But we have God on our side

Are there actually people refusing to teach from home (this is genuine question)? If so, holy shit.
The first thing my wife and I did was go to Ikea and spend $200 on two desks, which we set up at opposite ends of the house.
I don't like having my 'teaching' space in the bedroom, but, if needs must.

A family that runs a shop nearby to me are on the same wavelength. No masks worn by them when serving, happy to let customers in without masks, have stated they will not take the vaccine, do not believe the Government or the science. Colour me surprised when the old man told me they were committed Christians and "everything happens for God's purpose".

Par for course. As an aside, the Netflix series Unorthodox is very good. Cult.

@Victor-Meldrew I actaully understand the teachers unions point of view. And poor leadership from Williamson is what has caused these huge waves of negativity towards them. Some basic response he may have thought of.
Q: We aren't going to school as it's clearly not safe for us
A: Science disagrees with you and given you are teachers, we would expect you to respect science.Q: I'm not going back in until I've had the vaccine
A: Ok. We'll put you on the statutory sick pay until your vaccine times comes up and you can go in after then. In the meantime, we'll send a letter to each of your student parents explain why you are outQ: What if cases go nuts?
A: Then we'll close the schools and we'l switch to online learning as we have done in the past and currently are.Q: Zoom from home? Thats my private space!! No way!
A: You are welcome to go into school and zoom from there.Q: But key worker children are in there, so that's not safe
A: Then please zoom from home.Q: But thats my personal space.
A: Nobody is asking you to zoom with kids whilst you take a shit. Create small space you are prepared to share. You are aware we are in a pandemic right & a lot of poeple are going through absolute hell. We are asking you to put a white sheet / board up behind you.Q: This has been handled so poorly. I refuse to teach.
A: I refuse to pay you.Q: Right, fuck you I'm off to my union.
A: Are you aware this is a conservative government?Can't disagree with you that Williamson should have considered that approach.
But have some serious worries about your last point.... -

Yes, if it means Zoom contact, as it invades their privacy.

I know I'm regurgitating the same old, same old, but just what the fuck is wrong with these people.
Police in London break up wedding with 400 guests
Guests at the wedding had covered the windows so people could not see what was going on inside
-
I'm not sure what to say about that except that these people probably don't give a shit about their a) jobs and/or b) their students
Seriously, right, people moaning about this? You have a white(ish) collar job and can work from home, and that's the problem? I do somewhat understand if ppl are having problems with internet etc, but that's separate.

Turns out the wedding was held in a closed Jewish school being used as a COVID Testing Centre.
They sure had a lot of chutzpah.

Police were as popular as pork chops at Jewish wedding?

They have caused not dissimilar problems in Israel!

I'm not sure the wedding was actually Jewish, but your point is a good one.
