The Faculty Perspective
Both of my parents are teachers, one working as a fourth grade teaching assistant and the other an eighth grade math teacher/soccer coach. Though I have left home, and started my first semester of college, I have heard their rants, their grievances, and complaints regarding the ways in which the school system is "taking care" of their faculty. My mother and father are both paranoid about the coronavirus, rightfully so, however they were told they must return to the classroom to teach students in person. While there are rules and restrictions in order to carry out this plan safely, there is only so much they can do. Take my mother's fourth graders for example, they don't understand the concept of a pandemic or the need to socially distance. She must enforce rules upon these kids that they don't see as necessary and, more often than not, choose not to follow. This makes my mother, and teachers in general, feel as though their safety is not a priority and as if they are not being thought of by the school's administration. The same can be said for my father. Though his eighth graders may have a better grasp of the new restrictions, his soccer season was a mess. Socially distanced, masked, and with only three games total, it simply did not make any sense. What appears to be happening is the school is choosing to cater to students' parents' wishes, to obviously provide their children with as close to a normal schooling experience as possible; however, by doing so, they are ignoring the comfortability and safety of their teachers by placing them back in the classroom. -

There was no plague
There was no plague whatsoever. The hospitals and clinics were closed and empty. In my city (Rostov-on-Don) we had some dozens of registered infected people, virtually noone was in a severe condition. Tests were 60% precise at most, so multiple tests were necessary, like 3. So that you will get a false positive result for sure. People were scared, 70% wore masks nd gloves. Citizens were forbidden to leave home, but we did not abide those rule, because everyone saw that they were unnecessary. I repeat one more time: no plague in South-Western Russia. -
