NP. I think distance learning is preferable to having a lot of teachers and students get sick. Some teachers and staff definitely are in higher risk categories and could end up hospitalized or dead. Even some children are  becoming very sick with this virus. At a minimum they will bring it home to the adults in their household. If schools do reopen in the fall, it's very unlikely that they will be fully back to normal. Distance learning will still be a big part of what they do.[/quote]

First we closed schools to "flatten the curve" to avoid overwhelming the hospitals. Now we're going to keep schools closed, indefinitely, to avoid people getting sick? [b]Teachers and staff in higher risk categories should have the option of staying home. Students in higher risk categories too[/b].

As a teacher who is immunocompromised, I’d be ok with this. My kids go to before/aftercare in typical times because the school day doesn’t last as long as my work day so I think we’d be ok with being able to send them there. Do other teachers not have to send their kids to before and aftercare? The only ones I know who don’t do that are the ones whose own kids attend the school where they work.

But since I’m immunocompromised, I probably would have to keep them home as long as it’s still unsafe for me to be in a school building. There’s no point in me staying home if I’m sending them to school plus another facility for care on the days when it’s not their turn to go to school. As long as there are options, I can figure it out. If there are no options it will become a lot more complicated. [/quote]
