[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of first ad third graders here. I'm also an essential worker who can WFH during the pandemic. I DH is a public school teacher who usually has a total of 350 students a week. We are in NYC.

Distance learning is working for our kids academically but not socially. Also, I'm not sure how well it would work next year when lots of new information is introduced. We supplement with lots of extras at home, some online. Next year, budgetwise, the public schools will likely have to cut enrichment due to budget cuts, so we will be supplementing that on the weekends.

I can see a lot of families moving or.homeschooling if they are forced to send their kids back to the school buildings. What might keep them for editing the system and the city is the continuing of distance learning as an option. That would naturally reduce the number of kids in the classroom. Teachers would somehow need to find a way to reach online as they have and in person.

Also, I am hoping that soon we can prove that antibodies provide some level of immunity, and that the serology tests improve enough to be useful. That way teachers and school staff could be tested and those with antibodies could work in the schools with less fear.  By the fall the city should be at 50% with exposure, either recovered from their illness or having been asymptomatic while infected (current estimates for NYC are 21%. That would get us almost to herd immunity.[/quote]
We have no evidence that there is immunity after infection.  Until we know that you can’t recover and get infected again, this theory doesn’t work. [/quote]
