I would. My daughter is a teacher and she does and will. Same for next door neighbor. They will take safety measures,temp, distance and lots sanitizer. Here’s something you don’t hear on TV: No one IN THE WORLD under the age of 14 has died from the virus and kids are only spreaders and consider to be weak spreaders as asymptomatic- do not “project” virus. The overwhelming t majority of those exposed to virus do not catch it, my wife was directly exposed and did not catch it. 90% of those being tested who were exposed do not have it.
It can be done safely.
If you are obese or have other co-morbidity, pulmonary , heart etc stay home
Be safe but try and not panic.

Exactly. No teachers union in Texas....the 2 teachers in my family are supposed to go back in August. The 5th grade math teacher will have classroom students and online students. If he gets sick, he will be required to do distance teaching from home. His district survey has 70% parents wanting their kids in school. For daycare. I have no idea who to believe about positive test numbers and deaths and hospital capacity. Its all political, now 😡

A 6 week old baby died from the China flu in Texas today. If kids dont pose a danger, why was it recommended they stay away from their grandparents?

Teachers get paid whether the schools are open or not open. It is better for their teachers that the schools not open again until at least November 5.

They are getting paid for little or no work. Cut off their pay or put them on furlough and let’s see how that affects their thinking.
School age kids have close to zero probability of dying from coronavirus even if they test positive.

You have to defund the teachers’ colleges, too, and make their previous graduates ineligible for employment in the public schools.-

My son loves teaching. He managed to still teach from home after schools closed. He will go back but is very cautious about how this will work. Masks? lol
Social distancing in a class of 25+ double lol

Do you even know what a teacher makes salary wise. What an ignorant comment.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ This!!! 😀😀😀👏👏👏👏 Of course it takes some character and commitment from the parent so... but if it happened we might be able to de-program the brainwashes zombie kids and have actual common sense, logical thinking and ...gasp... facts being taught to our next generation.

The uncertainty over opening finally pushed my wife to agree to sending kids to private school. From the health theater to proven incompetence with remote learning, I just dont trust they can handle any of this well. Time for small classes, reduced classroom time, and better content intended for parental assistance.

If the kids aren’t physically attending the school, I can see a reduced budget as making sense when you aren’t running the buses anywhere near as much, not to mention have kids not making a mess in the school, by not using it. Less costs = Less budget allocation.

I know teachers get paid little, but the operating costs of the school heavily depend on the children actually physically attending. Without the children physically there, the buses aren’t being used, the cafeterias don’t need to provide food, less custodial, etc.

IMHO Teachers Unions do put the interests of children first, they are all out for themselves.
I know lots of people that will be forced to quit their jobs if their children are home
