“Pretty nervous.”
That’s how 37-year-old Clare Berke, an English teacher at the District of Columbia’s Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, describes how she’d feel if asked to return to in-person learning as soon as February.
Berke has been watching coronavirus cases rising in the Washington area and thinking about the many students at the magnet school where she teaches who travel on public transportation to get there. That elevates their risk for exposure to COVID-19 and, in turn, the risk to their teachers.
Child care could be problematic too, if her school switched to in-person learning before her children’s school did. That might mean sending her 3-year-old twins and 5-year-old to Ohio or Nebraska to stay with grandparents indefinitely.
