As an educator, I am scared to go back. I imagine some of my students feel the same way. I don’t see how a classroom can function properly with a looming sense of fear blanketing its occupants. How can children learn and pay attention when they’re terrified of bringing a deadly disease back to their family? How can a teacher teach under those same conditions, plus the added stress of having to hypermonitor children that might not understand how their behaviors can tragically affect an entire community?

I miss my students. I want to go back to normal teaching. We all know remote learning didn’t work at well, for various reasons. But fear has no place in the classroom. Learning cannot happen effectively if everyone is tense.

We should embrace this new reality, and spend more time trying to figure out how to make remote learning work, at least until things start to settle down throughout the country. It’s difficult, but not impossible. I know that I could teach far more effectively from the safety of my home than I could while dealing with anxiety in my windowless classroom. I’m sure my students, some of whom already suffered from anxiety pre-Covid, would agree.

Hello HR folks. Overheard a conversation at work and am curious what is the norm.
If an employee goes out on FMLA, obviously the benefits person sends them the STD, FMLA paperwork etc. But is it the maagers responsibility to maintain communication with the person out on leave and to get a timeline on their return or would that be the benefits team? Or maybe the HRBP?

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk?

We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
