Randi Weingarten: Always Thought We Could Reopen Schools With 'Safeguards' | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
Every day that the Congress/Senate refuses to pass a stimulus, 3000 people die and 6000 people are homeless.
MSNBC has the WORST sound department. Mute the host’s mic when they’re not talking!
Please do not hurry to open the schools. I understand your feelings. But before you decide you should think about what you need to protect kids and teachers. If you have personal protections, installed the barriers, how to keep the distance among kids, … etc. if just one kid or teacher get virus, you will be in big trouble. Think about what needed to protect kids and teachers.
Andy is the best anchor
Andrea Mitchell good reporting about Education i like Randi Weingarten nice plain for Schools….
Remember several months ago when we were talking about how to open schools and if they got the funding, they could make it a lot safer to hold classes in person?
Well, here we are now, with Mitch blocking any funding and the pandemic is spreading worse than ever.
Thanks for nothing, Mitch. Literally.
Baby Ro, how many kids has the coronavirus killed? Just shut up Corn Pop! Lol JoeBidenIsSick.com
@Dementia Joe How’s that voter fraud thing coming along? Any word on what Barr has found? 🤔
😅😂🤣😅😂🤣
@Dementia Joe How many parents and grandparents have died from the Covid their kids infected them with? That is the more important question. You clearly are ignorant of epidemiology.
Why don’t Americans have affordable healthcare, education and housing like Europeans ?
2:32 I like that😍💋 💝💖❤️
brilliantly said and explained, ty pres weingarten and ms mitchell. we must start being sensible, and stop cutting off our noses to spite our faces!! #followtheguidelines #takethevaccine
New York City is not a model for reopening. NYC keeps getting sited as a success while the numbers in NYC are skyrocketing and no one knows the cause. The testing being done in NYC schools is inadequate. Testing 10% of a school per month can be done in one day per month. The results tell us nothing. Stop saying NYC is a model. It’s not.
Please mute Andrea while the guest is speaking.
Not safe to do much with the numbers of Covid-19 cases. Too late to do anything else but avoidance. It too bad Trump did nothing except let the virus spread like wild fire. Sad, the enemy is from within this time and nobody holds him responsible. 911 every day looks pretty horrible.
Here in Pittsburgh, the only students who have had in person classes this year are the special needs kids. Today i walked past our elementary school and the parking lot was nearly empty. No in person school for the special needs ones today. I got home and discovered the new COVID cases for our county topped 1000 for the very first time. It’s getting darker and it’s not even winter yet.
This teacher does not know the difference between NATO and OPEC? Sounds like she needs to go back to school. And we are supposed to take her advice on matters of public health and whether or not it is safe for schools to be open?
Covid deaths are a good thing, they reduce the number of stupid people naturally 😊👍
If your child’s school doesn’t look like these pictures than it isnt just not safe but dangerous. There is no reason schools shouldn’t be doing this. Yet I bet 80% aren’t.
Government is of, for and by the people… not of, for me by the corporation
Shut it down!!!
I think she meant OEDC countries.
Retired 30yrs of service Special Education Teacher here: I heard Randi Weingarten this morning live. I loved her plan to aid Our Kids.
I truly think she would make and awesome Secretary of Education.
