[quote=Anonymous]This thread is predictably a mess with people having the same arguments they have in every other COVID thread.

But for those that want to discuss practical logistical possibilities, here's my question:

-- How can a model with increased social distancing work, unless they substantially increase the number of teachers?  So, for instance, I've heard people propose having HS be distance learning, and then using the empty HS buildings to enable to ES kids to spread out more with fewer in each classroom.  But then don't you need to double the number of ES teachers (assuming the HS teachers will be busy teaching online)?

FWIW, I'm a HS parent and I think for the most part HS students can do fine with virtual learning, if the curriculum is restructured to rely more on independent learning and less on in-class lectures.   Science labs are the really hard part.   Also, much of the arts instruction (band, theater) is really tough, although not impossible, remotely.   Otherwise, most HS classess, like college classes, can be taught/learned remotely.  I took several HS level classes remotely (independent study by mail) back in the 80's, when there was no internet at all.  [/quote]
