Most educators I've talked to feel the same. No way they keep the teachers virus free. That's the bottleneck. Kids get it, send'em home, they go online. Teacher gets it, you're screwed. Few subs, the ones that are there probably don't have a certificate in the subject being taught, they are there simply to be a placeholder/babysitter. What do you do? My youngest chose to start the year today online so when they pull the plug on in-person, she's already in the routine and it's no change for her.

Subs are a very real problem for sure. Last year subs got $55 a day. My county is now offering $75, an adjacent one is offering $100, and they're still worried about having enough.

On the plus side, my county system is in week 3 and so far it's gone well. There has been a very small (<10) number of cases among students and staff.
