When teachers see this, they do not want to go back to schools due to the enormous challenges they have to face. The in-class teaching in CA is having huge challenges which might take forever to be done:
- Cleanliness for the restrooms need to be dramatically improved. There is no enough janitors to do the job so most districts made contracts with small companies, which security-wise seems to be unsafe.
- The sanitization for the tools the students use is none, which is again critical under the circumstances.
-
The distance between the students especially the youngest ones is kept at less than 2 feet, although some schools use a transparent plastic shield around the top of each desk. Approaching each other during the play time is unavoidable.
- The class ventilation should be improved and maintained.
- Dusty books and documents need to be removed from classrooms.
- Playground play-carts and its contents could be a source of infection since they are not sanitized properly and frequently enough.
- No hot water in students’ bathrooms and most kids avoid washing their hands with cold water and you know what this means.
These are all real challenges, not made-up ones. Solutions are plenty, it only needs the right person to act fast on dealing with them but the right person is not enough for CA has thousands of schools.
