The Falklands are Serbian, you cowards.
This thread is for what happens this fall in the public schools (no idea what the private schools are planning on atm) now that the unions have decided not to work.
We all subconsciously know at this point that re-opening schools in the fall will be a shitshow, and right on time we have this:
San Jose Teachers Refuse to Return to the Classroom Citing "Unsafe Conditions"

Note: SJUSD is about 29,000 students.
Ah, but are they making room for any students in the classroom? Bet on the first students being allowed back being "disadvantaged," and everyone else being hung out to dry.
Yeah, probably a good idea to look at your re-opening plan if the people you plan on having staff the schools are determined not to show up.
One aspect of this that's interesting to me is that these massive institutions, including public schools, are being exposed as being totally unable to operate under novel stresses. These teacher's unions effectively own their school districts, and as such can call the shots about this fall. This effectively holds a huge chunk of the economy hostage, as single-parent or two-income households have no real options for childcare other than the schools. Karen the Teacher—rightly or wrongly—feels bad and weird about COVID, is disinclined to objectively evaluate her own risk, and is ok getting paid not to work. Ergo, they are not willing to show up until they feel "safe":
Funny how everyone needs to feel safe all of a sudden; the irony is that if this safety standard were rigorously applied in American public schools, they would never open.
Despite not having the positive ability to to cope with the COVID threat in a constructive manner, teacher's unions have the negative ability to absolutely fuck up any and all hopes and plans that this fall would be any kind of a return to normalcy. The silver lining here is that some percentage of normies might become more interested and active in what their school district is doing, what with all this governmentally-enforced free time they have.
Stay tuned folks, the potential for chaos is immense.

San Jose teachers said Friday that they are refusing to go back into the classroom next month until conditions are safe in this COVID-19 era, a move that may set a trend for teachers throughout the state.

A spokesperson for San Jose Unified said the first day of school is scheduled for August 12, with one teacher in the classroom instructing some students in class and others virtually.
Now that teachers are refusing to go back into the classroom, the district is taking another look at that plan.

San Jose teachers are following the California Teachers Association lead. The group put out a statement saying in part, “We cannot reopen schools until it is safe.”
