With young kids who can not stay alone, no, but once you have a kid that can stay alone.. you go to work.. they use online schools like K12 etc.. and when you come back from work and do your dinner and all.. check he work, and organize or verify schedule for the next day, check the school work and homework and next day repeat. K12 has online teachers that teach through the day so your kid is taking supervised online classes. I am sure there are tons places that teach online and that scheadule is very organized. |

| Absolutely. I worked on a Covid unit for 6 weeks, so I feel like I have a decent understanding of the disease. The negative impact of DS not going to school outweighs the low risk of serious complications from Covid. |

My huge concern is the air safety. If they will be cleaning schools with bleach and Lysol eavery day and fumigating and all
he air quality will be super bad, add tons of kids to breath this.. this can not be healthy. BEsides if hey won't figure out spacing the kids horizontally and also through the day and week etc.. I am considering all options. I can no envision a full set of kids full day like it was. It just does not work for me anymore. The health and the well being of the children has to take the priority. |

The problem is that there are many different group of parents, depending on he situation of their work, family age, risks, child emotional and educational state.. it is not one size fits all clearly and to make everybody happy will be difficult, it always is. PP, do you consider the risks and complications of teachers, parents and grandparents? |

You will keep your kids home due to bleach? |

| Our backup plan will be online school. We’ll assess closer to the date, but we’re open to making it work. |

She was responding to a question about her individual situation. You do you. Even if schools open there is zero chance that attendance will be mandatory at least not right away. |

| Yes, I trust them to make safe decisions. |

| I'm a teacher, so we'd be going back together. |

I will. We’re a low-risk family. If we had a grandparent living with us, or dh and I were high-risk, I’d reconsider, but for us, I’m okay with them going.
I will probably enforce handwashing and changing clothes right when they get in the door, which isn’t something we’ve done before. |
