[quote=Anonymous]Here are my worries

1. If there is a rotational schedule, what happens when kids show up on the wrong day (accident or on purpose). We can’t even get parents to pick up very sick kids. They are not coming back to get kids on the “wrong” day. How many kids can we accept on the wrong day until we are over capacity?

2. Currently DC has very strict rules about suspension and isolation. What happens when a kid won’t stay seated, touches other people’s items, coughs loudly in class freaking other kids out, will there be consequences? Kid having a melt down and ripping things off the walls so I need to move my class to another space - where is that space now? The stakes are much higher now for kids listening to adults about safety, and many of us have experienced kids who won’t or don’t or can’t. What happens then?

3. Many schools don’t have windows that open. So there is no additional ventilation. Most things seem to indicate that confined spaces with poor ventilation is the prime condition for spreading. How do we combat that?

4. Frequent and quality hand washing needs to occur. Almost no classrooms have sinks. . How many kids can leave the room at a time to wash? Who is cleaning the bathroom after each kid? What happens if a kid is supposed to wipe things down and does not - kids can’t even bring their jacket home from school every day. We are going to make them in charge of cleaning????

5. The opening in other places will give us data but right now all the information about kids as vectors and how much they transmit is based on places closing school for many months. It will be hard to extrapolate the impact on kids once they are all together.[/quote]
