[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher in a European country that recently reopened some schools.

The extreme social distancing/safety procedures in place mean we aren't really able to teach much.  I accomplished more teaching my classes via Google Meet each day.  Now, some students are still at home by choice and I just don't have time to work with them.  In my classroom (such as it is), huge chunks of the day are eaten up by new procedures.

I'm OK with this.  It is just good to be back.  But parents should know that simply reopening schools isn't going to make things better again.  [/quote]

And the point most everybody is making are those "new procedures" are actually largely
Unnecessary. Hopefully all the school systems figure that out soon.[/quote]

+1. Hopefully they will. I recently read an article about an infectious disease specialist in Germany who said it would be reasonable to drop the distance requirements in schools NOW, and that they should do so to see how it works out before summer break (which doesn't start until mid-/late July). Clearly the US is behind on the curve, and given the trends here as well as the mounting evidence that children are not significant spreaders, we should be able to consider it for the fall.[/quote]
