Thoughts from a 1st Grade Teacher in Vancouver

This sounds terrifying.

tl;dr

1. We literally receive information about the back-to-school plan from Rob Fleming's press releases, or from the news.
   
2. Our classrooms are not safe, and no steps have been taken to change this.
   
3. We have been asked to make something from nothing.
   
4. We were informed just yesterday that we will likely be responsible for both sides of the hybrid model.
   
5. We are sick of the gaslighting. The government should be honest about the fact that they have decided that keeping students home and the economy closed is more detrimental than the possibility that some students, families and teachers will get sick, and some may even die.
   
6. Considerable money has been pledged to make schools safer, but most of it is as-yet unallocated.
   
7. We love our students and we are scared.
