Local officials on Sunday expressed that they have hesitations regarding the reopening of schools as coronavirus cases continue surging throughout the country.
Schools aren’t reopening. With the current trajectory, we’re going to be recording well over 100k cases/day by August, and there will be no desire out there to bring kids and teachers together.
As usual, Donnie’s camp is gung ho on extorting compliance with their wishes: ‘Do it, or we’ll take, take, take.’ Standard Trumpism.
At the same time, they’re making no effort to find the funding to allow it to happen.
Unfunded mandates: standard Republicanism.
ETA: By all good sense and science, in most US cases, it shouldn’t happen any way.
It’s all about the loss of productivity caused by parents staying home with the kids. Like they used to.
“Come on, it’s not that hard.” So said White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Friday when asked about lost productivity, as parents care for children out of school during the pandemic. “Just go back to school, we can do that.”
When we were all in lockdown in March and April and pollution disappeared and Italians were singing to each other, I thought maybe we could come out the other side with a new understanding and a renewed sense of being one nation and we could move forward all over the world.
yeah. I’m always hoping for a Star Trek future. I keep getting slapped but I am never giving up.
“There are a number … of problems that have to be solved in order to open schools safely. The president is incapable of solving them. He just wants them open, so that people can go back to work,"
“All three teachers wore masks and gloves, used hand sanitizer and socially distanced, but still got sick…‘I think that’s really the message or the concern that our staff has is we can’t even keep our staff safe by themselves … how are we going to keep 20 kids in a classroom safe?’”
At the very least, we will lose an entire generation of teachers.
Worse, we may lose an entire generation of children or their parents or their grandparents.
This is madness.
America is adrift – rudderless – as a doddering moron flails impotently, screaming for adoration.
And the lower decks flood with water rising at alarming speed and ever-increasing acceleration.
Let our schools spend the next semester building their online capacity.
Pay them well for it to fill the fiscal gap. especially the home-bound teachers.
It costs less to give a child a laptop than it does to bury their grandmother.
