White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday defended the Biden administration’s definition of reopening schools amid the CCP virus pandemic, following criticism that resuming “some teaching” in person for “at least one day a week” in 50 percent of the nation’s schools is not setting the bar high enough.

Psaki was pressed during her daily press briefing on why the Biden administration hadn’t set a more ambitious goal, after Biden in December vowed to ensure “a majority of our schools” are open within 100 days of his presidency.
