Why are conservatives hell bent on sending kids back to school?
I thought public schools were greasy little marxism brain washing factories? lol

@HootyTheNightOwl edumacation made me this way!
@NoahB Or lack thereof... 🤷♀️
@Pikachu Case in point??? At the end of the day, the government knows that some children aren't getting a basic education at home - some of the poorest don't even have access to the Internet - so, how do you propose that these children are educated to any standard, much less the standard required to satisfy the law.
Some parents never even bothered to read the child's assigned reading book with them before Covid19 - do you think that they will educate their own offspring now???

Then maybe it's finally time to make internet like water and electricity since it's really a necessary resource at this point.
But the fact is that it's just not safe to put kids back in classrooms.
It sucks that some kids are being failed by their parents but classrooms are literally breeding grounds for disease at the best of times (ask any teacher) much less during a pandemic.
The risk is too great and it's irresponsible to pretend otherwise.🤷♀️

@Pikachu I see and agree with your concerns... I was just trying to argue for the other side, too.
I'm worried that there will be a second peak as the weather cools in September and schools are going to take a battering from this virus - of course, the children will take it home and its going to hammer those who were on the vulnerable people's list since March.
We need to improve home access to the Internet for those on welfare and the lowest earners so that they can access home education and search for jobs at home - until then, these people are forced to take stupid risks or get pushed further into hardship.
