\u201cThe goal is not to reopen schools; it\u2019s to keep schools open. And if we reopen too fast, just as we reopened States too fast, you saw what happened. States had to shut down and schools would have to shut down. And that for me would be just a travesty. You re-traumatize children and further endanger\u2026 their parents and teachers and bus drivers and custodians.\u201d - Arne Duncan, former US Secretary of Education \n\nNormally at this time of year, students would be gearing up for the back-to-school season. But this year, school will look very different for students across the nation. And an even bigger question remains: should schools be opening at all? On today\u2019s episode, we hear from Arne Duncan, former US Secretary of Education from the Obama administration, Stephanie Gounder, a charter school principal in Houston, and journalist Allison Slater Tate. Together, they look back at the impact of remote learning on students, parents, and teachers, and discuss how schools could safely reopen \u2014 if at all.\n\nNominations for the 2020 People's Choice Podcast Awards are open through July 31st.
