"As you get up to age, like, 13 and higher, then you'll have to look at your locale to decide what you'll do with high schools," he said. "And if they're not in, then you have to put massive effort into trying to get there to be continued learning online."
Gates' charitable foundation has contributed millions to coronavirus vaccine research. The tech mogul said the organization also has changed the focus of its educational efforts in response to the public health crisis. "Our foundation has revamped our education work to really jump in and help ... get those online capabilities up," he said. "Make sure that minority students and low-income students aren't suffering the most throughout all of this."
Gates' comments come as school districts across the U.S. prepare plans for fall classes despite the threat of the Covid-19 outbreak. The Trump administration has lately
BillGates Read this then and then send us back to school.
BillGates Hey MariaDeCotis or sarahcpr Bill Gates certainly is prime comedy target for you two with his speaking cadence and all of his hand waving. Although the subject of sending kids to school is 😳.
BillGates True about there being a tough set of trade offs. I keep reminding myself that this is NOT permanent. It’s a temporary situation that once it ends we will need to put great effort into repairing the damage done. It will take hard work, but it can be done.
BillGates “Massive effort into online instruction.” I haven’t noticed “massive” effort. It’s more so a passing effort.
BillGates Ok Mr Vaccine, you have all the answers to America’s problem! You are just protecting your fortunes. It is not worth one child going to school and getting sick. Hell with an economy. No one should die because of stupidity. Who feels it knows it!
BillGates A fucking college dropout giving advice? Give me a break. Ok Bill, send the kids to school and 3% die brilliant, 7% of all parents and grandma parents also die, or keep them home and they live through this pandemic a little educationally challenged, which scenario is better?
BillGates Goooo awayyyyy
BillGates Why are you asking Bill Gates? Interview some deans and prinipals of schools to see what they are dealing with.
BillGates I can guarantee was expecting a resounding 'NO' from Bill Gates. How is he going to sell his poisonous vaccine to your family now?
BillGates Well said Gates!!!! Kids need to go back to school, only those with young kids at home, realize how much kids need school. OPEN THE DAMN SCHOOLS!
BillGates No one cares what Bill Gates has to say, except to the extent we can hold him lawfully accountable for what he has done here, and what he is planning on doing.

