No, but he could bring students back to school, like they're doing all over the country and the world, even in places with higher community spread.

He's not even seriously trying to bring back special needs kids.[/quote]

How do you propose he does that safely?[/quote]

The same way that doctors, nurses, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, ABA providers, etc., are working in-person. They just do it while taking whatever precautions they reasonably can without interfering significantly with their jobs.[/quote]

Not all of them are doing it in person and they see one person at a time vs. 35 students in a classroom with 8 classes.  Doctors offices allow only the patient in if its in person and see much less and screen before coming in.  SLP's, OT and PT's are not all back in person.  Many are still virtual.[/quote]

My spouse sees a lot more than 30 people in the exam over the course of a week. And definitely has closer contact than you would have with your students, unless something is going seriously wrong on your class.

Likewise for daycares, you're looking at slightly smaller cohorts, but much closer contact and much less compliant with rules.

But teachers are special. Or something.[/quote]

Our middle school classes have 35 kids/8 classes.  I'm not a teacher.  Both my doctors are virtual only except in rare cases.  Teachers and doctors have very different jobs.  You just cannot handle your kids while your spouse works.  There is no way to do cohorts at my school.  We only have about 15 kids taking the same math in the grade and none are in any of the same classes.[/quote]

You can do cohorts in elementary school.  But I agree that it may not be possible to open middle and high schools safely.[/quote]
