The issue isn’t with kids getting sick or dying from it. The issue is with kids being carriers and teachers/staff spreading it. What happens if there’s an outbreak amongst teachers? What do you do?

There’s a ton of unanswered legit questions. And no one has the answers to them.

Nice try. Not sure where you got that, because I’m a teacher and I love teaching, working, and being in the classroom. It’s the parents who couldn’t care less about educating and raising their children to be decent, hard working, respectful people.

What parish was this in? St. Landry is your typical poor rural parish. Lots of single parent homes that have very little computer or Internet experience beyond using the Facebook app on their phone.

School Board IT staff are not allowed to enter homes. Many rural homes have no access to wired Internet and no cell coverage for mobile hotspots.

A lot of single working moms relied on school attendance for their kidssss while at work. Now they will need daycare to watch their kids. Guess who will pay for that.

If schools close, teachers shouldn’t get paid.


Same should be applied to all state employees. Offices closed, no pay.

And how bout we get a deferral on property taxes that go to the schools? I’m paying an additional $600/year for a brand new school that’s not even open. Charge me when you start using it.

The access is provided by the stimulus

The technology is there, maybe it's time to evolve the classroom into the 21st century, colleges do it and all this ends up being is a bitch fest about parents having to work, from the same people who complain how useless teachers are and how school is glorified babysitting



Yes, evolve and continue to remove physical interaction in society. Idiot.

We send our kids to private school and we’ve already paid tuition for the year. There plans are to open as normal but I’ve already heard of some teacher squawking about it. I can see a scenario where they close or only open a couple of days a week and try to keep our tuition. Give the teachers a choice, stay home without pay or go to work. Silo the classrooms, put up plexiglass between the teachers and students, there’s common sense solutions but that doesn’t give teachers a year off.

Most of st Landry’s population is rural and live in poverty, this will work great to increase the gap between the upper and lower classes

That doesn’t help St Landry. Have you ever tried to watch internet porn out in the country? It’s a different world out there when all that’s available is satellite internet

Yeah, I had to deal with satellite internet on an old job of mine. $120/month for up to 18 Mbps up and down. On average we were clocking 3 Mbps

You'd be better off linking studies that show that children don't infect adults... if those studies exist.

They might succeed in destroying this country.

You cannot leave the youth of this country at home, alone, and uneducated for a year.

The crime and abuse is going to skyrocket out of control by October.

Exactly what I keep telling myself. I guess it's because teachers don't want to work, which is bull shite. Time to move on and get back to work it's ridiculous.

Why? Other people are going to work. Its part of living. If teachers dont want to do it, quit and find something else to make money. School is about teaching children, and this is not dangerous for children

Its also not particularly dangerous for adults either BTW

Because they dont make money without working. Teachers are still making money while not having to work....
