[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the 11 kids per room is not exactly "science" either. If the issue is how many viral particles are in the air, then room size and ventilation type should also be taken into consideration for each classroom, not a district-wide mandate. Also there are studies that suggest that masked students can sit 3 ft apart without direct spread, which changes the calculation quite considerably. And yes we should watch the mutations, but my goodness people cling to the unknown of those mutations as if they WANT them to cause another full shutdown. It could just as easily be that the mutations do not change any of the masking and distancing science we have right now. [/quote]

I'd pull my kid if they tried to reduce the distance to three feet.  Masks are helpful, but indoors you also need distancing and ventilation.  I don't want the new mutations to cause another shutdown, and one way to prevent that is to *control the spread of the virus* using the methods we have: vaccinations, masking, distance, ventilation, etc.  We know there are at least a couple mutations that are more transmissible.

I think the 11-kid max is based on the most kids that could fit in a normal-sized classroom with proper distancing.  [/quote]

Please pull your kid. [/quote]

Why?  Right now they are adhering to the guidelines.  No need to.  [/quote]
