preview

Dozens of teachers met Saturday at Mill Creek Park on the Country Club Plaza to protest the reopening of schools in the fall.7:04 PM, Aug 01, 2020KANSAS CITY, Mo. &nbsp;—&nbsp;Teachers are torn about the fast-approaching school year as in the Kansas City metro.“I don’t think it’s safe yet," said Amanda Laws, a Missouri educator. While they want to see their students in person after months out of the classroom, many told 41 Action News they're concerned about the spread of COVID-19 and the lack of a plan to keep themselves and students protected. “We know that online learning is not the best scenario," Jess Piper, a Missouri teacher, said. "I know that my kids, when they’re in my class they get way more than they do from me online. However, they’ll all be alive if they’re online."Dozens of teachers met Saturday at Mill Creek Park on the Country Club Plaza to raise their voices. “I feel like we as a profession are very reluctant to speak to our needs, and I think it’s great that we’re out here doing that today," Laws said. In Missouri, there is no state model for schools to follow. Gov. Mike Parson left the decision up to school districts to decide on their fall plans. “I have 120 11th graders, so I teach in the high school," Piper said. "So if I have 120 kids, they’re coming into contact with 425 and we’re packed into a pretty small building."Teachers who gathered at Mill Creek Park told 41 Action News they'd like to see a 14-day decline in coronavirus cases before returning to in-person classes.“I think it’s going to come to teachers standing up and saying, I can’t keep your kids safe," Piper said. "If you put 28 kids in my class, I can’t keep them safe and I need them to know that."Copyright 2020 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
