President Donald Trump has spent the past two weeks demanding — often in all caps on Twitter — that American schools reopen this fall.
Florida's Miami-Dade County Public Schools — touted as a model by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for its comprehensive reopening plan — is offering up to five days of in-person learning, along with an online option. But the superintendent now is casting doubt on the possibility of kids returning to classrooms on the first day of school if the city remains the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, though Florida’s new reopening planin August for at least five days per week for all students.
"We want teachers and students to be face-to-face, as much as safely possible," said Rep. Rosa DeLauro , the head of the congressional panel that controls education spending, on Monday. "In some states around the nation with a virus that is out of control, we cannot simply open schools based on the statements of the secretary of education."
Anyone find it agrivating that the W.H.O and the C.D.C reported a few months ago that covid Does Not Survive in the air tempature over 45°f. Here it is summer and we are wearing Masks are they painting us as fools?
BUNKER KING DONALD: Don't let school districts, teachers, parents tell you what to do. Call out National Guard & forcibly bring children to school. You know what is best: look at JUNIOR and ERIC. You must be a proud parent. Greed is good.
Horrible idea based on TDS & not rational thinking.
America’s biggest school systems are rejecting our children. American Association of Pediatrics recommends school opening. The “listen to science” crowd are a bunch of Hypocrites. Our children will suffer, and they don’t care.
The vast majority of students don’t learn through virtual learning. It’s a small percentage that can do so. If they aren’t going to the classroom, just extend summer break a few months. Make the non-learning official, instead of pretending virtual learning works for all children.
Gee, what if they reopened schools and no one showed up?
Thank God!he's not fit to lead a dog down a dog trail let alone leave this country anywhere we have got to get him out of here in November
Its like the little kid who tells his stepdad, 'u ain't the boss of me!'
Teachers Unions are the enemy of the American Society. They are failing our children to score political points and to gain power. It is going to backfire on them. People are waking up.
People, people, people! Donald Trump doesn't care about school, your children, or this virus. He just wants to get things back the way they were so he can make his claim. And, this is a fight he would rather be dealing with other than him being a TRAITOR!
Trump has no idea of how to safely to open schools. He just likes to spew nonsense.
States Rights FTW amirite
He does not have the legal capacity to force open schools. Its not in his job scope. Welcome to America.
Teachers can’t safely interact with members of the public. But grocery store workers can. Frequently minorities, mostly poor grocery store workers can. Fuck the teachers unions, they’re self-interested vermin. Get your kids OUT of these schools.
Trump seems to want as many Americans as possible to die before he leaves office. A very vindictive, cruel man.
He had no power to steal that $2.5 billion from the dod for that stupid wall, but he did it anyway
the schools which are closing are NOT REJECTING realDonaldTrump ... they're rejecting the KIDS & Parents they're being paid to SERVE: the DEBATE should be HOW to open schools & minimize contagion at the same time: I would SPLIT the kids into 2 groups EACH doing 2 days in class
Let us know when they reopen the White House for public visits and when the First Lady will be available to read to kindergarten kids. I still won't be sending my kid. I just want to know when to start the next outbreak watch.
Note to self, if you ever become POTUS, have some idea about how government works before you threaten people with stuff you have no power to do. Also, don't be an incompetent narcissist.
Good thing they listen to science and not the imbecile in the WH.
Is it me, or is just about everyone in America smarter than Trump? Sad
Los Angeles and San Diego school districts will start school virtually as coronavirus surges in the area. SaveTheChildren ScrewTrump
But parents and taxpayers will have plenty to say.
Send his kid to a public school. His family as well.
Teacher's unions and Democrats want schools closed. Teacher's don't want to work(but want to get paid)....and Dems want Trump out.
The president has no recourse here because schools are directed by local officials. A fact that will be ignored when the left demands Trump close the schools and Joe makes ADs demanding the same.
I mean....the rest of the world has opened schools. At least parents should get the money from the school districts so they can educate them at home.
Reject his dumb ass in November, too.
The White House has issued guidelines. Follow the guidelines. Make choices about your school district based on your circumstances. If you can open safely, you should. If you cannot, do not.
Hahahah live it, stick it to the man
