[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll leave all of you geniuses to haggle over the science and safety issues. But most people I know who are sending their kids to school are doing so for "socialization" reasons.  And his point about socialization is spot on.

If you or your kids think they are going to receive anything close to a normal school day with peer interaction, it is not happening. [/quote]

I am sending my kids to school for socialization reasons. It won't be like previous school years but it will be better than DL.

Some kids may have handled the isolation just fine. Mine have not. There's no real question. If the schools are open, for 2 days or 1 day or a half day, my kids will be there.[/quote]

That's fine. You don't need to justify yourself to me. But the "will be better than DL" is questionable. That is according to FCPS teachers and administrators I have talked to in person. They say it won't resemble anything like a regular school experience. No collaboration. Limited class interaction. Masks. No lockers. No sitting with whoever at lunch. You'll be with the same 10-15 kids for core classes and lunch. And there will be tons of policing of social distancing rules.

I get that it may be something, but better than DL is subjective. And I would argue, wrong.[/quote]
