I would also be much better with alternating half days than going to school 2 days a week, but I imagine that is not feasible with bus schedules and other logistical concerns.

Of course they want to return. The Trump bucks end in about 6 weeks and they aren't going to get paid to do internet school another semester and budgets are about to get crunched. Someone need to just start using that leverage. No more Trump bucks and no more federal money to districts until they open fully.

So if schools are closed and will be done virtually, teachers wont get paid?

Ignoring that, are you suggesting that someone (Trump?) tells teachers to go back to school or don't get paid?

Yes, just like the rest of us. Of course if a district has the money or wants to raise taxes for the money and wants to pay them, they are certainly within their bounds to do so.

So we expect teachers to work virtually without pay?

Prior to the Rona, teachers already worked virtually AND got paid. For years.
