$20/hr? Not sure where you live but nannies make more than that here. |

How so? It's voluntary guidance. They aren't in the same position as air traffic controllers. |
Air traffic controllers are employees of the federal government. The president has no jurisdiction over public or private school teachers, who are employees of their school district or private school. |
| I am hopeful it means that they will be some of the first to be able to get vaccinated once we have EUA for the first COVID vaccine. Then we can get back to school. |
Did this surprise you? Where are you located? |
| I think some people may need to go back to school and review the meaning of "voluntary." |
Yup. Trump can't do shiy to reopen schools but he can sure pander to suburban housewives |
