DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN BACK TO SCHOOL
Especially with the psychological torture of masking, social distancing, and fear based mind control they will endure….These people belong in jail…
kathy kelly shut up sheep
Most kids don’t care about this fake virus so stfu
Tom Brady 6x Super Bowl Champion With language like that I’m glad you didn’t either
This is a damned if you do and damned if you don’t situation. Kids need the social stimulation but are also being exposed to the illness. I can see both sides of wanting to home school vs public school. Every situation is unique. I truly feel for all the parents out there on making the decision.
@kathy kelly Not in my state
I have to do what is best for my children so I will be homeschooling them this upcoming year if schools do not continue with distance learning. We dont know the long term affects of even a mild form of Covid-19 and kids have still died from contracting it. I will be damned if I risk either scenario with my babies. I’ll never trust what that insane narcissist in his WH demands, he cares only for his image and could care less about millions of innocent lives in this country. This administration and school districts can demand to reopen all they want, but Homeschooling is the only option for my household.
Socializing is NOT worth a child’s life. That isn’t even a good enough reason to reopen schools.
@Terris Terris Thank you!
@bpxl53yewz EXACTLY!! THANK YOU!! THEY CAN’T SOCIALIZE!! SOMEONE GETS IT!!!❤😊
You guys can show us all day long how to “safely go to school” but as a mother of two with asthma there is NO WAY IN H*LL my kids are going back to school in the Fall. Homeschooling is going to be very prevalent this year.
Donny doesn’t care about the assassinations of our Troops! You think he cares about our CHILDREN? We’re using them as canaries for these old farts in the GOP? They WANT THE MONEY. 1000 are DYING every day! . . . Don’t do this, America . . .
Now that’s the right move. Healthy kids go to school (Without the Cone of Shame masks) and unhealthy kids stay home. That’s how it should be.
I greatly appreciate your stance. I wish that orange clown thought/felt this way.
Well whatever you do don’t let them have the “vaccine” for this cold virus…This one will cause a lot worse than asthma….
@Lucius Kiirus My kids are healthy. What you don’t seem to understand is that healthy kids then bring the virus back to their mothers and fathers and grandparents who may get sick and die.
Lol these will NEVER work. Adults can’t even wear masks without making a big deal about it. You think kids are r going to follow the “rules”. HA
@Logic B4Religiondont be stupid. In every society there are idiots. Dont be naive.
Imagine if we went on rationing. People are so spoiled and the government has regulated everything so much that we’d have no choice but to whine and protest. We are incapable of providing for ourselves these days. As if Victory Gardens would ever be a real thing again. We are spoiled while the government has taken a lot away at allowing us to provide for ourselves. We don’t even realize how screwed we are.
Sometimes kids can be more reasonable than adults
@Marco Arreola you said it urself “sometimes”. It only takes one person to spread it.
@Debra Jensen I partially agree with you but what do you believe that the government has taken away?
Wow… where are they building schools like that? We were packed like sardines when I was in school. 🙂

Kids are still packed like sardines!
Still packed like sardines worst now
@HereRIGHTmatters That’s pretty much like my high school experience. Thanks for confirming that times haven’t changed that much for the average student.
Reopening schools is a very bad move. Children with prior health problems like lung diseases and asthma are at higher risks. Smart parents would not send their kids to school during the pandemic.
@David Williams thats not the point. It makes life unbearable for many and theres a greater chance of kids committing suicide *because* of the disability those illnesses cause and that is proven several times over. Theres more suicide risk from chronic illness than being hit by a car.
Trump: I love the uneducated!
Steven Miller: We have a plan to get rid of teachers sir!

Better to catch it later when they understand it more and I can be guaranteed a hospital bed.. already they are seeing ventilators are causing damage to the lungs
@Ms. Byrd These parents have to do something during the summer when the kids are not in school. I am sure they could figure it out. Schools are not babysitters and we want everyone to be safe.
@Georgia Zarifes Your not wrong, during the ‘summer’ many parents tap OTHER resources but as a Sole Parent (my child’s grown now) I remember not having ‘backups’ and having to teach a too young child how to make his own cereal. I remember his face in the window waiting for me to come back from ‘PT’.
You say you want everyone to be safe but what the poor hear is you don’t care if our kids die or bring that VIRUS home and kill all of us. Money has to follow an order to open schools; and you must understand… You can’t MAKE me send my child into a ‘dangerous’ situation! You cannot make TEACHERS return to UNSAFE environments.
