School districts should give at-risk teachers the first pick for virtual work. When they run out of virtual teaching jobs, they should offer voluntary furlough. Allowing teachers the flexibility to temporarily leave would allow younger and healthier risk-takers to step up and do the job during the pandemic. In our current economy, there are tons of young healthy workers willing to take these teaching jobs.

Any worker is free to quit if they don't agree with the risks. The real problem, that I don't see mentioned anywhere, is that teachers want to continue being paid the same salary and benefits to teach virtually, despite virtual learning being a disaster. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
