President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding unless the nation’s schools completely reopen this fall. Los Angeles’ county health director warned school districts to have plans “to continue distance learning 100% of the time,” the Los Angeles Times reported, noting the county’s surge. The California Teachers Association, the state’s largest teachers union, wrote Wednesday to state leaders — in bolded lettering — that “schools cannot reopen unless they are safe.” The teachers union for Los Angeles Unified, the state’s largest school district, called for the district to begin the year under distance learning.
Now school districts ranging from the Bay Area to the Central Coast to Southern California have made early decisions to hold off on in-person instruction to start the new term. They’re looking for ways to improve distance learning and implement new state requirements. Some are exploring pushing back the start of their first day of school as the prospect of in-person instruction grows more uncertain for a wide swath of the state.
Distance learning is, in effect, home schooling. Home owners are stuck with a nightmare, paying for all this.
