In reply to the discussion: From a teacher friend....the last paragraph nails it! [View all]mdelaguna
(471 posts)53. Some special ed schooling or services could open but that's different
than opening up all schools. The point is that national and certain state governments have failed to provide adequate resources for the general populace to provision themselves while aspects of the economy have closed, and have failed to meet basic standards for lowering the pandemics rate of infection. I bet special ed teachers would be willing to work with small groups of students in spacious places especially if given extra personnel support to lower teacher student ratios. But have any districts made such provisions of been given funds for them? Anyway this is not about people not caring. Nor should they have to elect to risk their deaths or those of their loved ones in the face of governmental negligence.
