State official: Yes! We have gone from “unchecked spread” to “escalating spread,” What a success story! Yahoo!
School employees: …. Um…. okay, but it will be okay because employees will all get the vaccine before the schools open though, right?

School employees: Alright, then that must mean that in the year we have been closed, new HVAC systems have been installed to reduce the risk of catching an airborne virus, …. Right?

State Officials: Nope! (Not unless you had a bake sale to pay for it. Haha!)
School Employees: Okay, well surely at least enough N95 respirator masks have been acquired for everyone that spends time in a public school building.

State officials: Nope! But remember that mask drive where the kids crafted homemade masks with the scraps from their grandma’s sewing baskets? Wear those! (Better wear two.)
SE: Wow. Geez. Will we have access to some kind of affordable health care in case we get sick?

State officials: Sure! You have the health plan you’ve always had!
School employees: You mean the one that has a $6500 deductible? The one we pay $12000 in premiums for? That one?

State officials: That's the one! But try not to miss too much work if you do get sick or you could be terminated and lose it. Stay safe! Maintain 6 feet of social distance! (when feasible).
Public: IF YOU’RE TOO SCARED TO DO YOUR JOB, THEN QUIT AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT!

School employees: Really? Who?...

School employees: But what about the mandatory lockdown drills where we pile the kids up in a closet and bar the door armed with a stapler and a three-hole-punch to fight off an armed intruder? How can we maintain social distance during that; or any kind of drill?

Public and State officials: We actually don’t care about the “education” portion of what you do as much as we value the “warehousing” and “babysitting” portion of what you do. (But we reserve the right to criticize how you do the “education” portion too, of course!)
