The pressure to reopen schools is growing where I live, with more parents pressuring school boards to reopen schools and more school board members resigning in shame for being unable to come up with a reopening plan. The percentage of people who think the damage to children from not being in school is a greater threat than spreading COVID in schools is also increasing. Should note that here in the Bay Area we are seeing COVID cases continue to decline and some area school districts have restarted in-person learning.

What’s the situation like where you are? For those of you who have school-age children, do you think your kids’ schools should be open (if they are not already)? Do you think teachers should be vaccinated before in-person schooling resumes?
