Online schooling for our children
Create and make available online schooling for elementary, middle and high school students for their protection from Covid-19 just like it’s made readily available to college students. A virtual classroom where the teacher can teach from their home and the students can still have the classroom environment from home. Make weekly assignments and do testing online. The children would still have that interaction with a teacher and be able to be taught just like in an in person classroom.
Why is this important?
Children are at higher risk for contracting the illness as well as every staff member in the school system leading to more and more illness and possible death with exposure of the virus and bringing home that exposure to each persons family. If one person is infected and they are in that classroom, now all the students in that classroom are exposed, as well as the teacher. If that student goes to another classroom or nurses office, now those students and those faculty members have been exposed and it will just keep spreading. Then our now exposed children come home to their family, that family member goes to work and now has exposed every person at their job. It is safer for our children to be home using a virtual classroom. They aren’t being exposed to any of the illness being home.
