This is a copy and paste from a comment I made in r/offmychest. <br><br>F*** you, Donald Trump. F*** you, Betsy DeVos. I’m done, I can’t do this anymore. I’m a good teacher, I spent decades becoming a good teacher. I love my students, I love teaching, I love my subject. I’m done. I can’t do this anymore.<br><br>We’re going back to school in two weeks. I don’t know if I have COVID, I’ve been sick and my city hasn’t gotten around to testing me, but I’m being sent back into the classroom in two weeks. The classroom that doesn’t have running water so my students can wash their hands. I’m being told I won’t have PPE, I won’t have enough money to sanigate. <br><br>I’m being told that I have to teach those students who are still online, and those in class at the same time. But I also have to keep those who are in class six feet apart and make sure they are not mixing. I also have to teach those students whose parents chose to keep them at home, and they will be doing papers, while everyone else is digital. I will have to teach all of these students and keep them all straight at the same time. <br><br>If I get COVID and die it will be a three day weekend for my coworkers and students. I will be dismissed as nothing more than a person who was too fat, too old, too diabetic, too weak, to fight the virus. No one will talk about all the good I did in my decades of teaching. No on will talk about my skills in the classroom or my love for my students. No one will even notice I’m gone.<br><br>So F*** you, Donald Trump. F*** you, Betsy DeVos. F*** you, “my rights mean I don’t have to wear a mask”. F*** you Chasety. F*** you, all the idiots in this world who have now murdered me. I’m done.
