Arne Duncan: “Learning begins at home with parents and families.”

The goal here is not to reopen schools, the goal is to stay open.

You can lie to parents about a lot of things, but if you start taking away opportunities from their children, you better watch out.

The goal is not to reopen schools, the goal is to keep schools open. Do it slowly, gradually, thoughtfully, carefully.

We should not be in this situation. No teacher, no child, no parent deserves this. The truth is the vast majority of kids around the country cannot go to physical school because it is not safe to do so.
