And yet, in a time of covid, there is nothing normal or easy about it. School matters. Our cover story is reported by david pogue. [yelling] reporter these parents and teachers may look like theyre arguing over the reopening of schools this fall it is not safe yet. I dont think we have enough testing in place. I can guarantee thate will t places you may have gone. Reporter but they all want the same thing what is best for the kids. My son barely has had any conversations with other children since march. Reporter the only part they disagree on is what is best for the kids. If the most important thing is our kids education and social development, there is only one answer. We believe that school should be open, but it has to be done safely. Reporter dr. Sally goza is a pediatrician and amicdemy oent of the pediatrics. We know that children get more than just reading, writing, and arithmatic at schools. They learn to get along with other children, they get healthy meals, they get good exercise. Reporter trying to learn at home on a screen has all kinds of problems. Kids dont learn as well that way, theyre more exposed to domestic abuse. And how are parents supposed to work when their young kids are stuck at home . But if what is best for the kids is minimizing their exposure to the covid virus, then the answer is different keep them home. I dont want to hear eyher theirts are sick or grandparents sick. Reporter Deshanna Barker is at the academy for writers in new york city. She is also a parent. The pediatricians and the Mental Health experts say kids cant stay home for a year looking at the laptop screens. They need to be among other people. I agree. However, we wont be able to worry about social emotional issues with our children if theyre getting sick or their parents are take those pictures as well. Reporter even if students can keep six feet apart in the classroom, how do they do that in the hallways or in the cafeteria or on school buses. What about things they touch, like lockers and computer keyboards . At this moment, bow half of u. S. Schools begin the semester online, the other half will welcome students into the buildings, at least parttime. That includes the Largest School in the country, with 1. 1 Million Students and 1800 schools. Thank you for joining us, chancellor. Are you getting much sleep these days . Sleep, what is that . I havent slept until march. Tell us who was involved in drafting the plan . Weve had superintendents, parents, the medical professionals, weve had epidemiologists. When you have that many voices, it is sometimes a little messy, but that is okay. Reporter the resulting plan is for schools to open in september, but to allow enough space for distancing, each school divides its students into two or three groups, and will go to school on alternate days of the week, and the remaining days theyll learn at home. Meanwhile, inside the schools, the city intends to live by the five scientific golden rules. When we speak with our medical experts, they say the number one thing you should be doing is face coverings for all individuals in the building. Were going to remind students and continue to make it a game so it is fun to wear the face masks. Second one is at lot of handwashing. And continuous cleaning, and the fourth thing is social distancing. And the fifth thing is ventilation of an indoor space. You have to do all fivto have the best chance of really negating the possibility of spread. Reporter theyre not quite that strict in spring hill, tennessee, where students started school two weeks ago. In person, five days a week. Masks are optional. A parent has that option to have their child wear a mask. They choose to wear a mask if they want to, but there is no punishment if they do not. Reporter marisa is the principal. Will they notice any changes to the setup or the routine . Every child gets a Temperature Check when they get out of the car. They will eat lunch in the cafeteria, but well space them out more. Reporter the real problem is when a child gets infected and doesnt show symptoms, because children often dont, and then brings it home to the grandparents. And that could be a possibility, just like with a other virus, that does that, you can bring it home to anybody. Reporter you have seen that some schools have opened and a couple of them have had to backtrack. Does that make you nervous at all . It doesnt make me nervous they we cant live our lives in fear, and we have to think what is best for us and our kids. If we were to shut down, we could do that and it leinc,be okay. Thespeally twhen it mes to reopg the schools. Millions of kids dont have computers or even internet access. How are they supposed to learn at home . Many wealthier families, meanwhile, are forming what are called pandemic pods. Were forming a pod together. That means were only going to socialize together. Reporter jonathan and sarah alloy are working parents in san francisco. They have joined two other families whos children will all be attending school remotely. Describe how this works. Were hiring a tutor not to replace our Public School teachers, but to the kide paying attention, theyre going to make sure that the kids are doing their class work and homework and theyre getting exercise and having recess and being safe. The kids need snacks at random times. The kids need to be told, zoom starts in two minutes. Get ready. Reporter can i ask what it costs for the tutor . Well pay 40 an houfour kid going to be saying, you, wealty california executives. What are the rest of us supposed to do . We are incredibly fortunate that we are able to partner together with re a tutor. Ies andford we recognize that is not the case for everyone. And there is definitely some guilt there. Reporter one thing is for sure this school year wont look like any other. In the u. S. Or anywhere else. In thailand, some students sit in isolation chambers. In senegal, workers spray returning students with disinfectant. In india, some classes meet outdoors, where the virus very rarely spreads. In denmark, the students sit, eat, and play oe playground in isolated clusters. But in the united states, every state has different infection rates, and we have no National Strategy to guide us. So were stuck with a menu of terrible choices, and no single solution that can work everywhere. So the uncertainty, the disagreements, and the fears remain. If you could address anxious students who happen to be watching this right now, do you have any words of reassurance . I can tell you, we want nothing more than to see you go back to scho reporr tea o reopenine hools enou in this moment, what we really want to see, we want to know that youre safe. That you are safe and that your family members that you go back home to are going to be safe. Without that, we dont think it is time, just yet, for you guys to go back. Reporter bought chancellor carranza says the schools will be ready. We are leaving no stone unturned. We are consulting with all of our medical experts. We are more strict than what anyone else has told us to be. I would give my life before we take one of yours. And thats the weight that i carry with me every single day. Y when you add a base.

