My kids school was open all year. One covid case found since the new year and that was contracted outside of the school.

[alrightb]

Are the kidding, they are putting the children, teachers, parents in danger

[jello]

One week later

"Why are people getting sick?"

[paulstevens]

wow, see the results of your fear mongering

[EAMason-evpl]

Thank god teachers like these insist on safety first! Education doesn't work well if your student body has devolved to just bodies.

I could keep my daughter home all day, distance learning, she's disciplined and she knows what she needs to get done. She's been exposed to some very scary viruses/bugs over the years and has missed weeks of school, but when she's home she stays healthy.

[kevinfox]

Gee I wonder where he bought all those clothes? Walmart where people work every day. Get back to work, teachers!

[jollyradtv]

half of the school year is already over. why not finish up the other half remote, so that children and teachers are safe for little longer? Now, incompetent people may not agree with me.

[whcchw]

I don't understand why now, they (children and faculty) need to be back in a formal school setting after 0% improvement in Covid cases?

[DevinsDen]

So keep social distancing and give them their vac. Why should they get to stay home while everyone else has to go to work? Ive been working entirely through the pandemic along with tons of others. Why cant they do both online and in class. The kids that want to go to school let them . Record a live video for those who wish to stay home. Kids gotta socialize.

Forcing teachers back to school shame on y'all.

[williamtrump]

Weird thing the local high school sports teams are all playing...

[painexotic]

Chicago teachers are so entitled. They're some of the highest paid in the nation yet are always asking for more, more, more. What's the point of paying taxes if you don't get your money's worth? Kids need to be in school. This is costing alot of money to parents who can't afford to keep paying people to watch their kids since young kids can't be kept at home. On top of that, kids need to socialize. This will mess up their development smh

[ras]

These kids if kept out, will miss major developmental skills that might make our kids never grow up be adults and responsible. We litterally don't know the cost, but there always been a topic how summer vacation is too long and those effects. What about that?

[rowstone]

All of a sudden were opening schools. Screw that.

[lisamedlyn]

As a teacher I am.so sorry to the staff.

[chuckruckus]

But but the left said they’d reopen schools! Nope! Florida Texas Schools been open all YEAR and kids played music and sports and loved life. So SAD for these blue areas kids

[aidena]

Do these teachers not realize the impact that online schooling has on these kids? Or do they just not care. Do what you get paid for like everyone else in the country

[jackaxe]

Wtf is school opening during a pandemic?

[MidnightRambler]

teaching union...yuck pushing racial bs
