Teachers in the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe took matters into their own hands by calling off sick after their school board cut safety measures and refused to go virtual even as record numbers of children are hospitalized across the state.
Grosse Pointe students stay present while over 100 teachers in sick-out

Attendance Friday at Grosse Pointe Public Schools was business as usual despite more than 100 district teachers staying home from work this week and rumors that students would be calling in sick en masse.
After some students indicated they planned to call in sick in solidarity with their teachers, Superintendent Gary Niehaus pleaded with parents to keep their kids in class. Now is the time to set aside our differences and finish the school year strong. In this spirit, please do not keep your student home tomorrow or any other day, Niehaus wrote Thursday night in a letter to parents. This accomplishes nothing other than disrupts the learning environment and divides those conflicted between their sense of loyalty and sense of duty.
