School Closure Proponent Randi Weingarten Laments How Bad School Closures Are

EXCERPT:

WEINGARTEN: “You know, you can eviscerate a department by laying off its people, by shutting down a web service or online service. And so what I don't want is I don't want it so shut down in so many ways that kids are really hurt. And then somebody says, 'Oops, we didn't mean to do that.' Kids go through kindergarten once. We already saw during Covid the longstanding problems that happened when schools were shut down too long. We got to make sure we get this right for kids.”