Reporter even during a pandemic, there is nothing that says summer quite like a big, juicy slice of watermelon. And if you want some of the sweetestte america, you would do well to head hermiston, oregon. It is just a small slice of americana. That was very subtle. Reporter that is where jacks family has been growing watermelons since 1942. My grandfather started growing watermelons i think to keep his energetic kids busy. It was like a 3acre field. Reporter tatwas an spot for growing watermelon. We have typically very warm days, but the nights are much cooler, and it it increases carbohydrates in the plants, which equate to sugars, and sugars equate to sweeter watermelon. Reporter he wasnt sure there would be o covid, bu, boy, was he wrong. It is good times, picnics, kids enjoying their backyard. People need a reason to feel good. Reporter it is sort of the summer equivalent of a comfort food, really . Absolutely. Reporter comfort for anna dickman and her daughter, or more equately, a group of wedding guests in utah. They said you better send watermelon down to us. Reporter this is crossing state lines because thats how good it is. If you come from oregon, you have to bring us was the meli watermelon. Reporter ken albala at the pacific in california, has the art of selecting a watermelon down pat. I always see people tapping watermelons, and i do it, but i dont know what im listening for . The pump, pum, pum, it means it will be mushy. Reporter whats the sound im listening for . It almost sounds like a drum. Reporter he says watermelon, which appear in the bible and king tuts tomb, come from africa. The reason they first cultivated these were not for the flavour, but for the water. Reporter this was harvesting ground water and have nature put it into a convenient ball shape for you . Thats exactly it. Reporter once we started eating watermelon, the focus shifted to taste and color. It was bred to be sweeter and more red. The original ones were ee pictureselsh of watermelon that have the bright pink. Reporter was the melindas were brought to was the brought from spain. And during their time here in the u. S. , they have changed even more. More watermelons are seedless, with harder, rounder rinds, which are much easier to transport. In japan, theyve even taken it a step further, using model models molds to groe and heartshaped watermelons. Back in hermiston, my mouth was watering for something traditional and straight out of the field. Social distancing. Reporter this i yosh, cheers cheers reporter thats so good. I would agree it seems really good, but can i have another section to be 100 sure. This is cbs sunday morning, and we take our jobs very seriously. You guys are dedicated to yos, exactly. Cowan last week marked the centennial of ratification of the 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote. 100 years sounds like a s, t time, but as face ake for nted was a very long time incoming. Brennan last tuesday, with banners, bells, streamers, and skydives, nashville celebrated the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote. [cheering] [applause] we, the women marched and sang and spoke brennan rosanne cash added her voice to the celebration. We, the women, earned the right to vote around nashville, around tennessee, we all rang bells, and i rang one here in new york. [laughter] brennan but back in 1920, the city was stunned to sile whistles and all kinds of things were ringing across the country, but not in nashville. It was still too raw, controversial. Brennan nashville attorneys Jeanie Nelson and Margaret Vann raised more than 3million dollars to raise a vote for women room. We want to make sure when people leave this room, they understand that women werent given the vote, that it was a bitter struggle and it almost didnt happen. Reporter by august 1920, 35 states had ratified the 19th amendment. Only one more was needed. The suffrages realize there was only onethatt might be t, and that was tennessee. Reporter historian elaine weiss has written about that pivotal moment. They had opposition files. They had to learn to take hold of the levers of power, and they had to learn the game. Reporter leading suffrages like Carrie Chapman catt gathered at the hotels. Carrie chapman catt was the leader of the main organization. Reporter historian susan ware. She has been involved in the Movement Since the 1880s. She is ready to bring this to a close. Oh, dear