Dear ‘Teachers are the root of all evil and must be blamed for everything bad’ trolls,

Let’s clear some things up, shall we?

1. We are not responsible for PH measures. We simply follow them like the majority of the rest of the province/country/world. 1/ We are, however, responsible for all the children in our care as well as ourselves, which can make it scary for us. That’s a lot of bodies to keep safe, especially in a pandemic.
2. We do not set Board or Ministry policy. That is done by the elected officials and senior admin. 2/

Dear trolls,

Teachers need you to shut up and really HEAR what we are saying:

We *want* to go back. There is no debate about that. We prefer to see the whites of our students’ eyes than the online garbage we did in the spring.

BUT

We want it to be safe - for us but also for our students. Many of whom are our children as well. Our families’ safety is also important. That means proper cleaning protocols, which will require more custodians. It means PPE.
