The recent decision of the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) to ask teachers to instruct migrant children in-person over spring break while local students still struggle in an online format is a "slap in the face" for one of the parents who questioned the ruling.

Leslie Hofmeister, a parent and the co-founder of Reopen San Diego Unified School District, expressed frustrations regarding teaching migrant children in-person who are staying at the San Diego Convention Center.

Students of San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) are not scheduled to join the hybrid model of in-person and remote instructional kind of learning until Apr. 12.

'A Slap in the Face'

According to National Review, Hofmeister said it is a slap in the face for San Diego parents as they have been begging and pleading with the Education authorities to open the schools and take care of their children. 

While she praised the SDCOE's move in caring for the migrant children, she pointed out that their kids also deserve the same type of care.

The spokesperson of the SDCOE said they are offering an educational program for migrant children who will be staying at the San Diego Convention Center through July, New York Post reported. 

The spokesperson noted that all of the children in California have a constitutional right to education regardless of their immigration status.

The spokesperson also emphasized that they have a moral obligation in ensuring a better future for all of the kids in the state, Fox News reported.

However, Hofmeister questioned the statement and asked the SDCOE if what happened to their moral obligation to San Diego kids. She noted that it is also their obligation to ensure a bright future for them. She added that a number of children who could not go to school are now undergoing some medications.

Hofmeister, who is also a licensed marriage and family therapist, said many students are currently experiencing anxiety and depression, trying to cope with the unusual feeling of being away from their schools.

Other parents have also expressed their sentiments about the issue. One parent, a mother of three, said that all kids should go to school, whether an immigrant or a student of a San Diego taxpayer, as this inconsistency creates confusion.

Hofmeister supported the statement, saying as parents, they cannot ensure a bright future for their kids by retroactively treating them with medications because they did not proactively take a stand in putting them back to school.

The SDCOE noted that teachers who are participating in the program would be volunteers. But as part of safety measures, students will be kept six feet apart and would be required to double mask and be tested for COVID every three days.

However, Hofmeister questioned the effectiveness of the safety precautions that would be imposed in the San Diego Convention Center, where recently, not less than 70 migrant teens tested positive with COVID-19.

Another parent Emily Diaz told Fox News that the system is broken when teachers would teach migrant children in person, while over 100,000 students of taxpaying families are stuck in "Zoom school." 

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa also slammed the quick offer of in-person education to migrant children when local families have been told to wait for "more than a year" for the same opportunity.

Reports said around 250 children are expected to arrive every other day until the San Diego Convention Center reaches its shelter capacity of 1,450.
