'I want to be in school. My colleagues want to be in school, but we want to do it safely,” one teacher said. “We are not able to do it safely.'

, stressing that the reopening must be done safely, following the advice of local health experts.

Now, a lot of older teachers may not want to come back to school in order to protect their own safety, said Lesley Lavery, an associate professor of political science at Macalaster College in St. Paul, Minnesota, who studies union-district relationships. "We continue to argue that the virus and the science should dictate when schools return to any form of in-person learning, especially since transmission and disease in children — particularly younger children — is not yet well understood," he said., which represents 3 million members, said it's not safe to go back into schools if infection rates haven’t gone down in a region, or if schools don’t have a plan to isolate students and educators who contract COVID-19.

How teachers do their work online should be negotiated in districts with bargaining agreements — but that rarely happened when schools moved online in mid-March, said Brad Marianno, an assistant professor of education policy and leadership at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

When things come to the children, nothing can be guaranteed, but it's worth to try, children need school.

Europe and Asia have opened schools where are the covid cases

Many districts have ancient buildings with poor ventilation and no air conditioning. School Funding had been down for years so infrastructure has been neglected. Imagine wearing a mask while trying to learn in a room with a 90 degree temperature.

For kid’s wellbeing, they need to go back to school. Students and parents can have the option to opt for online or in-person classes but they must have the OPTION. What if the inability to return to school forces a parent to lose their job/insurance? That’s a REAL health crisis.

How many cases of COVID-19 have been traced to school-age children? How many of those died due to it? Isn’t that the starting point for risk assessment?

Most of the teachers in my district are opting to return. We have a plan for masks and social distance. The district is offering full online for people. It's taking a lot of work but we are going to try.

In my country we had learning online and I spoke with a teacher about this. She said she have more works but safety comes first. We opened the borders and we shall see what will happen. Everyone’s safety should come first.

It’s not that hard. Longer school hours to spread out the amount of kids Online a few days a week will help. Class rooms need to be disinfected after every session. I can go on but it’s not impossible ,,

Back that camera up, yo!

Learning online will be the new normal which will take less teachers

This mayor looks scary each and every day. I think she’s auditioning for the remake of a movie. Lol

Trump has been killing adults with C19 through his intentional failure to follow CDC guidelines & by discouraging GOP Governors from doing what CDC recommends. Nearly 170,000 dead and even more disabled. Don't let him bully you into letting him kill and disable children too.

You had 3 months to come up with a plan, technically we had since the virus to do so but we was so focused on calling out Trump wrongs we couldn't make time for that. much like we so into a black female vp we don't have time to think about the people getting evicted.

There are other options and funding needs to go to parents so they can choose them. We found homeschool. charter, online school, and private teacher study groups work very well, and did from March thru May, but a lot of parents need $$ to access to them.

We are going to have to eschew regional schools and go back to community schools. Get the architects working on designs to reduce spread of illness. This is not our last pandemic and it might not even be our worst.

Lol! Happy Thursday. Simply put, ignore all this constant toxic hate speech online. Just block it out. Block out the negative. Surround yourself with the positive. Create your own opportunities. My living motto.

LEVITICUS 26 Our Creator promises 'rain in due season' etc. for obedience AND 5 x 7 curses for ignoring His wisdom and authority. ALL who ask to be saved shall be saved. Messiah-Jesus Christ, (Yahushua) shed His blood on Calvary to be the ONLY ACCEPTABLE blood sacrifice.

Things are getting ridiculous. Flatten the curve they said....let the kids go to school.

What about learning online with ease and safety?

Trump Can't Be Racist Because He Donated Money To Kamala Harris, Says Trump CampaignPresident Trump has already gleefully taken to calling Sen. Kamala Harris—Joe Biden’s official 2020 running mate— “nasty” and “mean,” but he must not have thought she was so bad when he donated $6,000 to her re-election campaign.\n And he’s friends with Kanye. You can be racist if you have acknowledged that someone is black. Noticing someone is black is the pinnacle of anti-racism

Trump suggests flu of 1918 ended WWII in 1945.JoeNBC on President Trump suggesting the Spanish Flu of '1917' ended WWII: “He’s ignorant of history ... He’s been ignorant of government, ignorant of diplomacy, and we have seen the effects of it now for over 3.5 years.” JoeNBC He’s not ignorant. No one is that stupid. He actually was around in 1945. So how could he possibly believe the flu epidemic and WWII coinicided? Think about it, if that happened that way, he would have seen people drop like flies when his family lived in Va Beach. JoeNBC Trump, walking down the middle of a street, holding up traffic, hears a voice in the distance... man: hey, you're blocking people! Trump: there's people? Man: yes, for crying out loud, and a city! Trump: There's a city? Man: and a whole planet!! Trump: There's a planet?
