The reason for pushing for schools to reopen for in-person education is to let parents get back to work and get the economy going because an economic downturn is bad for his election chances. That is what it is all about. He doesn't care about the safety of children or their educational quality, it is all about trying to prevent the economy from continuing a downward trend leading into November.

Agreed. The ironic part of all this is that if there was actual leadership and cohesiveness from the federal level starting with him, that would have helped to prevent the economy going backwards again (which I predict will happen again). What I mean is if he would have insisted and leading the charge on everyone wearing masks and social distancing while carefully reopening a couple months ago until vaccines are out, then chances would be a lot better for schools and the economy reopening. But there wasn't as there was a complete opposite do nothing approach from the White House.
