[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, schools will be open. I would put money on 5 days a week with aftercare, but at a minimum hybrid.

Virtually all stakeholders are motivated to get kids back in school. Parents need it, employers need it, teachers prefer teaching in-person, many public services rely on in-person school to reach at-risk kids, politicians want to be able to say they've done it, etc. If schools aren't open by next fall, I think we're looking at an actual breakdown of society, both social and economic.

People saying "oh this is the death knell of the public school system" are either religious/private/charter school nuts trying sway public opinion, or belong in a very tiny sliver of the general population for whom longterm homeschooling or switching to private is a genuine option. The vast majority of parents don't have a good alternative to traditional public schools.

Also, [b]and not that anyone asked them, but kids desperately want/need to be back in the classroom[/b]. There may be exceptions, but every kid I know would celebrate getting to go back to school at this point.[/quote]
