<p>A recently released poll from <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2020/05/26/coronavirus-schools-teachers-poll-ipsos-parents-fall-online/5254729002/">USA Today/Ipsos</a> shows that as many as 18% of teachers in the United States might not be ready to return to school in the fall should they reopen.</p>
<p>The survey of 505 kindergarten through high school teachers was taken May 18-21, and has a credibility interval of 5 points.</p>
<p>The survey asked: “If your school was to reopen and implement social distancing guidelines, how likely are the following?”</p>
<p>18% of teachers said “I would not return to teaching.”</p>
<p>Broken down further, a full 6% of teachers surveyed said they “very likely” wouldn’t return, and 13% were slightly less certain, saying that it is “somewhat likely” they would not return.</p>
<p>A supermajority of teachers, 69%, indicated that they would likely return to schools in the fall if social distancing guidelines were implemented. 26% of respondents said it’s “not very likely” that they wouldn’t return, and 43% said it’s “not at all likely” that they wouldn’t return.</p>
<p>12% “don’t know.”</p>
<p>The survey also asked about a series of “measures” pertaining to schools reopening, and how teachers feel about those measures: “Would you support or oppose the following measures if schools in your area implemented them this fall?”</p>
<p>The most popular option with 69% support was “returning to school 2-3 days a week, with distance learning on the other days.” 20% “strongly support” this idea while 10% “strongly oppose.” 49% “somewhat support” and 17% “somewhat oppose.”</p>
<p>In second place with 65% support would be “high-risk” teachers “continuing to teach online while low-risk teachers teach in person.” 20% “strongly support” this measure while 8% “strongly oppose.” 44% “somewhat support” and 18% “somewhat oppose.”</p>
<p>In third with 57% was simply a return to school “five days a week.” 24% “strongly support” that idea while 11% “strongly oppose.” 33% “somewhat support” and 24% “somewhat oppose.”</p>
<p>49% of those surveyed said that they support the idea of “students and teachers returning to school before there is a coronavirus vaccine.” 13% “strongly support” the idea while 14% “strongly oppose.” 36% “somewhat support” and 26% “somewhat oppose.”</p>
<p>Only 34% agreed with adjusting the school year timeline to begin earlier and end later.</p>
<p>USA Today/Ipsos also <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2020/05/26/coronavirus-schools-teachers-poll-ipsos-parents-fall-online/5254729002/">surveyed parents</a>.</p>
<p>As numerous states begin their reopening phases, and all eyes look toward the fall and the reopening of schools, there are differing ideas regarding how to move ahead. As a vaccine timeline remains unclear, personal mitigation and sanitation appear to be some of the only options that could allow Americans to begin again in earnest.</p>
<p>Clearly, as shown in the USA Today/Ipsos survey, teachers are just as unsure as it pertains to reopening, as well as the best ways to do so safely.</p>
<p>COVID-19 has infected over 5.9 million people worldwide, and led to more than 357,900 deaths, <a href="https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6">according to data</a> from the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) Global Cases map. Over 2.3 million people have recovered.</p>
<p>In the United States, there have been more than 1.7 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, and over 101,000 deaths. As of publication, 391,508 individuals have recovered from the virus.</p>
