We're repeatedly told that schools have to stay open because that's important for students' mental health but whose mental health is being prioritized by Minister Whiteside? 🧵 1/?

Nor is it the Grade 6 student who texts their mom in the middle of the day to fetch them from school because they're worried about all the maskless students sitting around them in class. They are terrified of taking the variant home to their 40 year old parents.

Let's clear the misinformation.
Teachers fully understand the importance of school for children and teens and we want to teach students in classrooms, face-to-face.
What we don't want is to risk our lives in order to do our jobs. 1/

No teacher dies from a flu they caught from school. No teacher has died from being around students who have measles or mumps.
Covid-19 is not in the same category as the flu as we've been told for months so please don't tell us something different now. 2/

3/ The reason teachers, VPs & Principals have concerns about the plan is because we're the adults who actually spend time with kids in schools. We're not pontificating about the importance of schools from an air-conditioned office while relying on decades old memories of school.
This is not reflective of what was shared at the press conference or what is written in the documents. This disconnect needs to be addressed if there is going to be confidence in the return to school plan. 30 students @ 6’ bubble is 1080 sf. That’s with NO room other than the 1/3
literal necessary physical space. Add walking space, room furniture, etc and there is no possible way to distance in any room I have ever seen. If it’s expected, the plan needs to be updated to reflect that. The presser and docs stated “within cohorts the aim is no physical 2/3
Any #bced teachers with skills & talent to make a recording of these Cry Us A River @bcedplan lyrics to the tune of Cry Me a River?

About our students' well-being
Well, you can cry us a river,
cry us a river,
we've been crying far too long

You drove us, you drove us to strike for our rights,
to ensure supports weren't cut
And that there would be enough
Remember, remember all teachers lost,
You told us we’re too greedy,
Beyond your affordability

#Thread I am routinely getting emails from teachers and others in BC and elsewhere in #Canada wanting to know the details of kids returning to school here in #Denmark and how it is going. So here goes. #bced #bctf
First a refresher. The Danish government allowed daycares, nurseries, and classes up to grade five to reopen as the first phase of an economic reopening. This began Apr 15th. Kids of that age were chosen as a first cautious step due to the statistically small infection risk.
Schools faced strict mandates. Kids must be kept at mandated distances apart in class. It varies by age but in grades K-5 kids must be two meters apart when in class. School interiors must be cleaned twice everyday as is everything the kids touch immediately after use. #Denmark
