POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WHAT THEY’RE PUSHING FOR AND HOW
CHIEF JAMES CRAIG IS RESPONDING
THIS AFTERNOON.
PAULA?
>> Paula: IT IS QUITE POSSIBLY
ONE OF THE MOST LONELY PLACES ON
THE FACE OF THE PLANET.
A REMOTE TEACHER ALONE IN HER
CLASSROOM.
WE’RE FLIES ON THE WALL TO SHOW
YOU WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
IT’S A GORGEOUS DAY!

COMES FROM GOVERNOR WHITMER.
YESTERDAY, SHE WASN’T READY TO
OPEN GYMS BUT THAT CHANGED 24
HOURS LATER.
WE RECEIVED THE ORDER FROM LANSING.
THIS ORT -- ORDER COVERS MORE
THAN JUST GYMS.
>> Mara: IT COVERS MICHIGAN
SPORTS AS WELL.
GYMS AND POOLS IN THIS STATE CAN
REOPEN BUT THEY DO NEED TO HAVE SAFETY PROTOCOLS IN PLACE LIKE
SAFETY PROTOCOLS IN PLACE LIKE
DISTANCED EQUIPMENT OR IF YOU’RE
USING EQUIPMENT, IT HAS TO BE 6
FEET APART.
AND YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK FOR
THE ENTIRE WORKOUT.
IN THE STATE OF OHIO, YOU HAVE
TO WEAR A MASK IF YOU’RE WALKING
FROM THE ELLIPTICAL TO THE
TREADMILL BUT NOT WHILE YOU’RE
ACTUALLY ON THE MACHINE.
HERE, YOU HAVE TO WEAR IT THE
ENTIRE TIME.
AS FAR AS MICHIGAN HIGH SCHOOL
ATHLETICS, SPECIFICALLY FOOTBALL.
HERE’S THE VERBIAGE: IT IS
RECOMMENDING AGAINST, WHICH
MEANS INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS AND
INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS WILL BE ABLE
TO MAKE THEIR OPEN DETERMINATION
ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE FALL
SPORTS.
IT’S NOT JUST HOW THE SPORTS ARE PLAYED, IT’S GOING TO BE HOW THE
PLAYED, IT’S GOING TO BE HOW THE
CROWDS ARE ALLOWED TO COME AS
WELL.

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH
THE OWNER OF MULTIPLE PLANET
FITNESS LOCATIONS HERE IN MICHIGAN.
HE IS ALSO ONE OF THE DRIVING
FORCES IN THE MICHIGAN FITNESS
ASSOCIATION AND SAID THE
DECISION TODAY IS A SIGH FOR GYM
OWNERS.
>> I THINK THERE WAS A LOT OF
WORK ON BOTH SIDES.
IT WASN’T NECESSARILY A FUNCTION
OF US CONVINCING THE GOVERNOR
AND HER TEAM THAT WE HAD TO BE
OPEN.
I THINK THAT PLAYED A ROLE IN
IT.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT THEY WERE ALSO
LOOKING CLOSELY AT THE NUMBER OF
CASES AND THAT CERTAINLY PLAYED
A ROLE IN TERMS OF TRYING TO
NAVIGATE WHEN THE RIGHT TIME WAS
TO REOPEN GYMS.
>> Mara: BACK HERE LIVE.

GYMS IN OUR AREA?
SEPTEMBER 9th.
I’LL BE BACK HERE AT 5:00.

ATTACKED BY AN INMATE.
HE BLOCKED HIS CELL DOOR FROM

>> HE HAS A 21-YEAR-OLD
COLLEGE-AGE DAUGHTER, TURNED 21
LAST WEEK, GOTTA BE DEVASTATING
TO THE FAMILY BUT EVERYBODY BEHIND ME APPRECIATES THE WORK
BEHIND ME APPRECIATES THE WORK
THAT HE DID AND UNDERSTANDS THE
SACRIFICE THAT HE MADE.

UNDER WAY, BOTH INTERNALLY BY
THE WAYNE COUNTY SHERIFF’S
OFFICE AND ALSO BY THE DETROIT
POLICE DEPARTMENT’S HOMICIDE
UNIT.
>>> MORE THAN 40 COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATIONS ARE JOINING
TOGETHER TO CALL FOR THE
RESIGNATION OF DETROIT POLICE
CHIEF JAMES CRAIG.
THEY SAY HE HAS FAILED TO
PROVIDE ANSWERS FOR WHAT THEY
BELIEVE IS HARSH TREATMENT OF PROTESTERS.

OCCASION, FAILED, ABSOLUTELY
FAILED, TO REIN IN HIS POLICE
OFFICERS AND PROVIDE
ACCOUNTABILITY, AND FAILED TO
ACKNOWLEDGE PEOPLE LIKE ME, WHO
ARE CITIZENS.

