WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)âDonald J. Trump should use this time when he is staying at home to repeat first grade, the nationâs teachers are urging.
Carol Foyler, the executive director of the National Alliance of Elementary Educators, said that the homebound Trump has a âgolden opportunityâ to use remote learning to repeat the first-grade curriculum.
âAt a time when many of our nationâs children are being homeschooled, this seems like the perfect time for President Trump to learn the basics of reading, writing, and math,â she said. âBy June, he could be reading âHop on Popâ and âGo, Dog, Go!â â
She added that anyone at the White House would be qualified to homeschool Trump, âexcept Jared.â
Foyler acknowledged that the plan for Trump to repeat first grade had faced dissent from some of the nationâs teachers, who felt strongly that he should first repeat kindergarten.
âFrom an educational standpoint, the kindergarten curriculum is mainly devoted to socialization and getting along with others,â she said. âI think the ship has sailed on that.â
That disagreement aside, Foyler said that the nationâs elementary educators were prepared to offer Trump a broad array of online learning resources. âHe will have everything he needs to repeat first grade while Dr. Fauci runs the country,â she said.
