An orthopedic doctor does not deal with sick people.... just saying. I think you are missing my point. My daughter can't even go to her private riding lesson without a mask and a ton of rules and that is outdoors. What I'm saying is for better or worse, with the amount of rules and regulations out there right now, I can't see how school can open. Perhaps the rules and regulations are over the top (they seem that way to me a bit), but I don't see how they are going to suddenly do a 180 and allow everyone in somewhere.

OK, but people have been going into stores ALL ALONG with nothing but a mask.

Home Depot is an essential service. So are schools.

Okay but there aren't 1000 people in Home Depot.

Because there is not sustained exposure at HD. You go in and get out.

So what? Really, so what? Either you prioritize kids going to school, and you figure out how to make that happen, or you don't. Evidently you don't.

Unless you happen to work there, of course.

I just see the writing on the wall -- it has nothing to do with what I personally prioritize. I have no idea what they will ultimately do.

None of us are the decision makers here. No matter what any of us say - the schools will do what they do.

School is 6-7 hours daily. I doubt anyone is going to Home Depot that often, that long.

I distinctly remember voting for state and local elected representatives in 2018, as well as members of the board of education in 2018 as well as 2020. Don't you?

Maybe sit and think about who might be at Home Depot that often, for longer.

Not exactly the same. Your risk depends on distance and duration of exposure. Being close is less of a risk when there is a shorter interaction; longer interactions call for greater distancing. Ideally, we want to minimize the amount of time that people are in close quarters, especially indoors. When they are indoors, we want them to be a distanced as possible. People don't spend an hour interacting with HD staff at close quarters.

This same argumentative poster will never accept distance learning as "school" so there is no way to reason with her. School is an essential service. It has been provided through distance learning. If you think what was provided sucks, that's fine. But it is still school.

not to mention that arguing here gets us no where really. they are going to decide what they decide. i feel strongly that there will be at least a component of DL - whether we like it or not.
