Due to the corona virus epidemic shouldn’t school for students kindergarten through 12th grade be considered officially ended?

Because the 2019-2020 school term has more or less ended due to the coronavirus, shouldn’t America consider a stimulus package so that graduating seniors will have, no matter in which month it is held, their cap and gown day?

And those high school seniors whose grades up to this point are not high enough to permit them to march, shouldn’t they, along with lower-grade students, be allowed to attend, through the stimulus package, a prepaid summer school program?

And students, kindergarten through 11th grade who were making passing grades before the coronavirus, shouldn’t they automatically, through a stimulus program for American students, be allowed to pass on to their next scheduled grade?

As Alice Cooper sang, “School’s Out for Summer.”
