The students who will lose out the most in online learning are those living in poverty, but teachers also shouldn& #39;t be forced to risk their lives going back into school buildings. What a terrible situation. It didn& #39;t have to be this way. Never forget it didn& #39;t have to be this way

I started my career off as a high school teacher. If my district was demanding I go back into the classroom during a pandemic and put my family at risk I& #39;d be furious. And it& #39;s not as simple as teachers just quitting in isolation. People need income. People need health insurance.

Teachers not feeling like they are able to quit their jobs during a pandemic as their districts threaten to send them back into small, unventilated classrooms is reason 6,473 why we need Medicare for all.

And it& #39;s not just the teachers who are at risk, it& #39;s the janitors, it& #39;s the cafeteria workers, it& #39;s the teaching assistants, it& #39;s the students. It& #39;s their families. It& #39;s their communities. Everyone is impacted by this.
