Past simple

Listen, quarantine's over, the kids have to go back.

Do you know how hard it's gonna be to socially distance 30 kids in the classroom?

And you know those school bathrooms don't even have soap.

How come you politicians have your kids home schooled, yet you want to sacrifice the health and life we're living?

But no, no, no, you're not the one fighting it.

Plus, it's proven the kids are strong and are protected from COVID.

I know you expect us to surf the second wave, but this study out of South Korea says that children are affected exactly the same.

Some have obesity, others breathing trouble.

And none live in a bubble, which means if they catch the virus and take it home, their parents and grand parents are in trouble.

But you want kids to go to school and play Corona tag.

You know, it's funny how all of a sudden you care about education.

Because no cap, I learned more watching YouTube videos than I did in class.

So don't tell me school is perfect, because that's bogus.

I'm not trolling, but I knew a kid who graduated high school and couldn't even read his own diploma.

See, classroom learning is equal or worse,  to e-learning.

And if you don't believe me, check out this study that concluded classroom learning is equal or worse, to e-learning.

Yeah, but kids need socialization and physical interaction, okay?

Seriously? School tells kids to sit there but down and don't talk to each other for eight hours a day.

Plus, how are kids gonna interact when they are 6 ft apart?

Yes, teachers are the most important factor for a student's success, which is why you should treat them with more respect.

Yet many have to buy their own supplies because you refused to invest.

And once again, during COVID, they are the ones you neglect.

See, you're giving them the short end of the stick.

God forbid but, are you gonna pay the medical bills when these great teachers get sick?

I mean I get your points, socialization and hanging with friends is needed for a healthy mind.

And the only way I think physical class could work is if we have it outside.

You know, kids do learn better when they're actually alive.

I know you want more business as usual, you love the fact that prisoners get more time outside than students do.

But see, outside learning is what they did during the Spanish flu and tuberculosis, too.

Still social distance, follow all protocols for prevention, but give them fresh air and vitamin D, which are proven to boost the immune system.

So here's what I conclude - give them 1 to 2 days a week in an outside classroom.

Those who need hot meals any day should be able to pick up the food, but the rest of class will be online.

Now, when in class, follow all the guidelines like masks and/or face shield which protects the eyes, and get creative.

Let students police themselves for every day of safe behavior, they get points.

If they get enough points that get, I don't know, a week vacation.

Here's some protocols from other countries that I want you to read and understand because one life lost is one too many.

I know you have other interests involved, but even you shouldn't want this blood on your hands.
