The head of America's second-largest teachers' union is calling for all public schools to open 5 days a week this fall, pushing forcefully for in-person learning over the uneven progress made by the Biden admin.

Weingarten says she supports President Joe Biden and his efforts for reopening more public schools in his first 100 days in office. In an interview last month with NBC's"TODAY" show, Biden said that all schools should"probably" reopen this fall.of having most elementary and middle schools open for full, in-person learning, according to an Education Department survey, increasing from 46 percent of schools nationwide in January to 54 percent.

There also remain disparities among students of color, most of whom did not step foot in a classroom at all in March, the survey found. "While we've made important progress, I will not be satisfied until 100 percent of schools are safely open for full-time in-person learning for all students," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said this month.
