Biden Opening Schools

Walt

Back To Reality
Presidents do not have the power to force open schools. Schools are controlled by local governments, with colleges controlled by state government and private boards. The Federal Government controls a few schools (West Point, and schools on military bases abroad), but very, very few.

trump tried to open schools for a year, and failed completely. The problem was he made threats, and hid information.

Biden is trying to get reasonable plans out there, and is responding to governing agencies concerns. In just three weeks, I have seen multiple colleges agree to open for in class learning this Fall. Before none were willing to commit to that, they were playing it by ear. Primary and secondary schools are opening in phases starting in a few weeks. Republicans complain that students will only go in one day a week at first, but that is a full day more than trump was able to get. As trust rises, it will be more days.

There are several problems coming. England shutdown their schools, again, because they found the new strain was more transmittable by younger people than the old strain. We are getting the new strain, so plans might change a month from now.

But we are moving in the right direction.
 
HE MOST CERTAINOLY IS NOT; HE IS ANKLE GRABBING FOR THE TEACHERS' UNIONS, WHO ARE LOVINGNTHEIR YEAR LONG PAID VACATION.

ONE DAY A WEEK..BY THE MIDDLE OF MAY...IS NOT "OPENING THE SCHOOLS, EXCEPT TO MORONS LIKE YOU.

All caps doesn't make it true.

Most teachers would rather be in person with their students. Virtual instruction is not a vacation, not even close.

Just dumb

Teachers are teaching classes online, so not a year long holiday. Having students come in for one day a week, but different days for different students, means teachers are in school 5 days a week. Every day, they would be teaching 80% of the students online, and 20% offline. That would be increased until they were teaching 100% offline.

But the main point is that it is not a "year long paid vacation". They are working now. I think teaching online is easier, but teaching both online and offline might be harder. Either way, the Alt Right has nothing to contribute to this discussion but meaningless rants.

So why when he was asking for our vote was he often found promising that which he does not have the power to deliver?

That sounds like lying to me.

Biden promised to come up with plans to safely open schools, and to try to convince local schools of those plans. He is already delivering on that. Three weeks in, and already the colleges around here are planning on opening for in class learning in the Fall. When trump was president, they were not planning for Fall.

( you need skool) every day 20% of the kids would be at school
meaning kids would be out of school 80% of the time.

And online is a waste for kids under high school age
Biden is dithering as usual. making this his "goal" is laughable

wait a minute what happened to Spring? why would any school be planning a year ahead?

weve HAD PLANS. Many schools are open - here in Florida ive seen school buses at least since the holidays

The blue state governors are hapless, send mo money for protection isnt needed,
schools are a poor place for transmission

Online education is a mixed bag. Not as good as we would all like, but not a waste like you claim.

Biden is sending students back to school in an organized way, not like trump who was completely useless.

He has no plan....Local schools/colleges are doing what is best for them...as they always have..nothing to do with him....

Many colleges have fall, and spring semester. Spring semester has already begun, so nothing can be done about that. Fall semester is the next major semester.

Schools with quarters would have a fall, winter, and spring quarter, with spring quarter still to come. They do not believe that the vaccine and controls will be in place by the spring.

The situation is far more complex than that.

That is not what I am hearing. Biden has reassured colleges that they will get vaccines by the Fall. Maybe he is wrong, but his administration returns phone calls, and allows contacts with career civil servants.

Biden is not sending kid back to school...period...
Online learning is for a very specific type of student...most certainly not the majority....this year is pretty much a wash....
You should realize that....you're a parent, correct?

You're free to believe what you like....

the real problem with not having in person schooling is the lack of socialization that is so important for kids to learn, along with basic facts and school related topics. but what gets me is how most people who used to brag about how they home-schooled their kids so they would not be around dangerous kids or exposed to liberal brainwashing, and those who supported them, were almost all the same, loudest trump stooges who cry about kids being forced to home school now......if they think they can blame a democrat for it.

trump has failed our students very badly. It will take time for Biden to turn this around... But there is another force entering the picture.

UK Prime Minister Johnson was adamant that schools not be closed. He got as many schools open as possible. Then he saw the evidence of infections with the new strain of Covid-19, and immediately shutdown all schools. There is preliminary evidence that the new strain is more infectious with children than the old strain. Everything is preliminary at the moment, but it is not looking good.

Very true....But keep in mind that many people who home school are still active with the extra curricular activities and "socialization" with the "dangerous kids" at what would be their children's "home school"....
If by "blaming a democrat" you mean unions....well, call it like it is....
