If you know it is false provide proof or did you get it from some conspiracy theory website.
Trust me the large majority of KY teachers are begging to get back to in person instruction. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either an idiot or clueless.

False
And don't get it wrong, I'm not complaining about the teachers.
But the teachers union is garbage and right now is causing more harm for short term gain than they will ever make up in the long term. Same can be said for most all public employee unions.

Teachers unions delayed starts of both semesters state wide and have forced closed the 2 largest school systems in the state for a year. Other, less influenced, districts have safely opened. Private schools not under the purview of the union have been open the entire time. Globally schools have been open since early Summer. Nationally 50% of schools have been open since Fall. It's no coincidence where the schools remain closed. Major metropolitan and heavily red districts.
Fayette was under the threshold for in person school nearly half the fall semester and never returned. So, no.
Yeah, I have an ax to grind. They're needlessly harming our children to play political games. When this clearly isn't about the kids or safety. So I'm pretty f*cking pissed off. How they sleep at night is beyond me.
^ Could seriously post 100 of those. You can't find 1 that says otherwise. They even discredited the Israel study after review
If you want unbiased facts on schools from basically every newspaper or study in America, visit the reopn schools thread. Everything from major universities worldwide to NYT.
To date - WHO, CDC, Fauci, American Association or Pediatrics all have said children are safer in person learning. TS. Kentucky Teachers Union, not safe even with vaccines.

You need to visit a little place named “The Lexington School”. Only things better looking than the moms are the cars.
You get a giving statement just as you would from any other church. You are not presented a bill. You are just taught the importance of giving and to give as you are able.
It's a system that works when most people stay in one locale generationally. It works really well, frankly. Everyone has a vested interest in seeing your family educated in the way that you see fit.
The parents resources have always been stretched thin throughout time. The grandparents and extended family pickup the slack.
It starts to fall apart when your grandchildren are not in the system. Then you see some families drop their kids off at the door without thinking about any further obligation while 80% of your property tax bill goes to the public school in town.
There are lots of needless arguments at church voter's meetings by doing it this way. I've been saying their days were numbered when I met my wife 25 years ago, but it's still going.
If you want to be open minded I suggest you go read Emily Oster and Avik Roy. Their feeds have every possible link to school studies. Here are few no conspiracy recent articles to start with explaining why the CDC said to get kids back in school.
You live by Ballard, your kid goes to Central
The year health, science, masks and survival became political games. Brought to you in 2020 by the Grand Old Party.
From that Alantic article. Perfectly said:
I don’t blame teachers for keeping schools closed yet. I blame the government and the media. Public communication about this disease has been horrendous, and the Trump White House was a fount of nonsense. Meanwhile, some journalists and professionals, in an attempt to fight back against Trump’s disinformation, leaned too heavily into COVID pessimism and clung to outdated fears about secondary spread among young kids. That’s made a lot of people unnecessarily concerned that kids are silent vectors for this disease, and made teachers feel like they were being thrown to the wolves in a country that has failed in just about every pandemic test. If I were a teacher relying on information from the mainstream press—especially a teacher in a pandemic pod that included immunocompromised relatives—I might be pretty scared of going back to school.
Under the banner of safety, too many people have passed along alarmist information that has contributed to a lot of misery. Americans have to learn, and accept, that the preponderance of evidence simply doesn’t support the fears that govern school policy today.
- Distribute high-quality scientific information. Most important, educate teachers about the lower transmission risk of young students—and the ongoing necessity of COVID-19 protocols—to get their enthusiastic buy-in, which will naturally be contingent on our success at reducing community spread and accelerating vaccination.

You enroll your kid at KCD, you set your kid up with:
a) admission to Ivy League schools
b) cirrhosis of the liver
I thought this was going to be a thread for the discussion of this ridiculous 80's titty flick.

I keep hearing the same garbage from teachers. "Don't blame me I want to be back in school".
While I think that's mostly true, you backed the teachers union, you propped them up, so don't cry now with all the decisions they are making. You made this bed, don't run from it now.
Creed likes to stir up some **** now.
What am I trying to stir up? I am just telling you that I am married to a teacher, have a daughter that is currently doing her student teaching and have probably 20-30 friends that are teachers and none of them have liked virtual learning and they all want to go back to in class instruction.
Again why are you lumping everyone together. Don't assume all teacher are okay with the teachers union.
I actually think you both are right. Unfortunately in the day and age of snowflake minority driving the majority of the action you get situations like this. 75% want to go back to in person, 15% could care less one way or another, 10% don't want to go back. The 10% win because they are the loudest and threaten the most. The world is a much different place today than it was 20 years ago from that perspective.
So instead you want them indoctrinated by people who want a Christian nationalist state ala The Handmiad’s Tale?

My parents got me out of private school when I was young for a bunch of BS as well. That said it's a different world today and not all private schools are like that. I've got my kids in private school and don't have a single complaint. They don't push religion too much and have my kids learning things I learned much later on or not at all.
The liberal indoctrination taking place in public schools is FAR FAR FAR worse than any religious indoctrination at any private school.
As for your mom, I feel sorry for her as she probably feels like a total failure every time she looks at her son.
Sorry, son is a gender pronoun, so does "it" work?
I've assumed all along you were born last night.
Went to both. Spent most of my years in a Private Catholic Military school, then private christian college. We had religious courses every semester. Some were classes about Christianity some were about history like Reformation, some were about other religions or something spiritual like "death as a fact of life". I got far more out of these schools in regards to discipline, accountability and character than anything pertaining to religion.
I don't think the private religious schools in the 2020's are anything like what they were for my parents back in the 50's and 60's. If there's somethiong a liberal wants to be angry about over private schools for.. a lot of them do set you up nicely, even if you don't necessarily earn it. Going to a private school certainly opens more doors.
But what should REALLY alarm you is not the folks who are catholic, who send their kids to a catholic school, to learn about catholic things... but instead, folks who send their kids to a public school for a normal education only to get a bunch of left-leaning political **** thrown their way. That is a huge difference. Don't like catholic school teachings? Don't go. But there isn't much you can do about a left-wing tenured nut-job as a public school teacher... and boy, there are FAR more of them than some god-fearing elderly women in 2020..
.. I mean, can you imagine the outcry if this was reversed??
Libs had to spend money to go learn "their" ideologies, or for free, which is the only option for 90% of America, they could go learn a bunch of catholic ****. Oh man... the ensuing riots lol.

The teachers sure have been the most vocal group of people in the world when it came to every other issue. I haven't a heard a single one talk bad about the KTA.
There’s a lot of misguided anger in blaming the “teacher’s union” for Covid school closures in Kentucky. The “teacher’s union” only exists as a true union (ability to bargain for a contract with pay, benefits, and set working conditions) in just a handful of counties in the state. Why? Because Kentucky is a no-bargain state for public employed unions unless the employer has specifically granted them bargaining rights (such as Jefferson and Fayette). So, if you’re pissed off about Covid school closures, the only way the “teacher’s union” had any role in the closure is if the local school board in that district has granted them the right to have a voice in their working conditions.
Public school should be abolished. It’s nothing more than a system designed to make obedient office drones/factory workers.
