[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anything but a normal, full-time school year would be a complete failure. There is no reason why school can’t open full-time in the fall. [/quote]

Schools all over the US have been open and fully operational during the worst of this all. If DC can't open doors after 8 months of vaccine implementation I don't see the system recovering fully for years and years.[/quote]

+1 The fact that this question is even being asked is insane. Yes. Schools should be open 5 days a week in the fall. They should probably start in august to make up for learning loss. [/quote]

If you're vaccinated and the kids are too then yes.[/quote]

Posting this comment written in a similar DCUrban thread about a WaPo piece on the failure of schools to open:

"I am from Germany and think American liberals have it completely backwards on this issue. It's crazy that opening public schools has become branded as right-wing in the US. It's of course related to the politicization of the pandemic overall in the US. Trump's denial of Covid has led the left to go to the other extreme. The way the danger of the virus as a lethal threat to everyone is being hyped in the US has strongly contributed to parents' reluctance to send their kids back, and has stoked hysteria among teachers and the general public. The discourse in Germany isn't nearly as dramatic - the problem of Covid and the need for lockdowns is usually presented as a matter of preventing hospitals from being overrun, not of every infection being a likely death sentence or a high risk for long-term disability."

Yes to all of the above. It's common sense, folks. Kids need to go back to school.
