[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh look, a study that shows the hybrid model helps at slowing the spread of COVID... sorry it doesn't agree with you, OP. 
https://herald-review.com/news/state-and-regional/study-shows-hybrid-learning-is-effective-at-slowing-covid-spread-in-illinois-schools/article_88a21035-f93e-52dd-a682-85c57f941986.html [/quote]

Ok well that article actually supports reopening schools?  "In-person learning looks like it has had some negative effect in Illinois, but hybrid learning and completely remote learning were statistically very similar, suggesting that a mix of digital lessons with some in-person school attendance might be as safe as keeping students at home on their computers."

It says that hybrid learning is ok.

Also, I wonder if it breaks down in-person by age groups, and how big the risk actually is.  It would be reasonable to accept some small additional risk for in-person for the kids who need it most (SN and K-2 in my opinion).

Finally, remember that CHOP pointed out that in-school spread is driven BY STAFF not wearing masks and not social distancing.  So the teacher's unions need to internalize that tidbit.
