As far as I know .... not a one .... but it's the wrong time of the year for the average American to comprehend the situation because they HAVE been forced to come up with lesson plans and etc.

The fact is, NEVER in American history has an American child been out of established school for the seven months they've BEEN out and there seems to be no viable plan for public schools to open again .... perhaps EVER .... normally ........................................................ ....................................................................

We're in the middle of a renaissance and no one knows what we'll look like on the other side.

There's a lot of damage that can be done between now and January .... a LOT .... and I honestly don't have that much faith in the American people to keep our heads on and above water.

Raises a question. How many public school teachers have missed a paycheck, the last few months?

Most teachers have a thinned out salary so as to get paid over the summer, instead of just the nine or ten months they actually work. I can't say for every district, but the ones in the DFW area have been paying full-time teachers and salaried staff, many of whom had to still work (such as school nurses having to go in every time someone had to go to the school, to supervise that all the teachers and people were actually using hand sanitiser. Dumb). Hourly staff such as office assistants, janitorial/maintenance services, have been only getting paid for when they're needed to come in, which is severely reduced hours. Of course, they're usually used to not working over summer as is, so only maybe two months of reduced hours. Substitute teachers have been getting almost nothing. I think a story back in March/April said LA Schools were paying their subs a little bit, but that's the only one I've heard of for subs.
