Let me say everyone wants to be back in school, and my heart breaks for those working families put in impossible positions, but that being said, teachers and school staff members shouldn't have to risk their lives because the cities and state won't do their #$%@ing jobs.
You hear it all the time, schools need to open so people can go back to work. This reduces education to little more than daycare.
Ron DeSantis governor of Florida, President Trump, and others have echoed this sentiment over and over again. They say the economy must get going, not realizing how shortsighted this is. Apparently, they don't understand or care that when teachers start to get sick, schools will close, and now children and their parents will be forced to quarantine; the economy may open up again for a few days or few weeks, but it will inevitably grind to a stop.
Instead of forcing schools to open, they should be working to provide some way to help our parents, be it with tax credits or direct payments. Maybe they should put a bunch of smart people in a room, i.e., not them, and come up with some solutions.
Schools were not meant to be the solution to all of society's problems.
A kid is hungry, schools should feed them.
A kid has mental health issues, the schools should fix them.
Now parents need to work, don't worry, parents, teachers, and staff will risk their lives to accommodate you.
No.
The state doesn't adequately fund schools during good times. Education in Florida never recovered from the great recession. Now they expect the staff to risk their lives?

Like DeSantis said you go back to school with the school you have not the school you wish you had. Or maybe that was Rumsfeld who said it? Either way we're screwed.
