Not bad, it's a peaceful night. Anything in particular you'd like to talk about?
assistant
Question
That's great. My job refused my request to continue to work from home. So I was pretty much forced to go into a school where the cases are growing.

I imagine that's very overwhelming and stressful to think about. Are there at least some type of protocols and protection in place for your well-being?

Just to make sure I'm wearing my mask, washing my hands, and social distancing. Which is not enough. There are more and more teachers getting infected and I just feel it a matter of time before it my turn. I fear that I will bring this home to my family and I will not survive it. I have pre existing conditions.

I'm sorry that you're having to deal with such stressful circumstances. You can only control what you can control. Have you discussed these concerns with the school and explained the preexisting conditions? I get it though. It's scary for everyone at this point

Yes I have explained to my principal, my team, and got a note from my Rheumatologist.

It seems to me that they should take that information into consideration.

I feel that way too. I was told it for the best interest of the school that I am there I do not have student in my classroom but I'm forced to help out around the school with students and staff. Teachers are not cared about its just about pleasing the parents it crazy. I can't quit because there not much to go into now

Is there someone else you could go to about this? Besides whoever you've already attempted to discuss it with? Yeah you're right. Covid has been a mess for everyone and affected us in so many ways that e could've never prepared for

I've tried contacting HR a few times but I have never received a call back, or my emails answered.

I mean all you can do is try your best to stay safe but I would continue to reach out to people higher up and see about getting something done. They probably get a lot of calls and emails right now because of everything going on but I would keep trying
