Wow, shutting down schools? My daughter has just been going from home. Shutting down schools altogether seems like the GOP dream.

Wasn't it you fags that said you would eliminate the Secretary of Education?

Right wingers are mad because they can't get their socialist day care lol.

"My schools!".

"If states and cities put strong public health measures in place that we all follow, then my team will work to see that the majority of our schools can be open by the end of my first 100 days."


"If a condition that everyone knows is unrealistic is satisfied, then we might perhaps be able to end the school closures after more than 3 months."

In other words: under his plan, they would probably stay closed for far more than 100 days, something like 180 or so sounds more realistic if America really went for the proposed strategy.

I have to agree with others, this is insanity. The lack of learning, socializing, stimulation for our children would have catastrophic long-term ramifications. On top of that, it would also exacerbate inequality since kids with educated parents are at a huge advantage in a home schooling environment, compared with those whose parents have little formal qualification, perhaps dont even speak proper English, etc. Dito when it comes to housing: children living in a big house with a big garden could cope with staying at home for 100 days, those living in crowded apartments where they share a room with 2 siblings cant.

Feel bad for working parents, childcare ain’t cheap. Vaccinate the high risk people ASAP and open the schools by spring.

Wait, who says that childcare facilities would be open during this period? What's the point in closing schools when the kids go there instead, meet other children and infect each other anyway? You'd still have contact bridges between otherwise isolated families, would still have extra traffic for parents bringing their children there or picking them up, and so on.

Shame that state governments can't be expected to put health measures in place and we can't rely on congress to allocate funding.

Its definitely an unrealistic set of goals, but only because the GOP is not a party interested in governing.

Funding cannot replace a lack of socializing, a lack of education on the part of the parents, or a crowded housing situation. It's also no short-term remedy for the lower effectiveness of virtual learning compared with in-person learning. :rolleyes:

State governments can be expected to put health measures in place, yes - but prolonged school closures are not a sensible health measure, the collateral damage is far too huge.

If you put sensible health measures in place you get to open schools.

Fuck you guys are bad at reading when politics happens.
