[quote=Anonymous]I would guess the answers will vary a lot by school and age.  Some schools will have virtually empty buildings.

My kids are in Hs and take mostly AP classes so by June there is very little going on, especially because they have a lot of seniors in their classes that will be totally done.  One has a job to work as a summer camp counselor — unless the camp delays opening, he will go to work rather than school because he doesn’t want to lose the whole summer job and there will be very very little benefit to half days on May.

My other kid …, a little unclear.  Probably will not go the whole week.  We might leave for vacation on the Thursday.  I’m not going to force her to go when I’m pretty positive there will be no educational value.  They will sign yearbooks and maybe watch TV, most likely.  I think the best we can hope for is something like a trivia game or language bingo or something that would be of some educational value.

I think it’s going to be a problem because th ES schools in their low income areas will have most students there but a lot of teachers gone.  Meanwhile in th upper income areas they will have very few students.  I think the Hs will have very low attendance regardless of income level.  The teachers aren’t going to want to have major assignments or tests that week and no 16 year old is gojng to get up at 6 am so they can just sit there for 3 hours. [/quote]
