That existing risk was already at the limit of acceptability. New risk being added on pushes many past that limit.

It's made worse by the fact that this additional risk is being left out of the discussion so often. People talk about what's good for the children and their parents and the economy, but not about what the teachers need. They're being treated as disposable, which exacerbates the perception of risk further.

Discussions about school openings that ignore a critical factor are not going to result in what people hope for.
