[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one group M-T, W clean, Th F next group makes most sense. People can develop small childcare coops or other providers will fill the need.

Would give some regularity and allow for better SD.[/quote]

This is kind of the problem though...if you have a class of 24 kids, yes it sounds nice that 12 go M-T and 12 T-F. But of those 12, they are going to be going to so many different caretakers, relatives, etc. that honestly they might be in contact with more people than if they were just in a 24-kid class M-F. So by splitting the class you may slightly reduce the likelihood that kids breathe in each others' germs but majorly increase the likelihood that a kid will be infected. There may be no public health benefit from splitting the class up, and major negative economic/educational consequences. It would be different if we could guarantee that kids would stay home with only their parents on non-school days but that's not going to happen for most kids.[/quote]
