[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fall at the earliest. The 2019/20 school year is done. On top of that, school will look very different when they go back.[/quote] Repeating grades?[/quote] No, we are 3/4 of the way through the year. They will socially promote everyone unless there is a extenuating circumstance. This is happening to the entire world, not just us. Like a said on a thread yesterday, 2020 is going to have a big fat asterisk next to it for every measurement that we use to determine human achievement/success. Things are going to be very different after this, things we looked at as normal will not be the norm anymore. Think if 9/11 happened to the entire planet, not just the US, so many things changed about our society and not just here but all over the world and that was just as a result of something that happened in the US. This is literally happening to everyone. A new normal is being created right now, and for the next few weeks and months it’s going to get even more intense.[/quote] What will be different?[/quote] It’s hard to say exactly, but I suspect that sanitation stations will be added to all public buildings (kind of like defibrillators, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits now), mandatory hand washing will become the norm (at the beginning and end of the day, before and after recess, lunch, snack time, PE), maybe even temperature monitoring as kids enter and exit the school. In addition 1-1 digital devices will be the rule not the exception, teacher planning will include ways to deliver content remotely, School systems may even employee remote learning specialists that provide instruction to small groups of kids that are sick or cannot come to school for some other reason. Smaller class sizes with kids learning social distancing early, staggered school hours to accommodate small class sizing and all the other things. These are things that I can think of off the top of my head without us actually going through this... but expect some things will take quite an adjustment while some will be just small changes. I would suggest that we keep an open mind and understand that there will starts and stops and a bumpy road ahead. The sooner we work towards our new normal and stop fighting for they way things used to be, the better outcome will be for everyone.[/quote]