BillGates The same Bill Gates that had a relationship with Epstein after he was found guilty of being a child predator. You opinion on children means nothing Mr. Gates.
BillGates Remote learning is the future why not lean into it now and stop building costly ultimately unnecessary schools
BillGates Gates only wants schools not to re-open so they can spend all day on Tik Tok and with their Xbox
BeefEnt BillGates Everything Bill Gates has ever proverbialized, is some sort of ridiculous emulative desire for enlightenment. The 'Microsoft Telepathy Updates' broadcast & his gross negligence of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (aka: Microsoft Foundation) is as bad as any Arab bomb maker!
BillGates Agree with BG.. I'm a mom to a 2nd grader who is a single child and confined at home 95% of time.. it's extremely heartbreaking to see her isolated from friends, but everyone's health and safety comes first always.
BillGates Strange He would not enocourage to use zoom and all new technlogies that work wonders, but Academics are worry about $$$
BillGates What medical school did he go to? CNBC do you think your viewers are idiots? Andrew, your OPINION is as valid as his....but not as much as Joe Kernen's opinion. joesquawk
Who asked him ?
BillGates Socialist Andy's kids are kids of privilidge and he lives on the upper west side. Do they still go to private schools? andrewsorkin
BillGates This is incredibly irresponsible.
BillGates Sending your kids back to school in Florida is 💯 the wrong move.
BillGates Why are we taking advice from someone who is not a Dr or a Scientist and hangs out with Pedophiles
BillGates The answer is no. It's the teachers, janitorial staff, bus drivers, and other administrative staff we have to worry about.
BillGates Pedophile
BillGates Bill gates is not a doctor.
BillGates Dr. Bill Gates knows best.
BillGates My kid is not your experiment.
BillGates Except Florida
BillGates One child’s life is too high of a price to pay. Of all the people suggesting going back to school with no guidance, which one of you are willing to say how many kids are expendable & which ones should be put at risk. Step forward & provide an acceptable . Then stand behind it!
BillGates
BillGates Nice try Satan
BillGates Ssoo . . . The guy responsible for the spinning circle of death is a doctor now?
Only the second CNBC article on Bill Gates so far this Saturday morning. Disappointing. CNBC we really need you to pick it up. A day is lost without at least 15 stories on Bill Gates and how he has the say over everyone.
BillGates Why do people have a hard time talking without their hands? Their is a lot to read in that
BillGates No one cares what Bill Gates thinks.
BillGates New Zealand we had strict lock down entire nation after just 100 cases and zero deaths. Kids ended up with 5 weeks out of school, they returned to school May 25th. For US to even consider sending kids back to school during pandemic with so much spread seems absolutely crazy.
BillGates The left always says to follow the science. The science says kids should be going back to school. BillGates is right and so is the science.
BillGates Who cares what Bill says?
BillGates He said it. Maybe the scary media and narrative is wrong
BillGates It’s not good to go back schools and colleges 🤯
BillGates Doctor Gates
BillGates I didn’t realize BillGates was a licensed doctor. Ask him about his 2 week stays w/ Esptein! PedoIsland
BillGates They all laughed at Gates when he said shut everything down 15-20 weeks. Looks like he was right.
BillGates But why is Bill Gates weighing in? 😂
BillGates What about the risk to the teachers and admin workers? Don't they matter? Or are they expendable?
BillGates Are teachers idols, or merely idle?
BillGates Why are you talking to BillGates about this? Is he an epidemiologist, an infectious disease specialist, or an educator? No, but he sure has a lot of money which apparently makes him an expert on everything 🙄
BillGates I always click 'Not interested in this tweet' and hope Twitter's AI one day understands that I'm not interested in CNBC's Bill Gates tweets 🙄

BillGates Why is he waering a jumper in every interview regardless of the season...

BillGates When did Bill Gates become relevant in this discussion? Setting stage for political career or is he invested in this network? Too much air time.
BillGates It's vital that we reopen schools. Education is essential to a child’s growth & development & online learning will be a disadvantage to many children. Think about those in toxic households, abusive parents, etc. Your child will NOT die from the virus. Let them live without fear.
BillGates Andrew Ross Sorkin cannot say 3 words without looking down to his left. Every time, every day. The ultimate insecure left-wing too-much-soy human being. CNBC Sorkin
BillGates Gates is a business man .... no other credability. He can’t buy it or earn it at this stage in life.
BillGates GavinNewsom needs to listen.
BillGates The homeless on the streets seem to be outliving all of us in general. In the end times, it's just them and the cockroaches..... BuildImmunity GoBackToSchool
BillGates Is Gates a MD?
BillGates Why are you giving Bill Gates air time on a subject he’s not any kind of authority on?
BillGates Why do we care what he thinks? Is he a virologist or epidemiologist?
BillGates Cc: MCPS
BillGates Philippines prepare academic year Next month August. August-May have 10 months.. Graduation May and June and 2 vacation months June and July every years.
BillGates Bill stick to business. Why don’t you ask a teacher?
BillGates Lost credibility with 'bill gates weighs in'
BillGates Ok Dr Gates
BillGates So kids under 10 are good? Hmmm 🤔
BillGates No, lets treat everyone from everywhere the same like weve been doing so far. considering age is way too complex for simpleton 🐑
BillGates
BillGates Just reopen. Protect the elderly. Whoever dies, dies. It's a tiny death rate.
BillGates Who the hell asked him?
BillGates Bill Gates is extraordinarily wealthy. He’s not a doctor. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.
BillGates Can't we use golf courses and football fields to social distance special education and pre12? Seems logical to me, Bill, and we rarely agree on anything earthly... Wtf is wrong with the teachers' unions We can't do everything online - it's sick.
