So why are we doing this when we know getting kids back in schools is going to be messy? Because most experts and teachers agree it’s worth it — even if, in the worst case scenario, some schools have to go back to all remote learning in just a few weeks. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org

That means the risks of keeping schools closed are REAL, especially for younger and more vulnerable kids, as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine pointed out in a July report. 6/ https://t.co/rYEhJwWGuf — PolitiTweet.org

In younger kids, in-person learning is crucial to social/emotional learning. They also have access to mental health support and other important services like nutrition for low-income students. 5/ (https://t.co/aoMaDYDRu6) — PolitiTweet.org

Getting pulled out of school has real social/emotional impacts on our kids. In a survey of 3,300 high school students who went all-online this Spring, about 1/3 said they felt more unhappy/depressed than normal, and were worried about basic needs too. 4/ https://t.co/bGHQjee7Dv — PolitiTweet.org

We agree w the American Academy of Pediatrics, which “strongly advocates that all policy for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school,” w the goal of mitigating, not eliminating risks of contagion. 3/https://t.co/Wf6w6Fi4kY — PolitiTweet.org

Please know that we have been working closely with administrators, teachers, boards, parents, kids and medical experts since March on how to make the best of a bunch of bad options. Experts agree that there is risk in going back to school and risk in NOT going back to school. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Hey friends, this week many of our kids will be heading back to school—including my own kids—and I want to share a few thoughts about what to expect. Like everything pandemic related, school reponenings have become controversial. But we will always be better working together. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Another great piece from Andy about viral load. Evidence continues to suggest that outside is better than inside, shorter is better than longer and mask is better than no mask. Even if you get the disease, doing those things likely means mild or no symptoms. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidhatched Good first crop. Then we had to cut back and only water about half the farm for a 2nd crop. Unless the get some wet weather in the next week or two there won’t be any 3rd. — PolitiTweet.org

One more thing. Judging by the smell of burning brakes every day at my house, it appears many of you bought camper trailers and have no idea how to drive them down a steep grade. Remember to gear down, let the engine do the work and don’t ride your brakes! https://t.co/FxrHX0cukH — PolitiTweet.org

@davidhatched We irrigate but our water storage is limited without any rain. We’ve had to shut off all our sprinklers a couple weeks ago. — PolitiTweet.org
