[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTU is weak. You are so wrong if you think the WTU is keeping schools closed. [/quote]

And it's just a coincidence that the only places in America where schools are completely closed are big cities where teachers unions are still powerful?[/quote]
Hmm. Pretty sure that’s not true. 
Take Arlington, for example. Still closed. Not a big city and it doesn’t have a strong union. 
They’ve put out a plan but, like DC, it’s not great. [/quote]

At this point, most children in the United States are back in school at least part time. [/quote]

Not true  - 58 percent of kids are still fully remote, while only 18 percent are hybrid.  Less than a quarter are fully in person.

Moreover, most parents with kids learning remotely think their kids are "fully learning" online.  A majority also prefer that schools focus on improving the online learning experience rather than opening school buildings.  There is a vocal minority that wants schools in person, but they are still a minority.  https://www.chalkbeat.org/2020/10/8/21508138/parents-schools-covid-online-poll  [/quote]

This is a completely misleading summary of that survey, which stated that teachers and researchers believe overwhelming that kids are losing learning online. Also there's no information about how the poll was conducted, other than "online."  And this organization has conducted other surveys, which I can't find anywhere on their website. [/quote]
