[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the context of other reopening activities, not well (C-). If schools can't open, the administration needs to demonstrate they are serious about getting us to the point where schools can open (e.g., stop all indoor dining).

Outdoor pools are closed but you can go to church with 70 friends and grab a bite to eat being served by a waiter that's been in close contact with fellow waitstaff all day.

Things need to make more sense and priorities need to be clearer.[/quote]

the hybrid plan is an absolute mess.  yeah, it  follows some of the health guidance, but realistically, how does keeping kids in school 2 days/week then with a different group of children 3 days/week reduce spread?  and how about keeping kindergartners at their desks _all day_ without being within 6 feet of each other or their teacher?

virtual learning at least has the advantage of reducing covid spread.  but the sample virtual learning schedule where a 3rd grader is going to be at the computer from 9am - 3pm?  How is anyone -- working from home, working outside the home, full time parent -- supposed to make that work without hiring full time help?

meanwhile our community spread is on the rise and they're "watching numbers closely" but haven't changed much other than the mask mandate (for which i am grateful).  she's done nothing to help families who don't have a means to earn money other than leaving their homes for work, so we're not going to see community spread going down anytime soon.  she's done nothing to help struggling childcare providers who are almost certainly going to shut down because who can survive on 0-50% of pay for months on end?  which is going to screw us all in the long run, of course.[/quote]
