We, the residents of Rhode Island, Demand Distant Learning continue for the Safety of Our Children

Keep students and staff safe!

Opening schools at this point is reckless and politically motivated ... don’t play into Trump’s I’ll-advised goals! MUCH more planning, precautions, and associated funding is necessary in order to not risk the health & safety of our students & teaches! Do the right thing re: ... “knock it off!”

You say you want it say for the children but what about the teachers being bus drivers and monitors and people that go home to their own kid I don't know how you can say it safe

I do not feel at this time it is safe to open schools for many reasons.

Opening yet is not safe, for our children, teachers , custodians, support staff bus drivers, monitors , and aids and all others that make up school.

Agree!

I don’t think Is safe to send our kids to school until there is a vaccine for the virus. I personally don’t feel safe if they go back because I am due to have my third baby sometime next week and I would not want my kids to go school and bring the virus back to the house.

Please do not experiment with my children.

Distance learning!

I already lost a family member from covid I am not putting my family thru another situation where we can be affected again

Distance Learning needs to continue until we have an effective treatment or vaccine, for the safety of students, families, teachers and staff.

As a single mother and teacher in Providence, I do not feel comfortable returning to school until there aren't any new cases.

Schools will not be safe...period!

Absolutely the right way to go.

I am the mother of 2 Providence school teachers

Yay Auntie Jean!! Always looking out for us!

We need to be 100% sure no one will get sick or worse.

I am no longer in grade school. Although I am now in college, many of my younger relatives are still in elementary school, middle school, or high school. This pandemic has shown me that family is important and should not be taken for granted therefore, I pledge against the return to in-person classes as the chances of getting the virus steadily increase.

Myself, family and friends all have compromised immune systems. I couldn’t imagine how many others are in our position and are scared to go back to work and potentially infect their family and friends.

I believe it would be safer if the children do distance-learning for at least the first month or two even into in the cold season starts
