; bet I'd get shitcanned after the first day, maybe in mid-class.

#16 Why isn't the Trump Education Dept making several national curricula for K-12 available online for homeschooling? Too many broken rice bowls?
