In fact, we were basically cheering them last year for doing the very same when they were being forced to work. We cheered and demanded the closing of schools

  Some were cheering but I wasn't. I like to think I see both sides to it. On one hand, there are some teachers that are high risk and should not have to go back. On the other hand, some students have been severely underserved. For example on of my teach friends has 5 homeless students that have essentially no school, and others in abusive homes. The practical solution in my opinion was to make low risk teachers conduct in person education for young and vulnerable students for whom at home education will not work, and do so with added precautions. This is what much of the rest of the world has done. At this point, I think it is largely irrelevant, assuming that teachers will have vaccines in the next month or two and be will actually go back once they receive them.
