Brenda Del Hierro was not so thrilled with distance learning when her kids were sent home in March to when the novel coronavirus pandemic hit, yet the Los Angeles mom said she was not convinced it would be safe to send them back to the classroom this fall.

Groups representing U.S. doctors, teachers and top school officials on Friday pushed back against pressure from President Donald Trump to fully reopen U.S. schools, saying science must guide the decisions. The teachers union in the nation’s second-largest school district on Friday recommended keeping school campuses closed when the semester begins on Aug. 18.

She said she is also worried that if something upsetting happens at her son’s school in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, teachers will not be able to properly console children from six feet away.

Fire every last one who won’t show up and do their job.

HNTurtledove Dear TuckerCarlson Take a step back from parents sending their kids off to school in the fall and ask those parents what they are doing now with their kids. Summer camp? Play dates? Sunday school? Now. Explain what will be different when kids go back to school in 8 weeks.

Wrap the damn teacher in bubble wrap then and open the schools. There is almost zero risk to kids.

These same people expect the grocery shelves to be stocked, plumbers to fix their toilets, garbage to hauled away. But somehow school is not essential?

Can you imagine the indoctrination these young minds will receive if schools reopen?

They didn’t ask me

Then you need to learn to access risk better.

That is quite an impressive School Bus Farm. Looks like they're ready to be harvested.

It's hard to believe this country was built when diseases like polio were rampant. My goodness we've grown soft as a country

Parents aren't the ones worried. If you're afraid to go teach, maybe it's time to stop teaching.

How many parents? We'll disregard teachers because they have a vested interest in not working but still being paid. Where? Everywhere? Leftist controlled cities? Rural Arizona?

Straight up made up headline. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda. See for yourself.

Children are hardly affected by Covid-19. Flu is more dangerous for children then the Corona virus.

Stop feeling and start thinking.

These parents and teachers apparently aren’t on twitter because then they would know there’s nothing to worry about.

Of course it doesn’t feel safe when you have a daily toll of over 1200 in one city alone. I sure would think twice about sending kids back to classrooms

RemarkHoldings make it safe will you

It isn’t safe.

Some parents and teachers don’t feel safe when a child drives for the first time

'But' we are reopening.

Nothing feels safe anymore.

Opening schools is taking a great risk to the children..

Neither does calling obese people healthy. criticalFatTheory fatFeminism

flugennock Its NOT safe.

No sh*t

Half of the country won’t open schools in September

Don't send your child to school and keep them from their friends that do go back. Look into the importance of taking Vitamin D

swallowing just a tiny amount of hand sanitizer can cause alcohol poisoning in children. Alcohol poisoning in children can cause low blood sugar, seizures, coma and death. American Academy of Pediatrics urges parents to keep hand sanitizers out of child's reach. Poison

It’s not

What about no child care and truancy rate?

I don’t feel safe sending my 6th grader to school. We can’t even get adults to follow the rules. I’m not sending her to school, open or not- until I feel it’s safe. And I probably won’t feel it’s safe until we have a president who isn’t trying to kill us.

Reuters Is Fake News

I thought these were cigarettes

ifudontlike2bad It's not safe!!! Stay home!!!

😱

They're probably remembering what they heard about the Spanish flu: one if the reasons it spread so far so fast was that military service was bringing together thousands of men from different areas. They'd report to their units, swap germs, go home on leave, transmit them.

I’M A US PARENT AND IT FEELS SAFE.

Please don't send kids to school till things improve and normalcy returns

No one forcing you to put kids in class

I'm curious the CDC says less than 1% chance of under 20 going to hospital, what is the reason to keep schools closed?

It's fine it doesn't matter we're all going to die anyway from the virus or have permanent brain damage. Nobody's doing anything to fix it anyway so it doesn't matter. The lockdown was all a waste. next month people will lose their houses and more companies will go bankrupt.

I used to watch a show where the grim reaper went to school with two kids.

I initially thought this was a shot of caskets...

Over 71k Covid cases today, and you open schools, then see everything will burn as it will rage beyond what is now.

Cigaretts

It is not the job of teachers to fix this mess or provide that free childcare we all need. Being an underpaid nanny was part of the reason I quit.

Well, no shit?

Encyclopedia is best for the kids now than open death.

it wont be safe until nov. 3rd. then the narrative will change again.

you gonna smoke those or wh....oh, those are school buses. Carry on

Because it’s not.

Looks like cigarette butts from far up there.

Feels over reals.

L.A. teachers union says schools should not reopen next month, citing coronavirus spikeThe main teachers union for LAUSD said distance learning should continue until it is safe to resume in person. Time for all the teachers to be laid off. Ok sure. But then taxpayers should not pay school tax. How about that? If masks work, why?
