My wife got strong-armed into coming back to teach.
Even though they presented to the teachers like they had different options on how they return, how its played out is much different. She was thoughtful and gave them advance warning that she was electing to use her personal days to miss the first 8 weeks, then they told her they were going to fold her children into the other classes instead of hiring a permanent sub. When she comes back she will have no class/no children, so she will have to become a spot filler for the remainder of the year. This is after being in the same position for 25 years.
She would have to go through the grievance process to get it corrected which could take months and end up causing more stress. So, now she's going to come back to the shit show and be a guinea pig.
Not looking for sympathy, just giving you some insight on what's going on behind the scenes of certain schools.
