Barring an unexpectedly fast scientific breakthrough (which could happen, but is not the most likely outcome), years of DL is realistic. Those who think otherwise are delusional. There may be a few half-hearted attempts to go back next fall, but they won't stick. [/quote]

NP.  Unfortunately, I agree with this.  I'd estimate that DL will be in place for about three years.  Pretty much any credible medical expert does not think this will blow over in a year.  We very well might have a vaccine in a few months, but by the time it is distributed, I think initial outbreak of the pandemic will likely be over.  https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/07/covid-19-vaccine-reality-check/614566/

I was laughed at in March when I said that there wouldn't be school next year, and here we are.

Yes, I do believe that teacher unions and school districts will be broken up across the country, but that isn't going to happen in a year.  It is going to take some time, and local school board elections will need to cycle through.[/quote]

Years of distance learning yet I can go to a mall? My teenage neighbor can work at Target right now? 
Why the hell can't teachers just do their jobs like the rest of us are. In masks if needed. This is getting crazy. [/quote]

Classroom 20 hrs/week with 15 people versus strolling through an abandoned mall are very different things. [/quote]
