With the debate over the coronavirus risk to young people pretty much over, we are now faced with the obstacle of teachers and their unions fighting against allowing children back into schools. The unions are insisting that the risk to the older people, the teachers, is too great. That is what is happening with Fairfax, Virginia. The union will not even support hybrid class instruction. Wow!
Teachers -- The purpose of the schools is not to give you an income. It is to educate the children of the taxpaying and non-taxpaying residents of society. If you aren't willing to teach, we will find others who will do that job for us!
The colleges across the nation, especially the private ones, have been forced by student and parent demand to have on site education. Almost all students agreed that the last two to three months of the academic year was a poor substitute for a college education. The fact that parents are paying a lot of money means that they will choose to have their children step away for a while rather than pay for a poor college experience. However, the nation's public schools have no such incentive. They will get funded whether the kids show up or not. Plus, the teachers seem to enjoy working from home.
