Biden math on schools reopening 10/5/20

Did anyone do the math for Biden tonight when he said his plan for reopening schools was this.

Take 25 kids and break it down to smaller classes. 12 in 1 class and 12 in the other class. Um Joe that's 24 kids. Guess 1 kid is "left behind".

The better question is why does the President have to have anything to do with schools opening in the first place? The schools are already open where I live, will we have to close them if Biden wins so that he can reopen them?

Wow, with that plan the number of new teachers is going to soar. Not to mention the construction costs to add on to the buildings for additional classrooms. But those don't matter in the feel good report.

Both of my kids are teachers. Both are elementary special ed based. One has nearly 50 students. She would probably vote for Joe just to get the smaller classroom, but she isn't that naive.
