Teachers unions seem to think it's also an opportunity-to squeeze more money from taxpayers and put their private and public charter school competition out of business.
Last week Randi Weingarten, leader of the powerful American Federation of Teachers, declared support for "Safety strikes" if local unions deem insufficient the steps their school districts are taking to mitigate Covid-19.
These public unions are also lobbying their political allies to keep public charter and private schools closed.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has said that if public schools are remote-only, private schools must be too.
In Milwaukee, private schools planning to reopen were blindsided by a state order that no schools can do so until the city meets certain benchmarks.
"On the one hand the teachers unions are rallying their members in places like Massachusetts and Chicago to boycott school openings until their demands are met. On the other hand, there are hundreds of schools that each day are announcing their plans to reopen and the steps they are taking to get their kids learning again."
Or if parents unsatisfied with the public schools' response to the coronavirus decide a private school would be better for their child.
