There is so much controversy about school reopening. And it's hard to say who is right. There are so many arguments on both sides. But, it is understandable to be afraid.

But it seems the virus itself doesn't scare us as much as the confusing and different messages we get from different parts of our governments. Their internal disagreements are now public.

They don't speak with one voice, and we are all wondering – with so much internal debating, how do they have time to do their jobs? We need a uniform approach to this problem, and everyone needs to do their job.

1. We should have coughing classes in schools…

Parents obviously failed to teach their kids.

Kids cough like this in public and the government thinks it’s a good idea to open schools back up. Yeah ok pic.twitter.com/ySh1vJJdFa

2. Math, anyone?

Hey, I am not in school. I don’t want to do the math.

Hmmm that’s a tough one? Can l use a calculator? #ReopeningSchools #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/V3WIs4jrh9

3. Wishful thinking?

Great expectations?

My high school couldn’t even keep soap and toilet paper restocked. You really think they’re going to be able to sanitize schools properly to reopen?

4. Does this make sense?

Donate

It’s good to know the powerful United States economy depends on public schools.

Now explain why public schools have to hold fundraisers, bake sales, and have students donate Kleenex.

5. "Quite breathtaking"

Maybe we deserve all this?

The speed we went from “Teachers are underappreciated, we should pay them triple!” to “Get in the classroom and watch the children so we can get back to work, even if it kills you” is quite breathtaking.

6. Yeah, but they are baseball payers. They are not as disciplined as teenagers…Wait...

Can’t keep 900 baseball players safe with almost unlimited resources but sure we can protect millions of kids jammed into schools where teachers have to raise money on GoFundMe for like pencils and shit.

7. Repeat after me – human beings

Not machines.

Something that has become so disappointingly obvious as we try to safely reopen schools is the # of people who seem to think teachers are just cogs, as opposed to human beings with families, needs, and fear about the future. The school reopening debate needs to be about them too.

8. Do opposite.

Just say no.

9. Are you nuts?

Social distancing for adults only.

school board: it’s completely safe for kids to go back to school

teachers: so you met in person to discuss this

school board: lmao what are you nuts of course not

10. So sad

Young children pay the price of our mistakes.

We closed schools and made everyone except essential workers stay home. Kids didn’t get COVID. Once again, many assumed this meant they *couldnt* and now kids are sick & dying.

We CANNOT keep making this mistake! We don’t learn what’s possible, solely from what has happened!! https://t.co/5RFRv9m1yr

11. Teachers continued to work.

The buildings were closed.

Could we stop saying “reopen schools” and instead say “reopen school buildings”? Because there were a lot of us teaching and guiding student learning, coaching, giving feedback...for months after buildings closed.

12. Double standards.

Spaghetti straps kill, not Covid19

so schools can’t force students to wear a mask... but they can force girls to cover up when they wear a spaghetti strap tank top??? ok.
