4 The Goodland Star-News / Friday, April 2, 2021 opinion from our viewpoint... But wait, we thought you hated mandates? Now we have the governor and the Republican Legislature joining forces to order school districts to end dual-track classes and get students back into classrooms for the final quarter of the school year. Fine. We agree. Students need to be in class. Everyone knows last year’s attempts at remote education were at best a stopgap. Schools across the country reported classes fin- ished the year way behind where they should have been. Minority and other “disadvantaged” students reportedly were especially hard hit, Everyone, liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Demo - crats, should be able to agree on these priorities. The evidence is in-person classrooms are more productive and better for students. Experience generally has shown the dangers of having kids in school may have been exaggerated anyway. Kids don’t seem to get or transmit this corona virus the way adults do. All that given, we do need to see kids back in class, and the sooner, the better. Many school districts had already adopted this stance and had shifted to in-person classes, or were in the process. Some started much earlier. The sight of the Legislature ganging up with the governor to issue a mandate, however, is more than a little troublesome. Just a month ago, the legislators clashed with Gov. Laura Kelly over her authority to issue executive orders under the Kansas Emergency Management Act. In two or three major revisions of the act in the last three years, Senate passes more bills both sides won some victories.
