Some Teachers Leaving The Classroom For Good As Coronavirus Concerns Grow | NBC Nightly News

This is hard and sad but every human being on this earth matters. Homeschooling is possible. I am a mama of 5 boys I worked 14 hour shifts for years and years when I became a parent no hob was more important then being a present parent and Mom. Not always easy a lot of sacrifices made all them are worth it tho. My husband and I right at the start decided that one of us would always be home with our kids period no matter what that looked like. One normal shift one overnight shift whatever it took. anyone can do it we all need to stick together and support one another even if it’s a kind helping comment or a phone call of support we all need to lift one another up and support eachoth. god bless out there stay safe. do what is right for yourself and your families first.

Typical Trump administration policy. Do as we say, but do it without our help because we do not take responsibility. What may come to light is that a high perentage of parents keep kids at home, so those who go will effectively be able to social distance to a certain extent.

Shut down all the schools. Switch to virtual classrooms all the kids attend class from home simple.

They are right to quit. For these people to think school can be done safely is sheer insanity. My kid gets sick every year within the first few weeks. Every year it never fails. I’m keeping my child home. These schools aren’t prepared, have not been trained for this and don’t have the funds to make it happen.
