Joe Biden’s plans for his first 100 days in office are a little hazy, but he has made noises about getting children back in school; he’s already spoken with the heads of the teachers’ unions, of course, to get their input, and their plan to reopen the elementary schools would run around $100 billion. “You gotta pay for this stuff,” he explained.
Biden on Wednesday made a great argument for opening up the schools now — he said that it’s unconscionable that in America, parents might have to drive to a library parking lot to get WiFi so their kids can learn virtually. That’s unacceptable, says the man who’s been in Washington for nearly half a century.
Joe Biden: "How could it be in America that parents must drive to a parking lot of a coffee shop or a library for wifi…so their children can sit in their car, participate in class and do their homework?"
"That's unacceptable in the United States." https://t.co/nzNA318R9y pic.twitter.com/7YmsfkId9l

?♀️?? government mandates “no in person school classes” and realizes too late that not everyone has WiFi … it’s called zero forethought process in @DNC

The mental health of our children is at stake. They weren’t meant to be confined in a room all day with no social activity or exercise

Opening schools would make more sense.

You were VP for 8 years. What did you do to help this situation?
— Uncle "Curly" Den PhD ™️ (@denwee) December 23, 2020
you had 8 years to fix and build that infrastructure if you wanted. want to know why it is like that? pay your bills or buy internet like everybody else. you can get internet for $40 a month. want to know how to pay it? open the country so people can work

You’ve been in government for half a century.
Rural areas have languished for decades with little to no broadband internet under multiple administrations — one of them was yours.
I’m sure your gonna get on it now!

Maybe the president-elect could call some governors — and his pals in the teachers’ unions — and get those schools opened again.