Many of you who are complaining can afford to keep your kids at home or are sending them to schools where it can be made safe! ‘THESE PARENTS!’ means your NOT one of them! So of course, it’s EASY for you to say….
If people are smart they wouldn’t send their kids to school but we all know the braindead bunkertard parents would allow their kids to go.
@Kimberly Newton so as a teacher you wont mind when you dont get paid or at least take a massive paycut to do a halfassed job remote teaching like the end of this school year. Then use your big brain to figure out how to compensate me for the time I’m not working, with all the overtime I’ve gotten since covid your looking at about 95k. Get back to me.
Are you Korean by chance lol
You seem to know a lot, got any anime recommendations?
Some ppl have to go to work and cant stay home all day with their kids.
@Amanda Wallace I know that it’s difficult, but parents manage to find childcare when school is not in session during the summer and the many other school breaks. I’d be lining up childcare if I had young kids and couldn’t be home with them.
If COVID numbers keep going up the way they are now, there’s no way on gods green earth I’m sending my two high school kids to school in the fall!! No way!!
And online school is just a horrible learning system.
Solstice of Snow In person is worse..
Perk Here I have no idea what that means. Care to elaborate?
Perk refers to in person as in sending theminto a learning envirnment. This is actually way better than online school, considering that students can make friends, have contact with others, teachers can explain and guide them in the subjects, and have the possibility of doing new things to get a hands on expirence about the subject.
Online school has none of those things. But you will get a bunch of paper work and feel like you are stuck in a cubical and forced to fill out stuff and learn why the DMV is so slow and why the workers there have conversations with each other on a regular basis.
to the first question, your child has had 16 years of socialization, why would you risk his health and yours on his last year?
Sheep
Dont understand. Are you pro going back, or pro stay at home. ? I think you are saying stay at home.
And no one mentions the school shootings that are soon to follow. Alot of deranged kids out there.
@Pilot Let’s bubble-wrap the world
@John Smith that’ll work!
Be real: there’s no way kids will maintain social distancing and rigorously use masks at school, never mind all the surfaces that are touched thousands of times at school.
@Marcela Vargas no child will be ruined if they stay home for awhile. Governor Andrew Cuomo is the guy to follow. When this all began, and numbers much lower, it was a no brainer. Everyone knew kids needed to stay home. Until Doctor Trump disagrees with doctors, and experts. Then they all scramble to agree with him and drop off their integrity at the WH. Except a few. Who are willing to stand up to him. All across the globe they KEPT KIDS HOME. There’s safe things parents can do to socialize their kids in a pandemic. I homeschooled my kids and they are fine. It’s a false narrative that kids can’t miss school and still be ok. Kids used to miss school for harvest. Kids are resilient and can catch up. Plus a child can learn from home. It’s ridiculous to think they will be forever harmed if they don’t go to school during a pandemic to save lives. Only 2% will die, they say.
@Marcela Vargas Here’s and alternative. Stop talking out of both sides of your mouth. You are literally asking me to not listen to the government, and in the same breath, demanding our kids go back to government approved conformity factories. Educate them yourself, you know, like a parent. And maybe this moment in time isn’t meant for socializing. In case you forget, it was the social distancing that almost had us out of this mess. The curve was about flattened, but then came a holiday weekend followed by police brutality and a presidential rally or two. And here we are. I don’t need the fucking government to tell me how to deal with this. They are the very definition of incompetent. That said, everything I have researched, free from bias and personal desire, has led me to see that sending the kids back to school in the middle of a pandemic that, as you pointed out, has no cure. Keep telling yourself you have this all figured out though. Hope your family survives.
BTW, who is threatening to cut school funding for not opening? The federal government. So, if we aren’t supposed to trust them, then why are you so for sending your kids back?
@Fabled Creature Why would I call the hospital to get numbers? That’s like asking the used car salesman if the clunker he is selling is an good. Also, lets not go with your made up numbers. Lets go with the real ones. 86% of people never knew the had WuFlu and 99.74% survive just fine. The death rate is going down and they will not go up just because the hospital is admitting people who don’t need to be there.
