The best outcome of the pandemic panic would be the total and complete destruction of public “education” in America.
Maybe they’ll be putting themselves out of work as parents make other arrangements to educate their children. One can only hope.
It isn’t about safety.
And a number of teachers have been arrested at these riots
Government/union schools are dead. We shall see who bails them out.
Air traffic controller went on strike. They were fired.
Umpires went on strike. They err replaced.
I’m sure there are plenty of newly graduated teachers who need a job.
If not, hire some out of work babysitters. That’s what teachers have become anyway, for the most part.
I hope that these morons destroy our public school system once and for all. Once it was the envy of the entire world. Now is is a corrupt, reeking propaganda indoctrination program.
Educate our children in private schools and figure out how to take care of the children of poor families, but the public schools need to be plowed into the ground and salted with the remains, just like Carthage.
The difference between now and a Strike is ?
If it’s anything like Fort Worth ISD, it’s a huge mess. As all school districts, FWISD suffers from too many “chiefs” and not enough “Indians” and all the chiefs have risen to their own level of incompetency. As such, they really have no idea what they are doing in trying to set up face-to-face instruction under the current guidelines. The only thing that will work is the virtual learning the teachers themselves have been perfecting for the last three months. My wife reported for work on her first required day, and nothing was working. Her computer was moved, her printer didn’t work, and the IT department was non-existent. And, nobody knew anything.
Total SHAMdemic.
Here are a list of articles collected, by various FReepers, on the ACTUAL chances of children infecting adults (sometimes known as TEACHERS)....
School Children Don’t Spread Coronavirus, French Study Shows

Such is why I switched my kids to private: can’t trust public schools won’t make decisions largely based on politics & hysteria.
I can understand the wariness teachers have of creating an online Moddle type class. Once it is created it can be reused repeatedly and because the curriculum doesn’t change much the program wouldn’t even need to be updated all that often. Classes can even be set up in a way that the program does the grading.
That means, you create the robotic program that does your job. The program could be used by unlimited numbers of students. It is completely unbiased and has no personality issues and would never abuse students.
Best of all. All teachers could be fired because they’d have been replaced by a machine.
Kids would learn at their own pace. School shootings would be a thing of the past because there would be no physical school to go.
No issues with bullying.
No Zero tolerance fiascos
No expulsions for wearing a conservative shirt.
School taxes would fall by 90%
What’s not to like?
And the proof of that is what or where?
A lot of districts are also wanting to delay returning to classes.
Oddly enough most of them have picked mid-September.
If a spike did occur that would be about the first week of October which leaves just enough time before the election for the progs to demand Fraud-By-Mail.
Ballots would have to be manually distributed because of the short time frame.
Then you would have millions of ballots floating around with no accountability on who gets them.

If they don’t teach, they don’t get paid.
One of the unintended consequences of this virus was the acceleration of the use of video conferences and teaching. Now that were all using it, they can’t put the genie back in the bottle and were all onto the scam of building schools and colleges and the billions of tax dollars that should no longer be needed to keeo these places open.
Trump should force these schools to close and develop online curriculum. Start by giving a bigger cut to the teachers by cutting all the administration.
Perhaps now is the optimal time to rid ourselves of the status quo and remove these bastards who are only interested in indoctrinating our young and start over from the ground up.
These pukes need to be left behind so that our future generations have a chance of Freedom and Prosperity instead of the current setup.
Plenty of options that are preferable to our current system.
Hopefully pod/private schooling will lead parents to see how it can be done without the indoctrination of teacher’s union goons who whine about how hard they work.
It’s all about time to riot, tan and drink
Of course, I’ve been saying since March that none of these schools and businesses ever should have been shut down in the first place ... so I want this fiasco with the teachers’ unions to be as disruptive as possible. I want to see strikes by teachers, irate parents shutting down school boards, municipal governments selling all their school property, and the children of this great country finally liberated at last.
If they don’t reopen the schools, I want the education portion of my property taxes refunded.
They’re all Maynard G. Krebs.
