In January 2021 President Joe Biden pledged to re-open schools by the end of April 2021. His plan included providing school districts with necessary funding to reconfigure classrooms for social distancing, procuring protective equipment and devising plans to accommodate at-risk teachers and students. Biden’s plan was praised by the two major national teachers unions. Opponents argue that children should immediately return to school since the coronavirus is not harmful to children and point out that the CDC’s infection fatality rate for people under the age of 19 is .003%.

@8TFMF6G3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if the percentage of vaccinated students and teachers is above a significant percentage.
@8TFJVFC3yrs3Y
Given that government run schools are indoctrination camps they should be closed forever. Homeschool your kids.
@8TFCX4C3yrs3Y
We need to focus on reducing covid-19 cases and we have to support students and families currently atending school online in lockdown.

Yes, with no restrictions.

No, in person learning should be replaced by online learning.

@8TD7LR33yrs3Y
Yes, but take necessary precautions and make wearing effective masks mandatory for non-vaccinated students. Vaccinated students may or may not choose to wear one.
@8TC39K63yrs3Y
The next question is easier than this
@8TC2MRR3yrs3Y
Government shouldn’t be involved in education, and shouldn’t be segregating based on vaccination.
@8TBNF3N3yrs3Y
That is a decision that should be made by the parents, students, teachers and administrators of a given school.
@8TBCS9X3yrs3Y
Yes, but only after a CDC-recommended vaccination rate is achieved.\
@8TBB88C3yrs3Y
Yes AND also offer an in-person option.
@8T9X4WY3yrs3Y
yes when it is deemed acceptable to do so.
@8T9W9L6Libertarian3yrs3Y
Yes, only in person learning should be allowed.
@8T9RK693yrs3Y
it depends on the state and city
@8T9Q9P53yrs3Y
Yes, and their shouldn’t be a choice between online learning and in person. It should be fully in person because if online is a choice, everyone else has to use the awful remote system.
Yes, but with vaccination requirements and the option to continue e-learning.
@8T922WYRepublican3yrs3Y
Theycan stay closed if they want to. Less brainwashing that way.
All depends on the state and the current risk of COVID-19.
@8T8KF763yrs3Y
This ia a difficult one for me for example my daughter is 9 and autistic. She has to take medications very heavy ones and I have to worry how would this affect her. I work in a school as well you have children that need to be in school like my daughter she could not understand why she could not go to school. You also have those that for religious reasons. It is very difficult I am vaccinated for my children at home as well as for school.
@8T8GGS6Libertarian3yrs3Y
School districts should get a choice if they want to reopen, but only vaccinated and mask wearing kids can show up.
@8T8DNPP3yrs3Y
Allow local districts to decide and also allow as a choice
@8T423S53yrs3Y
Yes, but only if all students and teachers do COVID-19 selftests
@jacob763yrs3Y
Yes, but we should first reform the current system to move toward more of learning trades then general education allowing students to learn skills that will allow them into the workforce and lower the need for universities that are causing more harm then good.
@8T3H2JG3yrs3Y
No, but allow school districts to decide if they want to reopen and offer a choice between online and in-person learning
Yes, but only if they have the infrastructure to do so safely
@8T3366P3yrs3Y
Everyone should have their choice
@8T2Y7763yrs3Y
No, allow districts to reopen if they want but offer a choice whether or not the student has to go back
@8T2TYWY3yrs3Y
They never should have closed.
@8T2R4Z73yrs3Y
Yes, but attendees must be fully vaccinated and offer a choice between online and in-person.
@8T2HSMG3yrs3Y
Yes, as conditions permit.
@8T2DVCC3yrs3Y
Yes, but offer a choice between online and in person learning and MAKE IT FAIR! I feel that ever since my school has been going back to in person learning they havent been making it fair for us remote students at all, the teachers are giving us big assignments and alot of work to do and its taking a toll on us
@8T28CB43yrs3Y
Yes, but if the parents feel it is not safe for there child then they should stay home.
@8SZJHTD3yrs3Y
Maybe it depends about COVID in the area
@8SZ7SP83yrs3Y
YES!! And with NO mandates for masks and vaccination--and no CRT!
@8SZ3FML3yrs3Y
Federally funded education is unconstitutional.
@PerkiLlama3yrs3Y
Yes, the video conference apps like Zoom and Ring Central can potentially be too dangerous for a K-12 setting. Unless, a school's IT department has the necessary firewalls, VPN, and other security protocols to prevent criminal invasion.
Yes, but they should have the choice, and it should also only be in-person for vaccinated kids
@8SYX6XC3yrs3Y
Switch it to at home only, allow children free expression, and reduce the workload of classes to not conse a child just because they're smart
@8SYNCGS3yrs3Y
No, but provide all families with internet access and computers
@8SYMVK53yrs3Y
varies depending on the safety precautions taken by the school district.
