I've never been so infuriated with parents EVER!

I teach high school history in a conservative district. Three years ago my school went from in-person to virtual overnight. We weren't a red district but more a "we don't believe it's that bad" district. a lot of kids had a rough time adjusting to online. Now that we're back in person, I have a lot of parents who still think Covid isn't a big deal. I have been very sick with Covid these past few days. I think I might have long Covid but I'm trying to hold on. a lot of parents have contacted me to give me their remedies. Apple cider vinegar, vitamin a, zinc, etc. then I have parents who contacted me to let me know that they kept their kids home so they wouldn't get infected. Just now I got a voicemail from a parent stating that she will be keeping her kids home because she doesn't want them in a classroom that I've been in while sick. I'm pissed because I'm home. I have been home. a sub has been in my classroom. She has no right to judge me.<br><br>Also I should note that I have been accommodating to my students. Those who have had absences due to Covid have been accommodated. Those who have been afraid to come back have been accommodated. I just wish I had the same grace for them when clearly I don't.<br><br>Edit: I'm very sorry everyone if I didn't answer your questions. I also didn't expect this to blow up. I'm on a lot of red so I just didn't expect it. Anyways. A lot of you have given me advice. I think I'll just speak to my principal about it. I appreciate a lot of the legal advice but I think that would be too much. a lot of you have also said to just ignore it but I was too pissed to just ignore it. I may not have been at work but I'm still dealing with parents. I appreciate the support. I just hope that the parents really do just care about their kids.
