In states where hospitals are maxing out Florida, Texas, Arizona are some of them I don't think the Governors are going to allow schools to reopen they will just ignore Trump.
Trump's foolish behavior will continue to drive voters away from him until he is left with the extreme fringe of our society.
At my wife's school, anytime a student or teacher tests positive, every student and teacher in that class will have to quarantine for 14 days.
Won't all schools be practically closed by October if that happens? Even if they go back, it's not like they will be staying back if that is the reaction.
At a place like a middle school or high school, the whole school would come to a halt because they changes classes. If one teacher gets sick and has 7 periods of 30 students to teach, that's 1 teacher plus 210 students that have to stay home for 14 days. That's assuming none of the 210 students catch it from the teacher and give it to any one of the other teachers in their other classes and those classrooms have to quarantine too.
I just don't see how it can work. I think going back part time with a hybrid model, where not all the students are going to school at the same time (some are in class while others at home) and they can space them out would be the only way it could work. Short of quarantining everyone before school starts and make all schools sealed off boarding schools where no one comes in contact with the outside world.
I know the President doesn't like that, but it's either going to be that or all the schools shut down by October like you said because everyone is quarantining.
In the end "cutting funding" to schools is a bit of a hollow threat. I pay local property tax and that's what funds the schools where I live. The President doesn't control property taxes.
Those are my thoughts also. What's all the b*tching about cutting school funding if they aren't going to open?
Schools are using remote learning so they aren't closed do we need buildings nope. IMO that is the future of education online learning even before the virus 33% of collage students were taking online course.
Does Trump think he's Hitler, making old people and children expendable?
