Then we have the teacher's union

The CDC says, at this point, the risk of death for children under the age of 18 from flu is 5 times greater than the risk of death from covid-19. So, why aren't schools opening?

It's not all about the kids getting it and being affected by it.... yes kids are far less likely to get it and be affected by it.... What many are forgetting or don't care to mention is the KIDS can still carry it home and/or to school therefore teachers/staff/elders etc... can get infected by the kids... Kids are more likely to carry and transfer it to others while in school.. This is the whole argument against schools opening full boar right now.

Some studies disagree. But why take a chance, I guess.

Can children pass coronavirus to adults?

With schools to remain open during the second lockdown - what does the science say?

Not opening is about more than the corona Teachers will be under more scrutiny than ever in their history. With on line classes parent's will be able to see what their kids are actually taught....In those areas where they indoctrinate them more it will be discovered........The fact history is being changed to follow a narrative will be exposed.......It's no longer as simple as the child misunderstood what I said....it's about the parent actually hearing and seeing what was said and that's a whole new can of worms.

It's a real look into how and what methods are being used to influence young minds.......Parent's will no longer wonder about how & why their kids support the liberal agenda now they'll be able to see it at work. no more big mystery's about How Bernie delivered the young vote.......Now every parent will know who's been at work changing the political beliefs within your household.........

push yourself back from the table and connect the dots..... your kids teacher has been doing to them what the press has been doing to you!! Think it's not happening why don't you know about many things we post up on this forum and why didn't they tell you about the murders connected to the political unrest in this country connected to the "peaceful demonstrations" or the fact they were trying to burn down a federal courthouse with people inside or the fact they torched several police precinct's...........

I bet 90% of parents still don't care how well there kids are doing in school.

Follow the money to help imagine the school of the future. Why would Bill gates and other "tech titans" be pushing an equipment/software intensive solution?

Well, at least they're not in school.

“Since Covid, they’ve moved all the parties to the hills,” Sheila Irani, a member of the Hollywood United Neighborhood Council, told the Los Angeles Times. “The kids are going stir-crazy.” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti last week said “these large house parties have essentially become nightclubs in the hills.”

Public employee unions used to be illegal. They should be again. Nothing to worry about though as the trough is about to run dry. When a state runs in the red for long enough and has to declare BK the contracts and pensions are all null and void. There is no way a state can continue to pay out pensions that were eliminated by industry 30 years ago. The blue states use phony accounting to get around the balanced budget clauses in their constitutions. One day it will all collapse and then the reality will set in. There is no way we have enough of a tax base to suffer the load long term. Federal is the same. You can tax the wealthy 100% to fund all the free programs but that won't be a drop in the bucket. The day of reckoning is coming.

Public Employee Unions, at least Federal ones, have been legal since 1918...and prior to 1902.

The teachers union never fails to make teachers look bad in order to achieve their political agenda. Most of the teachers I know are completely at odds with the union's progressive views.
