[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not trying to get into the open school debate, but am more genuinely curious why schools in say suburban Chicago or suburban NYC/CT are open. These are also heavily democratic areas. I at first thought it was a red state/blue state thing. Just trying to understand what’s so different about our schools. [/quote]

I am from NY. The districts are small. So less kids to deal with. Secondly, all of K-12 is not back fully. My home district they prioritized K-5. They saw only way they could make this happen was if enough people drove kids to school. Parents agreed. Middle and High School have been hybrid and DL. Very few middle and high school are back full time in those states. My cousins kids are middle and ES in upstate NY and both are in person 2 days a week.

When you have a smaller population, it is easier to problem solve. [/quote]

That's doesn't explain why large urban districts like St. Louis, Dallas and Houston have all been operating in person for nearly 4 months. They take the kids' temperature, have them wear masks, the desks are separated by plexiglass, etc etc. All the normal precautions. Hence, no widespread illness and deaths. The same thing could be happening in DC, MD and VA if administrators weren't being held hostage to teachers unions' crazy demands. [/quote]

Per capita or total deaths?[/quote]
