But some also are planning for hybrid systems that combine in-person and remote learning as a fallback. All teachers and staff who want vaccinations will have them, but children will not. Masks and other virus mitigation measures will remain in place in much of the country,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cSome administrators anticipate lunch in the cafeteria again, but others say students probably will have to eat in their classrooms. Some say sports and choir can return. Others aren\u2019t sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>District leaders who spoke to the Post said they were planning for a full return to school, with hybrid systems as a backup in case the virus doesn\u2019t improve. Teachers unions also continue to complicate reopening.<\/p>\n<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that social distancing only requires three feet of space instead of six feet, making it much easier for schools to reopen, yet teachers unions still insist their lives are in danger. As The Daily Wire\u2019s Emily Zanotti previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-data-from-200000-students-across-47-states-reveals-shockingly-low-covid-case-rate\">reported<\/a>, data from more than 200,000 students showed a minuscule infection rate for the coronavirus. In November, the previously administration\u2019s CDC director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cdc-director-schools-among-safest-places-kids-can-be-closing-schools-an-emotional-response-not-backed-by-data\">said<\/a> schools were among the \u201csafest places\u201d kids can be and that closing schools was an \u201cemotional response\u201d unsupported by data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is, for kids K-12, one of the safest places they can be, from our perspective, is to remain in school, and it\u2019s really important that following the data, making sure we don\u2019t make emotional decisions about what to close and what not to close, and I\u2019m here to say clearly the data strongly supports that K-12 schools\u2014as well as institutes of higher learning\u2014really are not where we\u2019re having our challenges,\u201d former CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this information, teachers unions continue to move the goalposts on what it would take for them to agree to reopen schools. Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association, told the Post she still wants to see more research on the issue of reopening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen inequalities all my life, and the last thing we can afford to do at the end of a pandemic that has already disproportionately impacted our Black and Brown and Indigenous communities, the last thing we need to do is to say we did not take the time to do studies in their environments, in their schools,\u201d Pringle told the outlet. \u201cWe still have lots of questions.<\/p>\n<p>District leaders across the country are now trying to overstep teachers unions, who continue to refuse to return to the classroom even when their demands are met. In Massachusetts, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/massachusetts-schools-commissioner-will-try-to-force-schools-to-reopen-over-teachers-union-objections\">given the authority<\/a> to overrule teachers unions. San Francisco is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/san-francisco-sues-its-own-school-district-over-re-opening-plan\">suing its own school district<\/a> after it refused to even provide a plan to return kids to school.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
