[quote=Anonymous]Responding to the original poster: I think it would be smart to open schools with larger class sizes, and there does need to be more of a lobby for this point of view. DCPS could make it a priority in it's budget wherever possible to keep class sizes to a minimum (if it aims for 20 students per classroom, kids could still have probably four/five feet between them). In France schools were made a priority. France recently abolished the hybrid model and simply changed the recommendation of six feet of distance between children to three feet of distance - same in Australia, China and other countries. There seems to be a consensus building that opening schools is not a big source of spread for covid. Having n95 masks for the teachers is a good idea. That being said I really do sympathize with teachers, but for some this will at least allow for a full time childcare option. The kids are really losing out with the current scenario, and as people have pointed out there is no guarantee of a vaccine meaning that this situation could be our new reality for the foreseeable future. Also whatever dcps decides will impact private and parochial schools. Many people depend on employment related to schools and on the schools for childcare. [/quote]
