Reality is that 6 is not practical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s a contagious kid in class, even with mask use at an average level, most likely the majority of people in that classroom will be sick within two weeks.

Fairfax delayed the start by two weeks for students. Officially this is to give time to train staff on new procedures. I think it's probably to give more time to see how things go, more than anything. I think there's a pretty good chance we don't physically open at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If schools don’t open then so be it. I’m glad, that in Fairfax County, they are taking these things into consideration and adjusting as needed.

youngestson Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 DeVOS: There are really good examples that have been utilized in the private sector. No there are not. The successful models come from other countries which were successful in containing COVID-19. Not the private sector. Step one is contain the disease, not send kids back to school.

You’ll get mixed results but it’s possible. The adults at this point are beyond any working with. Schools and the people in them don't exist in a vacuum separated from society. I've worked with kids for over 20 years. Mostly in middle school, and they very certainly have political/social baggage in middle school. And that's in addition to a natural tendency to at least test boundaries and rules. Whatever restrictions or protocols may be implemented there will absolutely positively be push-back from both students and parents. Students will quite likely be sent home for refusing to wear a mask, or wash their hands, or maintain a distance. I can only imagine the social media outrage which will follow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) LAUSD just announced all-online classes. Think the family and I may pack up and live in the mountains for a bit or something. Feel very fortunate that we can work and my kids are young enough where they don't seem to be going too crazy. Know for others it is so much more difficult and a lot of older kids are missing out on what could be the best time of their lives -- high school sports, romances, bullying nerds you will later work for, etc... Seriously, everyone. Wear a damn mask. Edited July 13, 2020 by Hooper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 We live in the country. I may do something like opt for online. We have some reliable friends who I trust to isolate like champs. That should take care of the socialization component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
