Are Teachers requesting that they be furloughed without pay or that school district taxes be refunded to tax payers? If not, it seems a bit rich to ask taxpayers to pay for a service they are not receiving.
Additionally - part of that service is not only the academic instruction, but SUPERVISED instruction, breakfast/lunch and sports. Moving classes online comes nowhere close to replacing the original services contracted for.
- Junk_Collector 6y agoThis comes across as callous but it's not wrong. More to the point, the sad state of affairs is that for many children, being in school is the only time they are well fed, have social interaction, or escape an abusive household. There is a real human cost to closing schools, just as there will be a real human cost if we open them. The question should be what are the relative costs.
