Detroit voted to allow its union to call a strike for plans to open public schools for face-to-face learning.
Educators and families in the United States continued to grapple this week with the confusing reality of opening schools amid a pandemic, as teachers’ unions threatened strikes, schools were reconsidering plans to reopen on the fly and school districts, discovering new cases. , improvising quarantines and cleanings.
Teachers’ voices in the reopening debate took center stage Wednesday in Michigan, where the Detroit Federation of Teachers voted to allow its executive committee to call a strike on plans to open up face-to-face learning to the public.
“It’s just not safe for us to return to our buildings and study rooms right now,” the union said in a video before the vote, and mentioned more than 1,400 virus-related deaths in the community.
New York City’s tough teachers’ union tried Wednesday to pressure the mayor to delay or cancel his plan to reopen the city’s 1,800 schools on September 10. The president of the United Federation of Teachers threatened to sue the city or strike if the City may simply not meet a list of protection requirements, and asked that all students and staff be evaluated before the start of the school year.
Public sector workers are prohibited from moving by law in New York, but teachers have threatened to stop patients if they feel that school buildings are unsafe.
On Wednesday, academics were surprised when the College Board said more than 178,000 academics who signed up to take the SAT admission check on August 29 probably wouldn’t, as almost part of the check sites at the Run with limited capacity. In total, about 402,000 fellows were expected to receive the check that day.

Some schools and universities were retreating as epidemics erupted on campuses that had just reopened.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has moved undergraduate courses completely online due to 4 infection teams, and the University of Notre Dame said it would move to online training for at least the next two weeks for a developing epidemic. And Michigan State University, which was scheduled to open on September 2 for face-to-face courses, announced that all undergraduate academics would be briefly informed.
Sorority and fraternity houses have experienced epidemics. Photos and videos circulating widely on the Internet show other young people collecting without an outdoor mask in bars in university towns or partying in large numbers.
In Georgia, where some K-12 school districts opened a mask arrest warrant, several major schools temporarily closed after the outbreaks were discovered.
In Florida this week, Gov. Ron DeSantis compared teachers’ and principals’ commitment to the Navy SEAL’s determination to attack Osama bin Laden. The state has ordered all schools to offer categories in person until August 31, in the most affected Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Many academics across the country will start school from home, and their parents will get littleArray In a recent survey for the New York Times, only one in seven parents said their children would be back in school full-time this fall, but 4 out of five said they would not have a face-to-face relationship to educate and worry about young people at home.
