[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send half the kids in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. All wear masks, wash hands often and sit far apart.
Everybody eats lunch at home. I'd rather DC go to school 3-3.5 hours than try to learn online in elementary school.[/quote]

You must have never worked in a school. Let me start
1. Kids will not get picked up after a half a day, parents will leave them there because they will be at work or hanging out at home. 
2. Kids are entitled to free and reduced lunches and at some schools breakfasts too that by law must be eaten on the premise (schools got a waiver for food to be taken off campus). 
3. Not all kids are going to be willing to wear masks and there is nothing a school can do to force a child to wear a mask.

Also, when are you going to clean???  This virus is living on surfaces...

Will they make sure Public Transportation is running more often so kids can get to and from school mid day??

What if any enforcement will happen for kids that are not picked up?

Alternating days might work.  But, again how do you enforce rules if parents drop and run on a day the kid is not supposed to be there?

Not only the parents who drop and run, but those who cannot remember what day their kid is supposed to be there.  Or the ones who drop sick kids off.  I volunteered in my kid's classroom this year in the afternoons and it was shocking how many kids had to go home after lunch and would say things like, "oh yeah, I vomited at breakfast, but mommy said I was fine" or kids who would tell that their mom gave them tylenol that morning, but by 1p.m. they have a 102 fever again.
