[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and a parent.

I'm not scared to return to work in a school setting, but I don't see how we can teach a full group of students and I don't see how hybrid would really work.   I could see returning to in school for a smaller group of selected students -- K-3rd grade.   I always thought 4th-12th should distance learn and K-3 should be spread out among all the older kids schools.

That seems to make the most sense to me.

Of course, when I say return to schools, I mean when we are in a safe time to do so, with community spread of COVID down to 1 or 2 new cases, per 100,000 people, per day; and when we have enough tests and PPE to be reasonable secure.

We have NONE of the above in the DC area right now.

I do not want my own personal children going back to school until the above measures have been reached, either.   [/quote]

So just a question- why is 1 or 2 cases per 100k acceptable to you?  Not arguing with your post really, and I guess that number is not all that different than what Gayles came up with, but he pointed to cdc guidance that does not really exist.  Other states like NY have set different metrics.  It frustrates me that there’s isn’t a credible, national effort.  [/quote]
