I wrote my school board last night and begged them to open the schools. They likely won’t (will decide today) and will likely offer only 100% “distance learning” which I’ve already been to last Spring and means posting one assignment a week, no tests and not grades and no teaching. FOR HIGH SCHOOL.
I feel like those nations in Africa that struggle to get their girls education. I can’t believe the United States has fallen this far.
I will write Betsy Devos today and President Trump and beg for an Executive Order that requires/encourages the reopening of schools as he did for the meat packing plants. Surely the education of children in the US are as important as eating pork chops.
Europe and Asia reopened schools successfully—why wouldn’t the US? Do we value our children so little?
I’ve already moved my teen girl to a private small Christian school nearby, but I care about other children more than my own.
Think of it—now millions of LA children will be roaming the streets this next year or playing video games. I read 40% don’t have wifi to even do “distance learning” and teachers put some videos on PBS last Spring.
It’s awful.
They don’t want any teachers or students to be at risk of death, so close off education to everyone but the homeschooling, which they will eventually make illegal too to ensure that no one is going to school.
