The White House on Tuesday qualified its promise to reopen schools in President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office, saying the administration wants "some" in-person learning "at least one day a week."
When Axios reporter Hans Nichols pressed White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Biden’s definition of opening schools, she defined "in-person teaching" as "teaching at least one day a week" in most schools.
"His goal that he set is to have the majority of schools—so more than 50 percent—open by day 100 of his presidency, and that means some teaching in classrooms," Psaki said. "Teaching at least one day a week

who came up with the bright idea to have local K-12 education fall under the control of the federal government? education was always a local issue, funded by the local governments, then the states got involved and the whole thing went to hell, fast.

So Lyin' Joe Biden lied about something else?!?!?!?!?
How is this even news? Other than keeping his promise to his lord and master, Satan, to slaughter as many unborn babies as possible in the next 4 years, what hasn't he lied about?!?!?!?!?

Does the federal government own schools? I'm not talking about DOD schools either.

I'm an academic researcher at heart.
I suggest that the CDC do a quick study of parochial schools, many of which remain open.
If those parochial schools are not super spreaders, which is unlikely, that should provide guidance to the government.
I suspect the goal of teachers unions is to open up in September.

Doktor Jill’s buddies in the NEA must of called her dopey husband and told her to tell him what’s what. We’ll see if Psaki will circle back this when asked.

I want some of my school tax money refunded. Look how much they have saved on heat, air conditioning, water, transportation costs, electric, maintenance. Yes, they have had to pay for some extras but just how much are these extras?

Start home schooling your children. Gets together in your neighborhoods and hire a good teacher to teach groups of your children in your home. Democratic/communists have destroyed our country and our economy, don't let these whack jobs destroy your children.....Got it..

Everyone assumes the teachers unions are giving the marching orders. Who do you think has the most to gain from an illiterate, poor math skills, uneducated in sciences next generation in this new world order global economy? The same foreign countries that got Jo Bi Deng elected!

Did Joe 'circle around and get back' like his press secretary says that means there's plenty of truth in her statements.

On every issue Biden will cater to the far left. He (obviously) has no mind of this own. Unions, radical activists, and socialists will be making all the decisions.

Keep those schools closed. Dumb down our children. Its the lefty way. For the left, dumbness means control.
As long as our government persists in pursuing its own agendas instead of governing, they will become irrelevant. People will work around the government. They'll have to just to survive.

The teachers don't want to go back... they're getting paid... so no skin off their nose if the children are used as political pawns... the teacher's union has obama/biden scared...when will the REAL teachers fight back with their officers... I'll not hold my breath...home schooling is working just fine for now...remember when the government ordered school busing?... WE emptied the public schools and saved the catholic school system... be careful what you pray for... you just might get it...

My youngest has been in school since mid-August, when Trump was president. We're in a rural area of a big non-union, Red state. Our county went 80 percent for Trump's reelection. I wonder if there's a connection?

#4, I'm old enough to remember when the feds were just starting to get involved in education. My school district voluntarily took in a poor black district so their kids could have a better education, and right away the feds started trying to mandate how many minority teachers should be hired. A prescient school board member-- she's very elderly now but sill alive and sharp as a tack, wonder if she remembers this-- gave a speech in which she said 'federal money is 3% of our budget and the feds can go straight to hell.' At the time I was in high school and shocked at her bluntness, but now I think she was one smart cookie! And I wish fed money was still 3% of our school budget--

Biden will not mess with the Teacher’s Unions as they give the Democrats far too much money to alienate them.
