Every Child Should Go Back To School

Every child should immediately go back to school
Not endorsed by any learned people I know
But our new dictator is clearly a fool
An unlearned bully who is running the show.

He is threatening to take away school’s money
If we do not place our children at risk of virus death.
What do educated epidemiologists know anyway, honey?
Too bad it’s our children who will take their last breath.

Trump and de Vos insist there is no shortage of teachers willing to risk the lives of their own children and loved ones s when even Substitutes are declining return-to-work offers. Bully for Los Angeles opposing the covidiots (and you for writing about it!). Aloha! Rico

With no National Health Insurance, there are just too many Americans who can not afford to take their child to a doctor and send their child to school hoping the School Nurse will cure the problem. Too risky for all! Aloha! Rico

I am a school teacher who is considering retiring which I would have never thought of before, but to go physically back I think is more unsafe now that it was in March when they released us early.

Hello Caren, I feel that a school should be a safe place for all students.Yet witj this virus going on, I feel that going back to school right now is not safe for any student. the virus is still here and it is not weakening. So I feel it is not safe to go back to school for the students. Hugs.

I do not think it is safe, and I feel strongly about it. I do not want to see the number of deaths among children rise.
