Work in Further Ed. Had to go into work today for a full facility meeting regarding enrolment in the next few days. 50 staff in the meeting in one room. Speaker not wearing a mask.
Hand sanitzers were dotted around outside of the room but that was about it. Handed around pens to share etc. Paperwork to be handled by all staff members.
Also announced back to full time teaching no allowances in class sizes, if possible there will be an area for the teacher to stand in class but oten not 2m from students. Students can not be 2m away from each other.
No money for extra cleaning that is down to us. No masks to be worn in classrooms. Many classrooms with no opening windows.
It is so different from the rest of society.
Can we refuse to work?
Can we ask for more protection eg smaller classes, blended learning, mask wearing?
Or is is a matter of if you dont like it then leave?
Dont get me started on the actual enrolment of over 2500 students in the next few days. All getting a face to face interview.....
