re: When do you see kids across the country going back to school?

Schools would legitimately just be day care for 3 weeks.
Day care upon which many rely. The whole public school system is day care (and yes, learning too), so parents can work. If the economy is going to bounce back, kids need to be in school.
Also, many kids rely on school for meals. Whether you agree with it or not, right now, kids are going hungry.

. Yet this "teacher" is making full salary with benefits, and is awarded time for teaching for pension benefits.
What benefits? The health insurance and retirement teacher’s 100% pay out of 100% their OWN salary? You know NOTHING about benefits and salary for teachers.

I have no use for your entitled mentality. Teach. Stop finding excuses why teachers cannot teach at this time.

And yet, my cousin is receiving no instructional videos. No tutoring from the teachers, even though this is sort of tutoring is easily facilitated in this day with our technology. People can come up with excuses all they want.
Let me enlighten you to the reality of public school. As soon as we create all of the instructional technology that you speak of and make it mandatory for students to complete to receive a grade and pass, school systems across the state will be sued into oblivion. In poor, rural communities, many families simply don’t have the technological resources to allow their children, our students, to complete those assignments. Every white trash, methed out baby mama around would be lining up to sue school systems for lack of equity.

My 1st grader has 3 Zoom "meetings" everyday.
One from her phonics teacher. One from her math teacher. And one from her rotating enrichment teachers (art, drama, music, French, PE)
This is a LA public school too.
There are still plenty of good teachers out there teaching their students daily.

As a teacher, it's definitely a weird feeling. Our district went the "enrichment" route. While I put in a lot of hours and effort to come up with quality stuff for my students (in addition to the LEAP preparation program where you just post them assignments), I do have to say it's nowhere near what I did when school was in. Then I'd wake up before 5 to get to school early to make copies and do other prep work, teach from 7:10-2:10, then stay up until 11 or later to grade and put lessons together for the next day. Now its nothing like that.
To be honest, I would not object to working the summer, but I think by having teachers doing some work, albeit "enrichment," districts may have made that scenario less likely, either intentionally or unintentionally. I think there would be complaints from some. Of course, we get paid through the summer anyway so I wouldn't be one complaining. Heck, even though I take immuno-suppressants daily, if they were to say they are going to open Monday on a volunteer basis, I'd be pretty inclined to go.

My cousin is required to download her assignment each week and upload it. Is her school district open to lawsuit for requiring this work, which isn't much work at all?
While I appreciate the valid points you raise in making internet accessible to all students at this time, it still hints to an excuse explaining why some teachers are taking advantage of this situation and not doing the actual work of teaching now.
I sincerely applaud all the true teachers who are putting in the effort and show their love of students and community. They are finding a way to teach when others are using it as an excuse to do as little as possible.

Probably 2022 or 2023, just to be safe

Schools can not be opened until there are 0 cases of Covid 19. This means they never open. #stayinsidesonoonedies
