TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s largest school district will begin the fall semester with remote classes, joining others that are keeping campuses closed even as Gov. Ron DeSantis insists the state will have in-person learning.
“I don’t think you’re going to have a school district in the state that is going virtual for the whole semester,” DeSantis said during an education roundtable at a special needs school in Clearwater. The state as a whole posted a record 216 Covid-19 deaths Wednesday and 9,446 new cases, according to the Florida Department of Health.
We're never going to get well if our government doesn't work with the experts and take their advice. COVID can kill! Distance Learning won't kill you!
De Santis can posture and bluster with his decrees but he is not Mussolini. The parents will not send there until it is safe and the teachers will not teach. Get some right wing replacement teachers.
My pick for AmericasCraziestDumbest governor GovRonDeSantis
Why don’t school districts take next years summer vacation now or at least part of it?
Sacrifice children in order to give the appearance that the crisis is over and society should return to buying so the republicans can claim that everything is back to normal ? No matter how many children become infected ?
And he's not wearing a lapel pin. What the hell is that all about? ItDidntHaveToBeThisWay TrumpVirus
tell him teach a class show the world he is right
You will never see my grandchildren in school until you drastically change the number of students to each and use cubicles in tn classrooms to promote social distancing. Many poorer schools have up to 45 students to each class.
What’s the plan when all the teachers get sick, staff sick, and students get sick and some die. What’s the plan then? Kind a like when you bragged you did such a great job opening and now Florida numbers are the worst in the country. He does not care who gets hurt and who dies!
He does not care about anyone no matter much they suffer. He just follow Trump. It is incredible for far he got his head up Trump ass. He is pretty close to doing best at being a kiss ass along with Pence, McConnell, Graham, Barr, Jordan. Trump has his head stuck up Putan ass.
School spirit, not school spirits.
Decisions must me much easier when the decision maker doesn’t let relevant facts muddy the situation. The GovRonDeSantis Way.
Never admit you’re wrong, ride it into the ground.
GOOD. Kids deserve in-person instruction.
My kid says no he’s going to school for the girls and friends and maybe to play contact sports and laugh at skinny bicep liberals
SchoolChoice is the answer
Resign, GovRonDeSantis, before you kill off our education workers. They aren’t responsible for your epic failures. You are.
The guy is just doing Trump's bidding. They don't care less about your lives. GOPs are more interested in being reelected.
You can’t make people sacrifice their children. Whadiya gonna do? Arrest the parents for not endangering their kids? The world has gone mad. Officially. That IS the definition of it.
Yes. Perfect example of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Just let parents choose and bus the kids out of district if needed.
That’s because they don’t give a damn about kids or anyone but themselves and money. republicansattheirbest
School choice!
He's got bleach and a needle.
