America Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten joins The Story to discuss the return to in-person school
The president of America’s second-largest teachers union is calling on all schools to be open for five days a week of in-person learning for the next academic year.
Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, made the declaration Thursday as about only half of the nation’s school districts are back for fully in-person learning, according to data from the Return to Learn Tracker website. As of early May, Florida and Iowa are the only states in the country that have all of their schoolchildren back in classrooms, while every other state is still offering varying degrees of in-person and online instruction, the data shows.
