@dsladkey I set a timer on my watch today and told them I was going to give them time to think, I also warned them that it would be awkward. But they were ready to answer when the timer went off!

You can't say covid-19 is so safe we can reopen schools then turn around and say it's too dangerous to have an election.

Unionized faculty and staff are demanding for institutions to begin the fall utilizing remote learning. Concerns are mounting over in-person learning on college and university campuses across the state.

One state can only do so much to protect itself from COVID.

The virus can and will cross state lines.

There must be a national plan to get this virus under control.

5 months later, we’re still waiting.

A Naperville Central senior wrote an editorial in the school's paper listing more than 50 questions she's hoping the administration can answer "to allow students, teachers and their families to feel safe about returning to school." Her full article here:

There is no possible, logical, reasonable, ethical, legitimate, sane, safe way we should open schools for face-to-face interaction this year. No argument devised can defeat the data and science on this one.

[Dave Stieber @D_Stieber]

The hybrid education model will have the same results as states reopening. States will soon close back down and so will schools. Covid is still spreading. Don’t put our students, staff, parents and communities in danger. It’s virtual or nothing for the safety of everyone.

When they felt sick the next day, June 25, the whole family got tested. Everyone was positive for the coronavirus. That meant that the kids could have been spreading the virus at the center as they played with other children the previous day. https://t.co/ZFGXjMiBzA

Most children will not be able to attend school in-person this fall because Trump was calling the virus a hoax when experts were telling him to act.

“I love, love my job. But this? It’s not worth my life.”

While some school staff feel ready to go back, others are ready to quit rather than put their lives at risk of the coronavirus https://t.co/Af4Ufw9peK

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

If we closed schools because it was unsafe due to the pandemic, exactly what has changed to make it safe now? 🤔

My dad spoke out today at the school board

Views are his own. We don’t need to be agents for one another- just FYI

I know it’s a foreign concept to have your own thoughts and to be able to speak your own mind without being controlled 💁🏾‍♀️

[Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune]

Saying there is no way to reopen schools safely this fall, the CTU is calling for virtual learning to continue in Chicago Public Schools when the new year begins after Labor Day. https://t.co/9qFoXhKkK4

Instead of getting mad at your child’s teacher for wanting to stay alive, get mad at the government for refusing to provide monthly stimulus checks, more unemployment money, rent freezes, and childcare subsidies. The government has failed to act, not teachers.

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

There is no safe way to reopen schools right now. Back to “normal” is literally a death wish. Teachers are not babysitters, and there is not one, single, legitimate reason why we should be asked or expected to risk our lives, or the health of our loved ones. Period.

At least 36 students at Lake Zurich High School have tested positive for COVID-19 — and health officials say they have traced the infections to 3 summer athletic camps and “recent social gatherings.” https://t.co/G3oSNfwsIm
