Is your trailer drafty? Must be cold this time of year 

Your response to trying to help students get back into school where they learn best is to mock the messenger? Wow you are smaller than I thought. Students need to be back in school, especially those without role models at home. In Orange county the schools with millionaires and billionaires have the highest percent of students face to face and it is a direct correlation in regards to wealth. The gap from my children to the average at home kid this year will be huge and the only real first step is get them back into school.

There is ample evidence now to indicate little kids harbor a lot of virus but aren’t significant sources of spread.  Elementary schools should open but still with masks and distancing as a precaution.

This is a really stupid response. He was calling Democrats rats, and I'm suppose to take anything he says serious? Go fly a kite

You are upset he capitalized a letter? 🤣

You in the past 2 months have called Republicans so many slurs I am not sure if this is a serious response. How about let me know your thoughts on what I have said?

Weak dodge. I responded in kind and you had a little hissy fit. 😅

Once again how about discuss the meat of the article? 

Ok. My plan was to open the schools in summer, hold as many classes as possible outside, and slow things down more in cold weather. But, that would never get done for many reasons

Why not just open the schools for those who want to go and allow an online option? What evidence now indicates schools are a place where the illness is spread.

I like that idea for the older kids more, for the younger ones I like my idea more.

 

The evidence is that the kids can spread the virus like anyone

Who is going to teach these online classes? Who is going to create the course material? Who is going to grade the work and provide feedback?

Certainly not the teachers who are already teaching in-person classes and are already overwhelmed with more responsibilities than they have time.

Are you going to simply find hundreds of thousands of qualified educators who are willing to work long hours for low pay and then compensate them with money that doesn't exist?

Why are they getting paid at all right now based on a social contract that is completely trashed. 

 

Would the tax payers vote to fund this situation?

You break the classes up as fully online or fully in person as much as possible. Most assignments for higher level kids are not much different online or in person and the biggest issue is cheating on tests. Simon I am curious what state you live in- I will not trash your state but I am curious

I'm in Pennsylvania.

I'm also married to a long time science teacher and see how hard she works every day to make this happen for her kids.

No offense, but your assumptions re: education simply do not bear any resemblance to reality.

My wife is a 20 year teacher and I have been a math teacher for 8 years at an alternate high school with only low achieving kids. I don't make assumptions, I live it but thanks for your assumptions. I appreciate what your wife does but your state has an online option- which is why I asked- that is structured differently but is generally better that trying to force the round peg through the square hole. https://www.pavcsk12.org/academics/high-school

I obviously do not know what your wife is going through but a district that supports a teacher can make it much easier.
