I hear what you are saying, but it is a little different in an office or other adult setting. Asking and expecting an adult to social distance and wear a mask all day and wash their hands a lot is completely different than expecting children from the age of 5 to comply. Being an adult responsible for overseeing 20 plus kids all day is a bit different than adults taking care of themselves.
I think the retail workers getting coughed and spat on for reminding customers that masks are required would have a different opinion of how much better "adult" workplaces are.
I do understand the worries teachers have during this time. But those worries aren't any different from those of a hundred other professions that have been told "go back to work or you're fired." That's the way of our economy. I don't understand why so many teachers feel like they deserve to be an exception, and I especially don't get the complaints I've read from teachers who are also posting pictures of their new haircut or long-overdue color, their first "girls night out" since before COVID, romantic dinner out with their SOs, etc.
