[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids need to go back to school period.  I have teens who are great students and independent learners so I don't have to engage much with them on that front but there is so much more that's needed and that all students are missing out on.  And for smaller children or those not in good environments this is so sad.  LET'S AT LEAST TRY!  YOU CAN'T FAIL IF YOU DON'T TRY!  Stop living in fear and let's move forward.  This disease won't go away.  We can't keep hiding, we must learn to live with it and move forward.  Seems like many other states and countries are placing children first.  England locking down but now closing schools...hmm, children first.  Teachers stop being so scared of the unknown.  20+ year Army retiree here, we just make a plan, execute it, if it fails, make a new plan.  We don't just sit in fear in the corner waiting for someone else to take care of things.  I'm over all this back and forth.  JUST TRY!!![/quote]

Teachers get the short end of the stick all the time. And they should have been critical partners in the reopening plan. It’s very frustrating. But I agree with this sentiment above. It’s time to try and teachers should be putting out the message that it’s time to get back to school in some way. If it doesn’t work, we do something else. But at least we get started. [/quote]

I agree *except* you should first try with a plan that has promise to start with.  Trying with a clearly flawed plan is folly.[/quote]

Have the teachers proposed their own plan for reopening? They don't have to be in negotiations to put out a proposal. All I've heard is that they have demands. That doesn't give them the same claim to the higher ground that a proposal supporting some sort of reopening would.[/quote]
