In January 2021 President Joe Biden pledged to re-open schools by the end of April 2021. His plan included providing school districts with necessary funding to reconfigure classrooms for social distancing, procuring protective equipment and devising plans to accommodate at-risk teachers and students. Biden’s plan was praised by the two major national teachers unions. Opponents argue that children should immediately return to school since the coronavirus is not harmful to children and point out that the CDC’s infection fatality rate for people under the age of 19 is .003%.

No rush to open schools. But provide those without internet with better avenues for education.
@8QDSNZY4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the school plans everything in an orderly and safe fashion, also force all people to wear masks when they are near other people at all times except small mask breaks where the student asking for it goes into a hallway for a few seconds. Also, offer a choice between online and in-person learning
@7X7RD4T4yrs4Y
No, the entire school year should just be skipped
@Brunk4yrs4Y
Yes, school openings should be decided by the parents and the teachers, not the government
@8P6PWZP4yrs4Y
No, not until the vaccine is available to everyone and the amount of people who have the virus is down by a lot.
@8P6PWZP4yrs4Y
Leave this decision to the state and local governments.
@8QMMB5M4yrs4Y
Yes, though they should allow their students to go virtual if desired
@dandyman4yrs4Y
Yes, but offer a choice between online and in-person learning and only remove restrictions after a majority have been vaccinated
@7C2LD624yrs4Y
No, and get rid of government funded education and replace it with community funded education programs instead.
@6T6Y4L24yrs4Y
Yes, but only if enough of our country gets the COVID-19 Vaccine
@8S4VH5F4yrs4Y
Yes, but offer in-person and online learning, along with mask wearing.
