[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we are shrugging our shoulders at the increasing cases all around the country (except for the coasts, which took significant mitigation measures and are reopening cautiously), we're going to have a massive problem by the fall. I think schools will wind up doing the hybrid model but the virus will causes closures. Half the people here are in denial about that and some are the other end of the spectrum and are convinced it's all shut down until the mythical vaccine. Neither is probably what happens.

But it's not going to be a normal year by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm a teacher and there's no way I can teach in a mask all day. And there's no way kids keep them on (and I teach HIGH SCHOOL). Forget about it at the ES level. [/quote]

Teacher, I think you underestimate people.  Kids can be taught to keep the masks on.  Sure, it will take reminders in the beginning and you will have the unruly kids who take them off to break the rules.  But, for the most part, you will see compliance.  [/quote]

I think it is extremely challenging to keep a mask on as an adult. This is not realistic. Kids can't do this. [/quote]

From what I've read, the plans in other countries for re-opened schools include kids wearing masks. So either kids [i]can[/i] do this, or the countries where schools have re-opened are making unrealistic plans.[/quote]

Different society and culture. We are reopening because we refuse to provide a real safety net and the billionaires want economy open. You think that’s changing by the fall? Also, I can’t talk all day with a mask on. Teachers and kids will be passing out left and right. [/quote]
