I would like to acknowledge the letter's sentiment to prioritize educators to get the vaccine is laudable if not way overdue. I also understand the need for some sugar, but to me, this goes overboard.
So I am torn. I want to give Andersen props for doing the right thing, but I am frustrated it took so long and frankly grossed out by the letter. We should not have to fawn over and beg the governor to do the right thing. I am not saying to be combative, but the facts alone layout an incredibly valid case.
I hate to be that guy but I think the best thing that can come of this and it's very valuable and that's for Desantis's cruelty to be on the record.
Call me jaded and I know some will, but this is just insulting to all teachers who have given and sacrificed.
Well, I hope it works, and I hope I am wrong when I say I don't think it will, and when the letter fails, sorry if the letter fails to move our governor, then Andersen the super and the board should finally start to do what they should have been doing since last summer, and that's educating the people about the dangers, implement proper contact tracing and doing all they can to keep people out of the schools.
There is a lot Andersen and the board could be and should have been doing; hopefully, this letter is just step one.
On Friday, the dean at my school stood outside just chatting away with a student wearing her mask under her chin less than 18" away. Never said a word to her about putting her mask on properly. A teacher at my school never wears a mask, not even in a class full of students. DeSantis and Corchoran and the school board don't give a $&*^ about us, but neither do a lot teachers, staff and administration. The Covid rate is high at my school.
