Former Education Secretary Dr. Bill Bennett said parents should seek other means of schooling before they “surrender” their children to those demanding a return to remote learning.
“Children come first, not last,” Bennett said Thursday on “Fox News Primetime.” “They have been a very neglected group over the last couple of years.”
Schools across the country rushed to bring back remote learning amid a national surge in COVID-19 cases. Schools in Washington, D.C., Maine, New York, Virginia, Chicago, and North Carolina have either already switched to virtual learning or are considering closing their doors for in-person lessons. “See if you can go elsewhere,” he added. “If this is the kind of regard they have for you and your children, knowing the circumstance it puts you in as a parent, particularly a single parent, and what this distance learning does for most children, they must not have much regard for you. Think about homeschooling. Think about a charter school. Think about sending your child elsewhere.”
