Although all three wore masks and gloves, used hand sanitizer and socially distanced, they all got infected with the coronavirus. One of them, who was 61, died in June.<\/p>\n<p>Even experts do not yet have a good understanding of the likely risks tied to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17226\/25858\">reopening K-12 school buildings<\/a>. Much remains unknown about the degree to which kids, who appear to be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/07\/10\/politics\/do-kids-spread-coronavirus-fact-check\/index.html\">unlikely to develop COVID-19 symptoms<\/a>, can spread the coronavirus.

In states like Kentucky, Arizona, California and Illinois, they protested low salaries, large class sizes and cuts to school budgets that have forced many teachers to spend their own money on classroom materials.<\/p>\n<p>From these walkouts, some statewide and others limited to specific school districts, teachers won better pay and working conditions. They also garnered\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.edweek.org\/edweek\/teacherbeat\/2019\/01\/los-angeles-deal-end-strike.html\">considerable public support<\/a>\u00a0that may have bolstered educators\u2019\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/local\/lausd-will-not-have-in-person-classes-in-the-fall-online-learning-to-continue\/2395329\/\">political clout<\/a>\u00a0in decisions being made about how to carry on with K-12 schooling in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Major consequences<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Teaching is challenging in the best of times. Now teachers are being asked and told to do more than ever: prepare in-person, online and hybrid lessons, allay students\u2019 anxieties, and risk their own and their families\u2019 health while serving students and families, often in communities where the pandemic isn\u2019t anywhere near under control.<\/p>\n<p>Should school systems not heed teacher safety concerns, there\u2019s a risk that large numbers of educators\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chalkbeat.org\/2020\/5\/9\/21252608\/older-teachers-heath-concerns-coronavirus-return-to-schools\">might retire early or quit<\/a>\u00a0until conditions are safer.<\/p>\n<p>A wave of resignations could have major consequences for school quality.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shankerinstitute.org\/resource\/does-money-matter-second-edition\">Teacher experience makes a big difference<\/a>, in terms of both measured student achievement and student behavior. And replacing them with inexperienced substitute teachers and others far less qualified and issued emergency credentials would surely take a toll on the quality of education children get, whether it happens online or in classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>In my view, the educational costs of losing scores of veteran teachers over personal health concerns would be incalculable.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Michael Addonizio is Professor of educational leadership and policy studies at Wayne State University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safely resuming in-person instruction at U.S. public schools is important for the\u00a0academic,\u00a0physical, emotional and social well-being of children\u00a0and their families.
