Lots of attention given to absenteeism, threats to fine parents, online dashboards for real-time student tracking and all the BS non-solutions.
Instead we could clean the air in schools, normalise masking in risky environments, regularise testing, support adequate isolation. But for that it would be necessary to break out of the collective delusion and admit that #CovidIsNotOver.
You'd expect the teacher unions to be raising hell about this, but they also seem to be caught in the fantasy that covid (and all the other diseases) are fine to catch over and over again, and that workers' health is disposable.
Covid won't get better until there is collective action to materially change the conditions where it spreads.
We know what to do and it's cheaper, easier and better than this endless cycle of death and disability.
