A caravan of parents and their children descended on downtown Los Angeles Monday morning for a demonstration demanding the immediate reopening of schools.
“I want my kid to get an education,” parent Susanne Jacobson told KTLA. “He’s in eighth grade. He’s not ready for high school next year. He hasn’t had an education in a year. Distance learning is not working.”
Some protesters emphasized the toll on children’s mental health.
“It’s actually not OK, kids could get mental breakdowns, I hear some kids get depression from it,” said Brody Moos, a fourth-grader.
Remy Moos, who’s in third-grade, complained of the discomfort of online school.
“My eyes are on the screen too much, and it kind of hurts my brain,” the student said.
“We represent hundreds, if not thousands of schools here in Los Angeles County who have prepared to reopen our schools safely. And we want the opportunity to open our schools now,” said Tom Konjoyan, who’s head of the Village Christian School in Sun Valley and founded the coalition.

“A clearly articulated plan to provide vaccinations to school staff in the nation’s second largest school district, combined with the leadership Los Angeles Unified has already shown in preparing its campuses, can be a model for other school districts across the country,” Beutner said.
One small problem: There are not enough vaccines to "inoculate" all the teachers and staff.
So, school's out...
If you want 5hem to get an education don’t leave them with taxpayer funded baby sitters.
Education?
In L.A. publik skoolz?
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!
These kids should focus on training to be optometrists and psychologists. Going to be a growing field, and money can be made.
school’s out.
they are now food for the elite.
you chose wrong.
They have time to rally, but no time to help their kid crack a book.
No sympathy here, you get what you vote for.
No sympathy here, you get what you vote for.
Maybe you have sympathy for the Robinson family
They live here too
Sympathy? As if that’s going to somehow save or salvage California.
The fact is nothing will save that state. I waited 30 years for it to turn around and it became worse and worse. It’s why they flooded the state with millions of foreign nationals and illegal alien. They made damn sure it’s never going to turn around. Bet the rent.
“I want my kid to get an education,”
Why? What’s the point? The schools are just communist brain washing machines.
Wow parents want their children to get an education but don’t want to participate in said education when the time comes.
Excuse me, you want your kids to get an education? If that is true, you would get THEM out of school and unschool them. Yes, it might be hard (giving up your vacation to the Caribbean and vacation in Vail, get rid of the fourth car and moving into a smaller house instead of the McMansion you have) but your kids will know 2+2=4 instead of 2+2=Whatever you want it to be...
Dude, if they had all that their kids would be in private school, which are open...
bttt
Defund all federal dollars related to local education. Get their federal nosesout too. And, do you really need the state level? Public schools started with and for public communities. Fundamental.
well then... don’t send them to public school cesspits! Problem solved “HBO”
