[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are districts going to actually reopen though? I got the impression that teacher unions are strong in NY. At least, all the parents will know it’s the union and not the state’s fault if schools remain closed.[/quote]
Teachers will hold the government to task for creating a safe work environment and providing adequate funding necessary to do so. After seeing how school re-openings have failed around the country to date, I would think that parents would be even more militant in demanding a safe environment for their child. I'm beginning to believe that many parents legitimately do not care about their child's health and well-being. [/quote]
Failed? What planet you living on sister?[/quote]
Do you live under a rock? Have you not seen the schools in Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi that have already had outbreaks? There are elementary schools where they've had to close entire grades and put all students and teachers in quarantine, schools that have had to delay their start because 260 teachers attending a training were either positive or directly exposed, and schools where outbreaks have taken down classes and sports teams. Anyone demanding to see a rise in deaths and hospitalizations is being deliberately obtuse-we know there is a lag time of several weeks for those things to happen. One of the problems is that contact tracing will be close to impossible in these places, because the spread is so out of control. 
This is not going to last.