Yes, the whole world is in on the Communist WuFlu scam. Brazil is a 3rd world sh!tHole and comparing them to civilized America is illogical. WuFlu is a scamDemic for political purposes. Stop freaking out
@Lucius Kiirus 10 stars for you sir
@Lucius Kiirus Many hospitals in the hardest hurt states, especially Florida, Texas, and Arizona are near or at capacity for ICU beds. In some places they are so desperate to find places to take critically ill Covid-19 patients that they are having to send them to hospitals in other states. Doctors are beginning to have to make horrible choices when they have 10 very ill Covid-19 patients and only 3 available ICU beds. What do you think is going to happen to those other 7 patients? First infections spiked, then the number of positive cases spiked, now hospitalizations are spiking. Deaths will follow, with the death numbers increasing rapidly over the next few weeks.
By the way, what do you suppose will happen to the heart attack and stroke victims and the regular flow of critically ill patients when all of three ICU beds are full of Covid-19 patients and the doctors and nurses can’t be stretched any further? Then you have a situation like Italy had, and instead of a 4 – 6% fatality rate, you can have a 10% death rate.
Stay home when you don’t need to be out. When you do leave your home, wear a mask in public and maintain a 6 foot distance whenever possible. Wash your hands often and avoid touching your face. It’s not that difficult and it’s the bare minimum of what we should be able to expect other citizens to do to help us deal with the disease and to help keep each other alive.
if I were a 50+ teacher, I’d take an early retirement, kids are well known germ factories 🦠🦠🦠
i work in a district and all 60+ teachers in my school retired (4) compared to the normal 1
So why retire ? If you have been a teacher for 30+ years, that means your immune system is better than most. Stay and ask for a pay rise 🙂
They can’t afford to.
That’s true without the Coronavirus.
Who can retire at 50, especially teachers?
That isn’t viable for the majority. I think if teachers are made to return to in-person teaching then they also deserve hazard pay.
They should just keep schools closed honestly I don’t know why there waisting their time to open schools just keep them closed
No. You open schools and let those willing to go go. Do you own research and look at all media outlets when doing so then make your decision. Have absolutely no concern with my kid going back
John Smith And I suppose you’ll have no concern when your child is fighting for their life in the ER
@BaseballJaZZ why do you care
@John Smith here in the UK were only just starting to open schools. America is nowhere near ready to re open
@A Velociraptor with internet you got a license for that butter knife, mate?
Demonstrating how schools can open safely is just a waste of time in a country where everyone is so infatuated with THEIR rights.
It is denying them their rights to separate from their friends or to wear a mask, and America is a land of MY RIGHTS. The thing is, they forget everyone else has tights too.
Schools open in Australia and without the social distancing and masks, close after a few days when an infection is found.
The only school I know of in South Africa is a boarding school, they maintain strict social distancing and mask wearing and other health precautions…and they are staying open!
I know a lot of parents that are in their late 40s and even 50s with kids in school. And lots of parents with underlying health conditions, the kind that increase the risk for severe covid. If you think your kid would have a hard time staying out of school, think about how hard it would be on them if they had to face a parent dying because they brought the virus home.
Home school or distance learning, NO in-person classes. Keep your children safe please!
How are they going to learn then?
Zoom meetings
I can’t learn from online my grades will drop drastically my math grade went from a 99 to a 69 in a course of 3 months because a lot of the stuff I couldn’t learn
@ITZ_ICY_GAMING Why?
There is not a possible way to safely open school… Teachers shouldn’t be responsible, for teaching common sense, empathy, school content… Then be responsible for protecting students from school shooters, because those will probably return and I’m suppose to go full ms frizzle and protect them from viruses too?!
I’ll do you guys a favor and keep my son at home.. social distancing, wearing a masks is something he can only do when I’m with him ..
Melodious Ramblings, I’m with you 100%.
THIS PANDEMIC WILL END AT SOME POINT IT IS TOO EARLY TO BE SO DRAMATIC ABOUT OPENING SCHOOLS… RELAX AND FIX THE PROBLEM FIRST… STOP FORCING DANGEROUS OPENINGS… THAT IS WHY THE COUNTRY IS A MESS NOW

You are willfully ignorant- we have not even made it through the first phase
We should be spending our time building fantastic online lessons especially for science.
Can’t like this comment enough! We patience and perseverance to get us through this health crisis!
Can’t open windows at schools that are in 90+ degree weather. Another thing if anyone in classroom including teacher comes down with Covid everyone in the classroom has quarantine for 14 days
Exposing a child with asthma to covid…. easy. My asthmatic kid is getting online school.
Schools have a hard time with lice how can they possibly deal with covid
