[quote=Anonymous][quote]At Corinth High School in northern Mississippi, students are filing into classrooms according to seating charts to limit their contacts with others. They eat breakfast and lunch at their desks. English and math classes are taught in big open spaces, like the cafeteria.

Still, at least three students have tested positive for the virus since school started last week, and about 40 are in quarantine.

And the update from Corinth is that 6 students and 1 staff member were tested positive.  116 students are now at home in 14 day quarantine.  Due to how the school year was structured, those 116 students will have no schooling for those 14 days.  The school system allowed families to choose in-person, or distance learning, but they can only change from one to the other before the start of any 9 week quarter.  So kids that were full in-person cannot switch to distance learning mid-quarter.  So, they are essentially out of school for 2 of the 9 weeks.

With 116 out of 2700 students (4%) after the first week of school, the question is how long and how many students will be affected before they realize just how bad this idea really was?[/quote]
