[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids preschool is telling me very little and just says school will go as planned with no changes. The class should have 15 kids with no mixing of all the kids show up. The “pod” would be at a friends house. You all bring up great points about liability though. -OP[/quote]

Is your friend going to:

keep the kids social distanced
sanitize surfaces everyday/after a child has used a material, using state, health department and CDC guidelines on sanitation
have health screenings at drop off each morning and exclude for any and all symptoms and temperatures over 100

I say this kindly, but if she is not doing these things then you will be diluting yourself into thinking it is safer to be in this "pod" than daycare.  Mostly, the social pressure this pod will face to not exclude any kid if they are sick, will be great.  And lastly, depending on which state you live in, it may be illegal and if reported (and people do report all the time!) you will be shut down and then not have any care at all.    [/quote]

NP here.  First of all, you meant "deluding," not "diluting."  Second, if you are one of the people that "reports all the time," I suggest getting a hobby.  We're clearly going through something totally insane and unprecedented and folks are doing their best to find solutions that work for their families.  You're right that it'd be really important for the families to have an agreement about sending sick kids.  But even more importantly, if you did this with another family and had an agreement about limiting other contacts, you could worry less about disinfecting, distancing, etc. than a school would have to.  I think that's the whole point.  But mostly, everyone is trying hard.  You should also try to be less of a crazy jerk.[/quote]
