“Should school remain open or close” probably one of the most difficult question of this year should you send your kid to school in a pandemic. Is education more important than your health?

In my opinion, No of course not your kid's health should be first and I'm not saying education should be affected by that in any way.

In US, there is a spike in COVID-19 positive rising from 2.8% to 13.6% at Campus Health after the states decide to open colleges for in-person classes. After this backlash, The university will shift all undergraduate in-person instruction to remote learning, effective Wednesday, Aug. 19. That's just one collage there are many who didn't even think to do the same.

Another question comes that should they pay that much for a zoom course, Getting into a college debt is a serious problem and that too in a pandemic where getting a job is another quest.

I agree that studying zoom and paying for an in-person college experience is not fair but that is how it is that does mean you should send your kid to get your money well spent.
