My school district has been shut down due to covid for two weeks

Today, my district is shut down for another 10 days.

Who keeps trying to tell me that schools are safe and parents want their children back in school?

I'd rather err on the side of protecting children from a potentially fatal disease. I don't like virtual teaching. BUT. . .it's what needs to be done.

and this was before Covid. I was sick 90% of the time I was teaching in elementary school and that was with flu shots, sleeping and eating right, etc.
