Chicago Teachers Union votes 73% to begin remote teaching starting tomorrow

[Ms. Toad]

7. Our county positivity rate is above 30% -

and pop-up testing sites were above 50% last week.

And I'm teaching in person (6 hours last Sunday, 3 hours yesterday, 3 hours today, and 12 hours next weekend).

I'd comment on what babies they are (in comparison to what I'm doing) - but I agree that in person teaching is very risky at this point, and probably would have voted not to teach in person. My university has, informally, told me that any class with more than 1/3 of the students absent will switch to remote.

Fortunately, I guess, I'm retiring in April so next weekend will be the last class I teach. (I am doing non-teaching duties until the end of March). So I won't have to wrestle with whether to teach or not.