reporter an army of antisuffrages was there as well. Women are wanting to vote brennan so what is their rationale . For some, it is a religious and moral decision. Some feel that women seeking equality will lead to a disruption of gender roles. For others, they a soth they are racist and they dont want black women to vote. Brennan also weighing in on the antisuffrage side ere are corporate interests that dont want women to get the vote. They fear if women could get the vote, they would want to abolish child labor. Brennan the liquor lobby kept a suite on the eighth floor of the hotel, free drinks for legislators 24 7. Theyre liquoring up the legislators . You bet. And Carrie Chapman catt was asked, is every legislator drunk. And she was like, yes, yes, they are. The challenge is that it was always going to be men that would make the decision. And you had to be able to find ways to encourage them to perhaps take a step that they might not otherwise. Brennan the stakes were high for the 1920 president ial election just around the corner. Theyre 10 weeks out from an election in which i not yeah. The dreaffrages and 27 million women are riding on this. Brennan it had been a long road since elizabeth and luk lucrecia held one of the conventions in 1848. Women had marched, they had organized, they had lobbied congress, picketed the white house, and gotten arrested, and now on the eve of the vote in tennessee. The night before the suffrages realize, they do the math and theyre not going to be able to pull it out. Theyre going to be a little bit short. Their support has just dissolved. Brennan the next morning, as crowds gather at the state house, 24yearold harry t. Burn intends to vote no. That morning he receives a letter from hi mother. She says, i noticed in the newspapers it doesnt say youre supporting ratification. Be a good boy and support mrs. Catt and get ratification through. And he votes. I always favored votes for women. Reporter in 1963, burn told cbss Walter Cronkite about that day. When i knew i was going to go on record in time and eternity, i voted for ratification. The susan b. Anthony amendment becomes the law of the landlduggle was won. Brennan young suffrages who helped force the last links of that chain were not born when it began. Old suffrages who forced the first links were dead when it ended. But for black women, the fight was far from over. Black women anticipated that even after the 19th amendment was ratified, they will face poll taxes, literacy tests, and intimidation and vials. Brennan martha s. Jones has written about it in the continuing fight for equality. Black suffrages are the universal suffrages. From the beginning of the 19th century, on through the 19th amendment, and all the way to the Voting Rights of 1965, it is africanamerican who sound the call, no racism, no sexism in americanliticsnn timo the strength and diversity of the women who fought for equal rights and continue to do so today. When youre asking what is the role of women, who gets to vote and those in power, what they do sometimes to keep people those issues, whether they are in 1920, theyre still here today. Back off youre not welcome here get out of my face hpv can cause certain cancers when your child grows up. Get in its way. Hpv can affect males and females. And theres no way to predict who will or wont clear the virus. But you can help protect your child by taking a first step. The cdc recommends hpv vaccination at age 11 or 12 hey cancer not. My. Child. Dont wait. Talk to your childs doctor about hpv vaccination today. Cowan to stand out in the world of sports, athletes have to aim high. But sometimes you have to aim high with a little attitude. Youre looking at one of the topranked archers in 37yd ma stutz, from fairfield, iowa. The last time we looked into it, 1 of archers make a living shooting a bow. Cowan he is that good. January 2010, i decided to be the best archer in the world. Silver, right . E the u. Amdtoy fi all with his feet. Yep, one of the most celebrated archers in the world was born without arms. When i first started, it was, like, look at this guy without arms. And now it is, like, urh, matt is here. Cowan able bodied archers he has vested time and time again. That was my first number one in the world. Cowan numberin the wo ballhad t manual for this. No. No. Cowan his only adaptation is a strap around this chest, which he uses to pull the bow string back.
