So many debates about this now. Aren't there any options , like parents have the choice to just really home school their child or children and others would have the option of just really bringing back the kids back to school ?
The virus is one of the things that stops most if not all parents from letting their child go back to the physical school and another is, it has been said that if school will not be opened or if teachers will not go back to teaching in school the government will no longer fund them.
So, what's your take about this ?

All we can do right now is make ourselves and our family healthy so we might not even need vaccine :-)

@amitkokiladitya it sure is a big question. Read controversies about having a child vaccinated, implications and reasons why parents are either delaying or refusing having their child vaccinated.
Stay safe and happy weekend.

It is wrong on the part of government to stop grants to the schools not conducting physical classes. After all they are conducting online classes, they have to the teachers and other non teaching staff. The covid situation is still very bad all over the world. It is not advisable to risk the lives of the children sending them to the school.

Exactly.
Come to think of it, there's a delay tactic by who knows who or who knows what? 1st there was a promise/ a talk about the stimulus check that will be given every month (every month as I still remember), correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, the grants for teachers will not be given if teachers will not teach in schools.
The delay tactic is diverting people's attention to the non funding of teachers so people will forget about the stimulus check that was promised.
People are more stressed now with all these things going on.

@baguiojade I agree with you fully. It is so irresponsible to deny the schools their legitimate grants.

The teachers still teach through online programs set up by the schools. So, if they don't homeschool, it will be that way. They're still talking about the possibility of going back to school here in the fall.

At present all parties are facing the same problem. Related to educational problems, there is a kind of dilemma in it. On one side of education is very important, while on the other hand health is also very important. So our best step right now is to refrain from all kinds of endless debates. Leave it to the Government, they certainly have experts who have been tested in their fields to be able to find a way out of all these problems.