LET’S BRING IN BEN.
>> Ben: TECHNICALLY, THAT’S
CORRECT.
THIS STUFF IS PRETTY LIFE.
YOU CAN SEE IT RUNNING ACROSS
THE NORTH ZONE.
I DON’T THINK A LOT OF US WILL
SEE THIS STUFF AS IT MAKES ITS
WAY FURTHER OFF TO THE SOUTH.
A LIGHT SHOWER, AT BEST, AS IT
WORKS THROUGH TONIGHT AND
ANYTHING WE SEE SHOULD BE GONE
BY THE TIME WE HEAD INTO DAYBREAK TOMORROW.
DAYBREAK TOMORROW.
THERE’S A LAKESHORE FLOOD

FEW MINUTES, KAREN.
>> Karen: LET’S TALK POLITICS.
JOE BIDEN IS IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN, RIGHT NOW, MEETING
WISCONSIN, RIGHT NOW, MEETING
WITH THE FAMILY OF JACOB BLAKE
AND COMMUNITY LEADERS.
HE HAD A PRIVATE MEETING AT THE
AIRPORT WITH HIS MOTHER, FATHER,
BROTHER, AND TWO SISTERS.
HE WAS SHOT IN THE BACK 7 TIMES,
PARALYZING HIM AND SPARKING
PROTEST.
HE STOPPED AT A KENOSHA CHURCH
TO MEET WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
AND URGED THEM TO STAY CALM.
PRESIDENT TRUMP VISITED ON
TUESDAY.
HE TOURED PARTS OF THE CITY
DAMAGED BY DEMONSTRATORS.
>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL TONIGHT WITH A
STOP IN PENNSYLVANIA WHERE HE
PLANS TO CONTINUE HIS LAW & ORDER MESSAGE.
ORDER MESSAGE.
>>> AS A TEACHER, TRY TO IMAGINE
GOING FROM A CLASSROOM LIKE THIS
THAT IS JUST FILLED WITH STUDENTS RAISING THEIR HANDS
STUDENTS RAISING THEIR HANDS
READY TO INTERACT TO A CLASSROOM
LIKE THIS.
EMPTY!
NOT SURPRISINGLY LOCAL TEACHERS
ARE HAVING TO RELEARN HOW TO
TEACH THROUGH A COMPUTER SCREEN.
PAULA TUTMAN FOCUSES ON ONE
TEACHER TO SEE WHAT CHALLENGES
THEY’RE FACING AND THE LESSONS
THEY’RE LEARNING.
>> OKAY, GOOD MORNING!
>> Paula: THE TEACHERS ARE THE
HEART OF THE CLASSROOM.
>> WELCOME TO ENGLISH 11.
>> Paula: IT IS THE STUDENT WHO IS THE SOUL.
IS THE SOUL.
>> THE SECOND THING I NEED YOU
TO DO IS TURN IN YOUR READING
ASSIGNMENTS.
>> Paula: BUT WHAT ABOUT IF
YOU’RE MISSING THE LIVING,
BREATHING ORGANISM.
>> WE LEARN SO MUCH ABOUT THEM
IN THE CLASSROOM, WHO THEY TALK
TO, THEIR BODY POSTURE.
>> Paula: FOR NATALIE FORD IN
THE BERKLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT, FOR
THE PAST WEEK, SHE’S BEEN A
PERFORMER IN A VACUUM, HIGH
ENERGY, PERSONABLE, CARING, AND
A SHARP EYE FOR HER STUDENTS AND
SHE MUST MANUFACTURE THAT AND MORE TO REACH AND TEACH HER
MORE TO REACH AND TEACH HER
STUDENTS IN ABOUT A 1-BY-2
SQUARE BOX IN A COMPUTER SCREEN.
>> FOR TEACHERS LIKE ME, WE WORK
HERE BECAUSE WE LIKE THE CLASSES
AND THE HALLWAYS AND THE
CRAZINESS AND PEOPLE GETTING
READY FOR FOOTBALL GAMES.
WE LOVE ALL THAT!
AND WITHOUT THAT IN OUR
LANDSCAPE, IT HAS BEEN REALLY
HARD.
>> Paula: SHE MISSES THE NOISE,
THE FACES, AND THE WARMTH OF
HUMAN STUDENTS, A MILLION MILES
AWAY ON HER COMPUTER SCREEN BUT
A FEW CLICKS AWAY.
>> IT’S HARD HAVING A WHOLE
CLASS DISCUSSION, WHOLE CLASS
ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL
THE TINY FACES ON THE ZOOM AND
ONLY ONE PERSON CAN TALK AT A
TIME.
>> Paula: SHE KNOWS YOU CAN
TEACH REMOTELY BUT NOT
RELATIONSHIPS.
>> THE BEAUTY OF AN ENGLISH
CLASS IS WE GET TO DISCUSS SHORT
STORIES AND REAL LIFE.
AND THE BEAUTY OF IT, THEY SIT
IN GROUPS AND YOU SEE THEM FORM
RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE THAT
ARE NOT IN THEIR FRIEND GROUP
AND THAT MAYBE THEY WOULDN’T
TALK TO UNLESS THEY HAD A CLASS
WITH THEM.
AND THAT IS SO HUGE FOR ME TO
SEE THEM FORM FRIENDSHIPS AT
THEIR TABLES.
>> Paula: TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
ARE BEING EDUCATED IN REMOTE
LEARNING TOGETHER.
AND, ULTIMATELY, HER GOAL IS TO
TEACH AND FOR STUDENTS TO TRULY
LEARN. >> WE HAVE TO RETHINK THE THINGS
>> WE HAVE TO RETHINK THE THINGS
THAT CAME SO NATURALLY BEFORE.
>> Paula: IT TAKES HER BACK TO
HER FIRST YEAR OF TEACHING BUT
SHE IS UP FOR THE ADVENTURE AND
SUSTAINING THE LEARNING.
>> Karen: THANK YOU FOR THAT
STORY AND THE PERSPECTIVE WITH
THE CAMERA IN THE CLASSROOM JUST
EMPTY SHOWS THE CHALLENGES,
UNBELIEVABLE!
YOU FEEL FOR THE TEACHERS AND
THANK THEM FOR SHOWING UP EVERY
DAY.
THANK YOU, PAULA.
