[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]But 5 days should not take a lot of work[/b]. It is a lot of work to develop a system that has never been done. We know how to do 5 days. Just add masks. Bam. Done. They don’t need 9 months to prepare for that. [/quote]

It doesn't take any extra work at all.  [/quote]

Not true. There will still need to be considerations of the number of bodies that can be in a space at any given time.

I’m not a middle school PE teacher so please don’t bother telling me I’m lazy or want to stay in pjs. I’m just using MS PE as an example because of my pen kids’ experiences.

PE teachers don’t have classrooms. 3 or more classes assemble in the gym and fill the bleachers. Attendance is taken with lots of yelling. IF the weather allows and the unit of study is appropriate, class moves outside. If not, the entire pack of kids runs around the gym to do laps and then they start playing basketball or doing whatever sport it is.

This is not safe. A different system has to be developed. But there aren’t any empty classrooms because schools are already overcrowded. Is PE outdoors even when it’s 15 deg and raining?[/quote]

Fine. Cancel PE, subdivide the gym into extra classroom space, find some other job for the PE teachers to do (they didn't do anything this year either and still got paid so whatev).[/quote]
