"Distance learning is wholly inadequate to meet the educational needs of elementary age children, and this is exacerbated for children living in poverty": @DrAmyBeck. Proper living conditions and tech access have become increasingly vital. #ReOpenClass

Due to remote learning, the number of failing classes has increased by two to three times, mostly affecting special education students. The difficulties of at-home learning and limited internet access have played major roles. @apbuf @lbaldor #ReOpenClass

Surveying parents about perspectives on school ReOpening and the impacts of school closures, it was found that many parents are still in favor of in-person instruction, fearing for children's academic/social well-being. @aejochim @CRPE_UW #ReOpenClass

Researchers at @TheCrick & @ucl have found antibodies, created by the immune system during infection with common cold coronaviruses, that could form protection against the virus. Such cross-reactive antibodies are mainly found in children. #ReOpenClass

In a @Reuters survey of 217 districts, although some parents are concerned about returning to schools, most are balking at online instruction, seeing it as inferior to classroom learning and disruptive to life at home/work. @kristinacooke #ReOpenClass

Governor of MA, @MassGovernor, has called on schools to start planning to #ReOpenClass in January. He states, "I think the evidence, at this point, is pretty clear that there is very little, if any, transmission in schools." @karenreports @shaynatv5

In NY, 19.4% of students need special ed: 40% higher than the national avg. Yet NY "has created a system that financially rewards school districts for designating students as needing special education services." @Annie_McDonough @empirecenter #ReOpenClass

"Keeping schools open is one of the least dangerous - and most important - things a society can do," reports @opinion_joe. Teachers' unions refuse to return to the classroom, despite the harm school closures are having on children. @bopinion #ReOpenClass
