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%.
Yes if you do not vaccinate you have to bear the consequences.
Yes, and don't require masks
Yes, in places with low positivity rates and offer a choice between online and in-person learning.
Yes, once children can be vaccinated. Then, only vaccinated children should be allowed to attend an online learning should continue to be offered.
Not yet, because of the risk it carries to not only children, but also teachers, administrators, and other staff.
Yes, but schools should strictly enforce COVID prevention guidelines and educate their necessity
Yes, but only if the vaccine is released in America and widely effective.
yes, but you should have an option between online and in-person
It depends on the amount of cases in that area. It should also be a choice for a child to be virtual if they wish.
No-not being in school is safer from shootings and covid
Only if infection rate, hospitalizations, and deaths fall dramatically.
Yes, only with proper Preparations
Only if Covid-19 cases have gone down and the risk of being sick is less likely.
Depends on how fast COVID is spreading
if precautions are taken
If the school find a safe way to separate students. Students need to come back to school full time.
Yes, but with better restrictions and frequent testing
It should be determined when the time comes and decide due to how COVID 19 is still affecting the world or region.
If the global pandemic calms down, then yes. If it is still as bad then no, there needs to be some form of change.
Some schools in the U.S. should be open
It depends on the status of the pandemic
Yes and no, it depends on the area, number of cases, and what the students parents want for their child's safety.
If Covid-19 doesn't end up dying down significantly then they shouldn't.
Decision should be made this spring. We don’t know enough yet!
If the covid vaccine has been administered to all people and we are not at high risk
only if everyone is vaccinated and corona has been dealt with properly.
Yes if it is safe and 80% of staff and student have been vaccinated for COVID 19. Online should still be offered for those who have compromised immune systems.
Different types of schools(University vs. Elementary) should have different regulations .Depending on the rollout of a widespread vaccine program this will ideally be possible in the fall, but if students and teachers are not properly vaccinated I believe in person schooling should be limited
It depends on the COVID-19 situation. Possibly still a hybrid of online and in person
Yes, but only after it is confirmed that people of higher risk will have either been vacinated or protected.
Yes, but only if it is safe to open.
Yes with virtual option
no, unless vaccines are present in all students and faculty that attend, and the virus has no way of spreading
As long as there is wide spread vaccination in place.
Yes, if there no big threat to everyone's health and the vaccine is effective
Yes as long as they offer virtual learning as well
Yes as long as appropriate safety measures have been implemented and BOTH local health agencies AND local governments give the okay.
Yes, but parents should still be given the option of online learning or in-person learning.
Yes, if the epidemic is in a safe position
if covid is better yes
Wait until August to determine the situation.
Yes but only with appropriate precautions in place to protect against COVID, and there still needs to be a remote option for those who have medical reasons (i.e., unable to get vaccinated due to health condition, student or family member who is high-risk for severe COVID).
Yes, based on local school district, and still have option of virtual and in-person learning.
If everyone gets vaccinated.
Should depend on the state and how many cases their are
No, but allow students who want to learn in-person to attend in-person
I believe kids should be able to do years k-12 either online or in person regardless of civid. Or be able to chose a blend. Every kid is different, so why should their education style be a "one size fits all" deal?
Yes, but mostly for younger grades where in person teaching is more crucial for a child's educational foundation; it is unnecessary at this time for schools to be re-opened for most older students, where they are reasonably and reliable able to complete their work online or at home
Yes, as long as teachers are vaccinated
No, not until every person living in the U.S. is vaccinated.
