Teachers "Scared" After All Florida Schools Ordered To Reopen In August

In what is sure to be discussed with some "blood on their hands" headline in the next 24 hour news cycle, Fox35 Orlando reports that Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran on Monday ordered public schools to reopen in August and offer “the full panoply of services” to students and families.

The full Emergency Order says that all public schools will be required to reopen in August for at least five days a week and to provide the full array of services required by law, including in-person instruction and services for students with special needs.

“Required services must be provided to students from low-income families, students of migrant workers, students who are homeless, students with disabilities, students in foster care, students who are English-language learners, and other vulnerable populations,” the order says.
Corcoran's order also instructs school districts to follow the advice of state and local health officials as well as executive orders issued by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

  2. Kids need to learn. Everyone knows "distance learning" is an oxymoron. Teach them or get a new job- it's really not that complicated.

  7. Fire every teacher that gives flak about returning. Replace them with teachers that actually have a passion for teaching instead of democrats who are just in it for the money/agenda. You will automatically fix many problems with education instantly.

  8. As a teacher, I find this cowardly and ridiculous. A lot of us are secretly quite conservative, we just can't voice our opinions without coming under attack. Maybe some fear-mongering alt-left teachers will quit and make room for more of us who are rational and see what's really going on in this country 🤞

  9. I guess teachers aren't among those considered essential workers.

  10. The teachers need to be in schools teaching the children. Why is their situation any different from a nurse, grocery store worker, food service worker? If they want to stay home their pay needs to be cut.

  11. 9:53 good luck finding teacher to teach your bad, ignorant kids. If you dummies wore your masks and social distanced instead of believing some conspiracy theory crap, maybe schools could safely reopen. No one with half a brain wants to send their kids to school to catch coronavirus. Funny you ignorants believe in Jesus but not a virus. SMH

    1. Hahaha. I sent my kids to private school. Only smucks trust their kids to go to public school. You send your kids to public school without a care. Now you're worried about coronavirus?? EMBARRASSING. Go shiver in the corner until next year. You must be a teacher?? You sound like one. PATHETIC.

  12. Challenge isn't firing all teachers who don't agree, its the problem of a mass sick out or if they all do leave - who is left to teach?

    3 occupations right now not favorable to the next generation:

    - 1st responders (LEOs, EMTs, firefighters)
    - military
    - teachers

    What is the solution given the social cray cray going on? Hell I don't know.

  13. 9:53 are you applying to be a teacher? Doubt it, because most people wouldn't last a week at the head of a classroom

  14. Can we agree it seems so confusing? Resteraunt and bars are a danger. Movie theaters, gyms even the beach is a danger. But schools are good. Come on. I don't know one teacher who enjoyed teaching online. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

  15. Dear readers,

    If you read the full context of the order, you will see that opening schools is to coincide with health department regulations. Further, if you look at other states ( VA for example ) you will see a similar process. In short, schools (locally and nationally ) will open this fall. The reason this is news is three fold. First, with the current guidelines in effect, schools will need to provide the required social distancing. This creates space issues in schools and on school busses. Bringing all students back to school immediately will not happen until the health department guidelines are relaxed/modified to reflect relevant data.

    Second, IDEA (a federal mandate regarding special education services) is an issue as school systems are required to provide services (regardless of a pandemic) to special education students. Students with mild disabilities can be serviced through several virtual means, but students with moderate or severe issues require in face / on site interaction and instruction. Given the requirements stated above regarding health department guidelines, and the fact that students in the moderate/severe categories must be served, they will be the first to return to school. Simply, school systems would certainly be liable for suit if they do not prepare to receive these students first.

    Finally, there are only so many busses in a school system, and it is very difficult to retain drivers, let alone the cost of the busses. To observe social distancing, far fewer students will be on busses, and that alone will be a significant challenge to address.

    With all of that said, the teacher/staff situation is addressed in simple fashion. The contracts signed reflect the employer/employee agreement regarding expectation of services provided. If the school is open, the staff reports. There is no doubt going to be an outcry regarding this from the associations and unions, but it is a moot point. A phased opening will occur in a school systems starting with special education and the youngest students (k-3 I would expect). After a period of time upper elementary will be added, and after a further period of time middle and eventually high school students will be added. Teachers and staff will report as required by contract or, quite frankly, will be in violation of their contracts, and that is simply the end of it.

    Regards,

  17. P (9:33) All those years in civil service is greatly appreciated.

    Totally (and I'm sure most are reacting the same) forgot about special education/needs students. A HUGE quandary with that, the 3 levels of schools, the busing, teachers, parents and the entire national "feelings" on all matters.

    WOW.

  18. if you are so scared of lawsuits, quit your job and have someone else pay your bills, if you are so scared to stick your head outside because you think the cooties are going to fly down and infect you, please stay home and have another person pay your bills.... Liberal Teachers with the agendas pushing on students are part of the problem
