Congress really wants to deal with that. What can they do??? Sternly worded letters to all the schools???
The schools need to re-open, in person. Developed Europe and Asia are doing it...the United States certainly can do it too.
Keep the liberal politics out of public health...ALL public health.
So according to the all-knowing, all-powerful, all pontificating CDC:
School ISN’T about education.
School IS about nutritional assitance.
School IS about receiving behavioral and emotional support.
I live downwind of a CAFO pig farm and the smell is about the same.
Kids should go back to school.
For their mental health.
For their parents’ mental health.
And so their parents can get back to work.
What do the CDC and Congress have to do with state & local run entities?
In Puyallup, Washington, a wonderful private school has classes beginning on Sept 14. Pre-school to 4th grade. https://puyallupperformingartsacademy.com/
I'm of the mind that schools should remain closed indefinitely. If this COVID-19 outbreak is so serious that a state governor can unilaterally shut down business establishments with no due process on the part of the business owners, then schools should remain closed as well.
You can't be a fear-mongering @sshole in a governor's mansion and then act surprised when people start to take your fear-mongering at face value.
Remind me again what food stamps are for.
Or, Cool, we can stop giving out food stamps!
The only ‘health’ impacts I see is that kids will have a lot more trouble obtaining contraceptives and girls will have a lot more trouble obtaining abortions without their parents knowing.
Other than that, it’s hard to see a health downside.
Babel babysitting brainwashing in panic.
Not sure yet.
What i’ve seen so far of their proposals is the kids would be treated like prisoners, way more than they normally are.
Our California school district is going to provide the free lunches while the kiddos home school. The lunches will be dropped off at two locations where the parents can pick them up from 11:30 to 1:00. One district employee will be at one location and a school board member will be at the other location.
Frankly, I think this is a real imposition on the parents. I mean expecting them to drive to pick up the free lunch! Really? That is just so unfair. The school district should contract with DoorDash to deliver the free meals to the kids. (yes, that last paragraph is me kidding!)
EVERY true liberal democrat was beyond willing to end these kids within the first 9 months of their existence. They’d even help do it. Of course they dont give a F about other peoples children. Its not in their capacity to do so.
Schools are also a great place to find infections early. Given enough testing.
Machiavellian? Nope, IMO, just good science.
The “Educators” will sue to stop the school year.
School food is nutritious????
Who knew?
My Local school district just agreed to a hybrid schedule this week, sending kids to school only two days, two days online, and now the teachers get a paid day off for the fifth day. Ridiculous! I wonder if there still time for them to reconsider and open five days a week and teach just like in previous years, but maybe this year actually teach now that everybody’s me focused on what they’re doing. Oh, but this is an election year and they will not agree to even talk about anything like that until after the election. All the across the country they want to hold us hostage to their Political grievances.
If schools don’t reopen, how will counselors be able to encourage students to come out and/or cross-gender?
I hope they both lose.
Let them stay home, they're getting transphobia from their families.
Better get them back in school ASAP.
