Open All Schools Now

Thank goodness, I was able to attend school. The joy of dressing in a blue uniform. Without a teacher, I would have grown up, a total fool. My brain, perhaps would have been deformed? I enjoyed my friends, true to this day. Being alone, all day, would have left me a fool! Who did not like recess with all the games we played? And besides~ school had a great swimming pool. The nuns were very strict, oh, we learned well. The joys of heaven and the archangels. The hot brimstone of Satan and hell. Books wrapped in special papers, would lead me one day, to get a teacher's credential. Let's stop being fools, and demand they open all the schools. Children deserve what you and I had, and more. Not all homes are perfect places, many children's parents are fools So let's allow our children them to associate with friends and their full education be restored. 2-19-2021 ~2~ EDITED

Kids are now so far behind, nearly two years of schooling written off, I think they should extend their for another year. Tom

They cannot do that here. All kids will be passed. As as ex educator makes no sense. But, what can we do? I don't know. Pangie

100%... In Chicago, the only public school open five days a week is 'The School of Hard Knocks... Catholic and Jewish schools have been open full boar since September with only the most minor of problems. ~ Superintendent Volkov (Wolf, in Russian)

I wholeheartedly agree, Pangie! If we don't get kids back to school in a proper learning mode, we will have a generation of illiterates and social misfits due to no fault of their own! Joe Joe the Clown wants them back one day a week joker that he is!

Bob, I was thinking of the time I was learning fractions. Ugh, without a teacher I would not have made it. In Seattle, all kids are getting an A. What? Joe and the Union are in bed together. As a retired teacher, I call it morally depraved. Covid can be caught shopping more than in a classroom. And I realize, the lies out there. This is morally wrong. Pray schools open in September. Who knows? Pangie, thank you, Bob for your input.))
