DeVos: Students Don’t Need To Go Back To 100% In-Person Learning

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos met with Georgia high school officials on Tuesday to discuss reopening plans. While speaking at Forsyth Central High School in Cumming, Georgia, DeVos stated she would like to see all children return to fulltime learning.

However, she clarified that does not mean it needs to be completely in-person.

“President Trump and I are really committed to the fact that kids need to be back to learning fulltime. But don’t mistake learning fulltime for suggesting that every single student needs to be 100% in person in school. We need to give families and students choices.” – Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education

It'd be great if we had a choice in Wicomico County. Nope, no option to send our kids back if we want or need them to go. Ridiculous.

You do have a choice. It's called private school. Plus with Hogan dangling money to the schools, kids will be back soon. Don't worry if it is safe or cleaned extra careful or any of that. Just get them back for their daily day care lessons on socialism.

My Grandson goes to that school where she spoke and was there for her speech. His plan at this time
for college is to major in International Affairs with a focus on East Asian politics and economics.

10:47, Just what private schools in our area? Do I want the fake Christian schools or the WASPS schools?

I pay taxes for the public school system. I'm an honest and hard working person, sorry I don't have enough left over for private school. Must be nice to have the luxury of an extra 15K a year laying around.
