Stop 100% in person learning in Iowa


Stop 100% in person learning in Iowa
The Issue
Kim Reynolds recently signed a bill forcing schools to go 100% online or 100% in person. Many students have expressed that they do not feel safe with this choice. Both options are not ideal. Schools already struggle to achieve proper social distancing with the hybrid model. Switching to 100% in person will not allow students to social distance and stay safe. It will lead to the virus spreading much quicker than it already is. Yet with the 100% online classes many students tend to struggle. Lots of students have difficulties learning online as well as having the self discipline to complete the work. Students are forced to either go to school where they have a high chance of getting sick or doing online school where they struggle to pass the classes. School districts should have the option to do whatever plan keeps their students passing classes and staying safe. The bill Reynolds signed does not allow this.
