An Open Letter To Bishop McElroy to Re-Open San Diego Catholic Schools

Please Open you schools ...lt is causing harm to the family unit ..challenging mental health of the family...the children need the one on one educational and Catholic enrichment in person ...please open the schools. Thank you for your help in this matter ...Kathy Digiglio

Please open the Catholic schools in the Diocese of San Diego. The children are not a heath risk from COVID19. As an engineering professional, I'm very familiar with ZOOM, WEBEX, etc meetings. They are not nor will they ever be as productive as in-person meetings. Their drawbacks in professional effectiveness are being ignored at this time. In addition, I've observed my grandchildren during their ZOOM-public school classes. As learning venues, they are very poor substitutes for in-person classes. Catholic children need to learn secular subjects and the teachings of their Faith. Please open the schools; end this panic of fear called COVID-1984.

Children need face to face instructions in order to succeed. Science data support our petition, not to mention, the fact that the mind is a terrible thing to lose.

Schools have been open in Europe for months. Sweden never closed their schools. What is happening here defies science and logic. Kids are at little or no risk in fact the risk is effectively zero

Open the schools for children ‘s mental health, saints did.

Please allow our Catholic schools to open in the fall with safety guidelines. Thank you!

Free will!

Please open our diocesan schools.

The necessity to go back to school greatly out weighs any danger to our children and teachers. Let those who do not want to return stay home but permit others to return to school.

These kids need to go back to school

We went to parochial school. Our kids went to parochial school. Let today's kids go to parochial school!

There’s a reason these schools are private.

Please help kids stay on track with their education and a begin new normal routine for our children. It is not healthy for growing minds to be cooped too much. In my prayers for health and safety for all.

Please open! We are desperate! ❤

Our children need to get back to school. The social interaction is necessary for their development and staying at home has additional negative consequences besides lack of learning. Please and Thank you.

If it works in Europe, it will work here!

Best education is the interaction with the teacher and other kids. They learned a lot about the love for the Lord and the love for learning. Our school provides a Christian Center atmosphere for the kids.

Our government is out of control...

Please let our children learn and grow.

May God’s will be done and prevail. All the praises, glory, honor and thanksgiving to our God!
