[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one or two days per week scenario should’ve been shot down in the initial meetings. What a god awful idea. All the exposure with none of the learning. I would rather take over myself at home then send my kid in to school to get sick at regular intervals. Especially if I know my kid will be attending on the same days as kids of medical workers. If we’re not ready, we’re not ready. One week on two weeks off makes more sense because then if a kid gets it their week “on” they might show symptoms during down period and not go back to school. These poor teachers though, they’ll all get infected and spread it to all their kids. Why TF aren’t they spending this energy making complicated and idiotic schedules into actually fighting this virus? This is a pointless dog and pony show with the “extra cleaning” and “social distancing”.[/quote]

I agree with the week-on, week-off system, given the incubation period.  I wish they could do one week on, one week off, with teachers also rotating, so the same teacher would be doing in-person and then distance learning (and would only be exposed to the one group of students).  It might work for elementary schools, if they could hire additional teachers (not sure if that would be feasible).  [/quote]

The incubation period can be up to 10 days, and some kids will be entirely asymptomatic. It would be smarter to do 3 weeks on, 3 weeks DL with the A/B groups. Then, the kids can run through the entire cycle of the virus while at home.[/quote]
