Get the kids back to school now.

 When are we going to start thinking about the Generation of kids we have abandoned due to the Covid 19 fear. We send 18 year olds to war without blinking an eye yet we have pressure from the Teachers Union and a myriad of Politicians requiring our schools to stay closed. These kids that we have left to their own devices are the ones who are losing. Families are being torn apart do to both parents working leaving little time for supervision. Kids are failing in their classes because they are not concentrating on their assigned work. You seldom will find a 12 to16 year old who will sit an do home work for 4 hours without supervision. Their minds are outside with their friends. In my day it was different, my Dad would have cuffed me upside the head if I didn't do what I was told and believe me you didn't want that. In today's world the kid just looks at his Mother and Father nods and goes and sits depressed in his room. Teen age suicides are up as we sit on our hands. We've already screwed up the lives of the last graduation Seniors, loss of scholarships, Senior Prom experience and learning to socialize are just a few of the things we eliminated. I don't care if we have to put Teachers behind Plexiglas barriers we have to get them back to work. The Parents I know are at their wits end trying to help their children succeed in life and the system has failed badly. It's time to change things, if necessary give teachers surgical masks each day and rubber gloves. Have an appointed monitor to scrub down the class room each day. The States where schools are open are doing fine.
