[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is so impossible to re-open schools safely, how come the plurality of schools in the US are open for full-time in person instruction? It's almost a majority for K-5.

UNICEF mapped out back in fall where things were open:

There are districts here in the Commonwealth of Virginia that are fully in-person for 4 days:

I've said it before and I'll say it again -[b] given the number of families choosing to remain fully remote, it should be possible to get all kids in school who want to be in-person at a 3' spacing [/b](the spacing recommended by the WHO and used in Europe). You don't have to jettison distancing entirely.

VDOE has a layout on it's site for a 3' spacing for classrooms:

My building has over 70% returning. My class and grade level is close to 80%. I wouldn't be able to fit them in my classroom at 3' distance.[/quote]

Honest question: what if the put you in the gym and gave you a microphone on a stick to hold for kids when they talk? Is there another creative way to do it?

Our school is a 50-50 split.[/quote]

I'm trying to picture what you mean here. Are you saying take a class of third graders and spread them out across the entire gym? I'm not sure about the microphone on the stick or how that works with the other students who are still online. (Our gym is being used for lunch periods.)

Our grade level has 109 students returning, which is 78% of the students.[/quote]
