'Totally heartbroken.' 'I feel like a sacrificial lamb.' 'I thought I was a teacher. Oh no, a social worker. Wait, a police officer. Now a front-line health care worker.' Teachers share anonymous feelings about going back to school amid the pandemic.

"I thought I was a teacher. Oh no, a social worker. Wait, a police officer. Now a front-line health care worker. Just stop!!!"

Teachers from different parts of the country are feeling uneasy about going back into the classroom amid the coronavirus pandemic, with cases surpassing 5 million over the weekend. Many districts are not

Now do grocery store workers...Teachers are only an elevated class because of their union. If Disney can open, schools can open, Karen.

cry me a river. People haven’t stopped working this whole time!! You scared? Then quit, im sure someone will be thee to fill the void

What a bunch of whiners!! Are they really that soft? I’ve been on the frontlines this whole time. These people need a backbone!🙄

Why don’t they feel essential?

I thought you were a public servant!

Not to take anything away from teacher’s fears but do remember everyone working in hospitals throughout this nightmare.

'I feel like a sacrificial lamb.' - give me a dam break.

Sounds about right...this is what happens when you wear all the hats and everyone’s problem is your problem and your not independent from the politics...

Good Lord. I've been back to work in front of the public since March. Find a new job then.

Sure the US has murdered everyone, why not teachers.

Actually you’re just a whiner. Go do your job

New MILEY CYRUS music out this friday! Link in bio

😢😢😢

Go back to work and stop whining, you're a professional.

all purpose fodder

All the professions they're using to describe themselves actually showed up to work.

putinsclown You are correct....run.

Wow, the hatred on this topic is eye opening. We are not first responders. We are not retail workers. We are not babysitters. We have a right to be worried. We do not get paid enough for this. And yes, teachers will be quitting. Good luck.

They would’ve lost their mind if stores closed and they were not able to stocked up on toilet paper.

People treat teachers like expendable garbage. Get ready for a massive shortage of teachers and nurses and doctors in the future.

alivitali NYGovCuomo NYCMayor Teachers have families too!!!! Do not send kids and teachers back to school yet. Too dangerous. Plans around the country are not working!!! Too early!!!

Starting in 1979 (CA Prop 13) + 1980 (MA Prop 2 1/2), the U.S. has systemically cut funding for public education by cutting + capping its main revenue source: Property taxes. We now have 2 generations of Americans who are less educated than their parents. That's how we got here.

So tired of hearing these whiners

BTW the reason we have to be anonymous on places like twitter is because districts would rather fire us for speaking openly than fix the problems we bring up.

Melodramatic asses

Grow a pair and go back to school. Your students need you

A sacrificial lamb? Are you kidding me!?! What about all of the “essential” workers that have been forced to face the public every day of this pandemic Teachers are essential...do your damn job or resign!!

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Everyone has to adjust to the new normal. If you no longer want to work in your profession due to societal changes, you have to either adapt or find a new career - just like everyone else. OpenSchools

The best thing about this is the public realizing they don’t really need teachers.

Retire or change jobs, don’t do something that you feel is not in your interest, people change careers all the time, or do you just want to bitch or get more pay?

I’ve said it for years and it’s even more so now, I don’t know why anyone would want to go into K-12 teaching.

I’m sure all of the essential workers who have been working this whole time felt the same way. They still showed up knowing there was that chance they’d contract covid. . Maybe the teachers should just find a new career if they’re this worried about it.

Non-essential workers

I'm at work. Why can't they be? Stop being selfish. Stop thinking you are doing a heroic task. You aren't doing anything, you're not in danger. People this stupid shouldn't be teaching kids anyways.

What a bunch of cowards. Fire everyone of them. Make these whiners find jobs that don’t give them a pension and three months off a year.

Lmao this is so dramatic

Learn2Code

Feelings. Feelings. Feelings. The world apparently now runs on feelings 🙄

Oh wait, a tradesman, retail worker, grocery clerk, first responder, healthcare worker, the whining is insufferable 🙄

One thing is certain... We do not pay our Teachers enough!

This will be me soon!

Oh, and by the way, we need teachers to do a bit of bricklaying in their 'spare time'.

These teachers make far too less to deal with all this crap

They'll be alright

Oh wait, a supermarket cashier...

Quit

I'm a provider a teacher but I don't get a penny more while I still pay teachers to stay at home while I work every day and teach my kid..............fair Nope give me my money back!!!!! Walmart is open home depot is open acme ect get your butt back to work!!!!

Boo hoo Get to work Majority was outside shopping now all of a sudden You care about who is around You. If We have to work so should You GROW UP

Here is the thing that teachers, health care workers, service people, etc. all need to understand. Do not buy into the myth that you are 'essential'. You have been fed that nonsense so that you would not realize that you are 'expendable' instead.

Facts don’t care about your feelings. Median age of death is around 80. Children stand a better chance of getting struck by lightening than a Covid Mortality. Age 55 and younger virtually no chance of death. CanMSNBCshareFactsForOnce KenNYbUnchained

Talk to a nurse.

We need to close down every Walmart with this type of the attitude
