[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids can’t be in a school building without adequate heat and staff can not work in those conditions. My own employer (non-profit) has sent us home periodically because of heat problems in the building. Shit happens.[/quote]

I completely agree with this and that those schools that were closed last week for testing, retrospectively (given snow etc. etc.) didn't make a bad choice.

What worries me is that now, and relatively newly, schools can just close and instead of being required to make up the lost instructional days, then instead say they will be virtual and those days are counted just like an in person school day. There is now PLENTY of evidence that asking kids to look at some materials at home and dialing in with their teachers over zoom for a small portion of the day is not really educating them.

What I'd like to see is closures like this treated as they were in the past ... as lost school days that need to be made up. [/quote]

+100. Virtual is not 1:1 in person. [/quote]
