In reply to the discussion: All K-12 schools in Pennsylvania shut down for 2 weeks amid coronavirus outbreak [View all]Sunlei
(22,651 posts)It's about 8 weeks of classes to finish the school year.
There is the problem of many children (and families) without internet access.
Also the problem of no adult in the home able to help with 'at home' education.
That's why I suggested all states (The Federal department of education must lead) finish the school year in the fall. Even if next years school year is delayed start a month or even two.
Two weeks is just not enough time, they are kicking the can down the road. The country will not be over the pandemic in two weeks, maybe two months (hopefully) It's also time to expand testing, develop a vaccine and start to test titers to see if we're starting to develop group immunity in society.
There has to be a way to provide totally free internet access statewide (nationwide) through the Federal government. Times have changed, no cost internet access and education is critical for our society. These are the times where poor government leadership really shows.
