Yeah my wife is a preschool teacher. She couldn't wait to get back with the kids in person. It's so hard keeping their attention spans up through Teams. It's just not the same either. But of course they're following wholly unnecessary covid protocols because our Governor is a tyrant and jackass.
Her union seems to be at least reasonable, it's not apparently affiliated, at least not directly with the NJEA. Those assholes have this "Teachers' Convention" every November in AC (dunno if they tried to this past year) and really all they do is the ones who actually go down there might go to one short workshop and the rest of the time they're shopping and dicking around. There was a video Veritas did a few years back where they had someone undercover posing as a teacher and getting video of them in bars badmouthing the kids they have to teach and mocking the parents. The rest of the teachers stay home and treat it like a long weekend.
I live in NJ as well. My wife told me that many of them use the convention time to go to Disney World instead. Also, don’t forget the nation’s highest property taxes to pay for them. My wife has a teaching degree and politics kept her from getting a job as a teacher.
