'Large public school systems remained closed in the 2020-2021 school year, while Catholic schools generally opened in fall 2020 and remained open in person all year. The Catholic schools reopening made a big difference.' -dcexaminer
In summer and fall 2020 and even into 2021, the Biden campaign and administration, hundreds of large public school systems, and the teachers unions set fear as their guiding star, or perhaps they deployed it as the main justification for their politically motivated positions.Large public school systems remained closed in the 2020-2021 school year, while Catholic schools generally opened in fall 2020 and remained open in person all year. The Catholic schools reopening made a big difference.
Some local politicians and health czars attacked the Catholic schools for opening, but the openers were right about the harms of remote learning and the safety of in-person schooling. Opening the schools during the pandemic did not significantly increase the threat of death or serious illness from COVID, and in fact seems to have resulted in better health all around.
More damning, the schools and unions acknowledged that remote learning was an inferior product. Matt Meyer, president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, resisted reopening in February 2021 while sending his child to an in-person private school. Finally, these are teachers we are talking about. Educating people is their vocation. When some parents were too scared to send their children to school, teachers should have led the way.
