Why Are Schools Opening When Covid-19 is Surging?

January 6, 2021 By Nancy Bailey 5 Comments

It has become a cruel joke. Shut everything down! Stay home! Cancel the holidays! Close everything! But open schools! Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious diseases expert, told Americans to stay home throughout the holiday season, avoid groups, wash hands, wear masks, and stay socially distanced. There’s a horrific death count in case […]

We "get to know where the money is being spent"? Great! So every private school receiving tax dollars will have to open their books and be subject to the same standards of financial transparency as public schools, right? Right?

I’ve known @Brandon4Chicago for a long time.

On a CTU trip to Springfield I got to witness firsthand the respect that electeds have for his integrity and ability to work in the political arena.

People’s faces light up when they see him. His is that dynamic.

Always comical for @BetsyDeVos trolls whining that teachers contribute to us.

Aren’t privatizer billions enough for them?

We will block vouchers again with the powerful teacher/preacher dynamic duo!

Thank you @TexasAFT @OfficialATPE @UEATexas @txstateteachers @texascta! #txed

As MN seems about to adopt a drill and kill phonics fundamentalist literacy curriculum it's worth examining that now “There’s a whole generation of kids who associate reading with assessment" and have come to hate it https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2023/03/children-reading-books-english-middle-grade/673457/

The privatize-schools crowd talks about #parents rights while pushing 3rd grade retention laws taking that decision away from parents and #teachers.

Don’t ever mistake attacks on #publiceducation for #parents rights.

I’m glad our #migov #mileg know the difference. https://twitter.com/SenPolehanki/status/1639328314966802447

Senator Dayna Polehanki @SenPolehanki

“I want to thank Gov. Whitmer for signing this important legislation. Parents and schools should be trusted to make decisions about grade retention—the state shouldn’t mass-flunk 3rd graders without parent input based on one test,” said State Senator Dayna Polehanki (D-Livonia).”
