Biden wants schools open 5 days a week by May—and suggested summer school

President Joe Biden said Tuesday he’s pushing for many U.S. elementary and middle schools to reopen full-time by the end of his first 100 days in office, and he raised the idea of keeping schools open over the summer, a tonal change after the White House was criticized for suggesting schools could offer as little as one day per week of in-person classes by springtime.

High schools could take somewhat longer to reopen, Biden acknowledged, because older students are more likely to transmit Covid-19.Biden has pledged to reopen classrooms after a coronavirus-imposed hiatus, phasing out the months of hybrid or fully virtual instruction some students have endured, but many critics and parents worry his plan is too slow.

Ups. Need to deliver a Biden upgrade...

This is a lie. Why do you keep tweeting this? He said we would be better off by the summer. He was talking about the summer school programs hopefully being able to go maskless.

That’s cool. My two are staying home

Many schools have been up and running already. Leave education to education people.

Biden Says He Wants K-8 Schools Open Five Days a WeekPresident Biden said he expects a “significant percentage” of K-8 schools to reopen five days a week within his first 100 days, after the White House said last week that in-person instruction one day a week would fulfill its pledge. why? because Covid afraid of him? Lol. I guess he got word that the 50% of kids back one day a week thing went over like a lead balloon with parents. It was also an example of their crazy low goals they set for themselves... That 50% has already been achieved. Many states have been back 5 days a week all year. Why the rush? Bodies are still piling up everyday.

Joe Biden says schools should be open in the fallThe president weighed in on the reopening of K-12 schools during an exclusive interview with TODAY's Craig Melvin addressing the challenges and accomplishments of his first 100 days in office. Hell my kids have been in school since last fall. No issues. A few positive cases here and there. Zero spread to others while in school and no lasting issues for those who were positive. So he says schools should be open in the fall? How pathetic! Schools in my area have been open and teaching 5 days a week! Catholic and Private open even before that! A day late and dollar short Joe! Keep letting the teacher unions tell you what to do! SAD! He’s taking quite a strong stance with his Maybe answers. Walk the middle and see which way the wind blows. Maybe but I’ll leave it to them. Sure is tough to commit to leadership answers

Biden hits schools goal even as many students still learn remotelyEducation Secretary Miguel Cardona applauded the nation’s progress but also drew attention to racial disparities, saying schools must do more to reach all students.

Biden reframes goal on reopening of elementary schoolsPresident Joe Biden is predicting that most elementary schools will be open five days a week by the end of his first 100 days in office, even amid the pandemic. He spoke in Milwaukee during his CNN town hall. no idea why any teacher would get within 100 feet of a classroom with unvaccinated children if they weren't fully vaccinated themselves, it's a kamikaze mission, it's insanity, and it should be against the law. if these teachers don't strike, i don't know what to tell you. Isn't it amazing to watch and listen to a President who is lucid, thoughtful and wise How did the U.S. survive four years with moron Trump in the White House? Let's always have an adult as President moving forward!! Biden PresidentBiden 🇺🇲 shutup
