Despite the fact that the United States continues to suffer from the coronavirus pandemic, life continues and it is time for a new school year to start, a situation that has become a new concern for the government and for parents.
The President of the United States has declared on more than one occasion that children should return to school, and although it is aware that some states continue to have high coronavirus outbreaks and that this makes it difficult to return to school, it continues to seek measures to make it safe.
One of the issues being discussed in the United States Congress to include in the economic rescue package is education. Democrats and Republicans continue negotiating to deliver a certain amount to the schools of the North American country.
While some states have heeded Trump’s proposal and they have opened the schools, others prefer to continue doing it online, not wanting to take risks.
