I do not know the inner workings of all the districts in the nation, but I would be willing to bet at least some of the direction involves school districts not receiving funds if they do not tow the line being mandated by their states.

If the media reports are correct, teachers are in panic mode.

Mine go in twice a week. My oldest was pissed because attending class put her behind. My youngest has her work finished in 1/2 the time. Shows you how much of the school day is “fluff”.
Could be, but my experience has been, trying to teach a bunch of kids remotely at the same time, you’re lucky if you can cover half as much as you would in person. The fast kids get done quick, the slower kids, not so much.

My son and daughter-in-law both are teachers. Their school went to a hybrid model last year, started that way this year, then went to complete on-line instruction, and are now back to hybrid. They had no input whatsoever in these decisions. They will tell you that teaching under either of these models requires much more work than in-person learning. They are dedicated and good at their jobs. I am proud of them and I get tired of people lumping "teachers" together in one condemned group. I am sure that there are many teachers, probably grouped together in large population areas where dedication and skill are very small considerations in hiring practices, who are less than caring and competent. Even in those places, I am sure that there are teachers who strive to do the job properly. I get tired of hearing the good teachers painted with the same brush as the poor ones when they deserve better.
So would they rather be online / hybrid or in the classroom full time?

The good news is even the sheep can no longer deny the existence of the terminal cancer that is teacher unions and education bureaucracies. Teachers make a decent living, not extravagant..................but the administrators rape & pillage with the absolutely outrageously extravagant & totally unwarranted salaries that they extort form the taxpayers. For next to no ROI for the work that they do.....................kinda akin to Congress. And the level of the capabilities of all HS graduates, taken on the whole, surely reflects that level of incompetence. MM

My grandkids have been attending (in school) classes since last September. No issues what-so-ever. They have participated in sports (volleyball, soccer, track and field and golf) also without issue. BTW, this in in Florida.

I hear you. Ever heard school teachers talk about homeschooled students?

Because they can’t talk those who drank the kool aid into going back to normal; their propaganda was too effective and they can’t I train the lemmings from running off the hill.

Our small rural local School District went to hybrid in-person first of the year. 1/3rd of students are full time remote, by parental choice. 1/3rd "A-Day" M-T In-person, W-F remote. 1/3rd "B-Day" Th-F In-person and M-W remote. All of our teachers would love to be back to full time, all in-person. As noted above, MUCH more work for the teachers in the the hybrid model...
Elsewhere in the state, (think large urban districts, under "D"-bag and union control, teachers still not agreeing to in-person teaching), parents have filed class action lawsuits against the school boards to resume in-person instruction... Should be interesting...

Has the government abandoned the schools? No. They abandoned the people that use them. Pay your taxes.

In big cities the lazy good for nothing teacher union thugs have refused to go back to classroom teaching, even though the CDC has said it's perfectly safe and they've been ordered to. Chicago even spent $100,000,000 on Covid safety provisions and still the lazy good for nothing mobbed up teacher union thugs refuse to go back.
The solution IMO is to give 'em a deadline. If they don't come back, they're fired and will not be rehired. Plus there will be no more negotiations with the union. Just like President Reagan and PATCO.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
