Like all service professions, teaching is treated like dirt. Nobody, not ONCE, has asked teachers about Covid in schools. Just as they don’t ask nurses about Covid in hospitals. Instead we have opinionated paediatricians and other non-school experts who basically need to be told to fuck off, unless they’d like teachers to advise them on their practice as well (we know how that conversation would end). And politicians for whom schools are just childcare for business.
