Not Making A Living, But A Dying? COVID-19 Forces Hand Of Older Teachers

Florida elementary school teacher David Galloway is 64, has type II diabetes, and is married to a breast cancer survivor.

Last week, Florida announced that all schools would soon have to open five days a week, despite the state’s record-setting number of COVID-19 cases.

Galloway is one of many aging or immunocompromised teachers who may quit or retire early if they have to return full-time to the classroom.
