My daughter teaches 5th grade reading in a public school here (a large metro system) and she and around 2/3 of all our teachers do not want to hold regular classes this fall. Our school board held an on-line public hearing tonight and I'm anxious to hear from her how it worked out.

Thank you for helping to keep this in front of the public. I believe the more areas that announce they are not holding regular classes, many more will quickly follow.
