[quote=Anonymous]For the majority of kids, I think they will be ok if schools follow the protocols.  However, people thinking opening schools is only about kids supposedly being resistant to the virus are dense.

As I mentioned before, schools have to figure out health protocols while

- running safety drills (Fire, tornado, lockdown)
- evacuating classrooms when a kid becomes violently disruptive (has a student like that in DS’s class)— where do you take kids?
- evacuating busses
- etc

Not to mention the COST to sanitize and shut down schools if a student or someone in their household becomes infected with COVID.  Because it is a public building, having someone just come in with chlorox wipes in the student’s classroom isnt going to cut it.

That are some of the real logistics.  It’s not doom and gloom as people are saying on DCUM.  That’s the realities we are facing in schools, running summer camps.  I am willing to send my kids to outdoor camps because i believe the chances for infection outside is very low. However, if I were in charge of running the camp, the risks wouldn’t be worth it unless I charged parents BIG money and even then I might not.[/quote]
