[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no good science on safety for middle and high school. None. When people say it’s safe there, they are talking with no evidence. [/quote]

There is plenty of evidence that in kids and young adults, this thing just isn’t a big deal. There is also plenty of evidence that masks and social distancing work and keep the virus from spreading. Of course that is good science for opening schools. The benefits far outweigh the risks. And it’s shocking to me that you are even arguing against it. [/quote]

[b]High school, where kids switch classes and don't stick with a single cohort, is entirely unlike an elementary school.  It's so much harder (impossible?) to come up with a plan that distances teens and keeps them in a cohort while still allowing them t[/b]o get their APs and electives.  Many studies have also shown that elementary students are also better at following instructions and remaining socially distanced than teens.

Let's get elementary students back and see where we are.  It's crazy that APS seems to think it needs a plan for K-12 before it brings back K-Creating a safety track record will go a long way with both teachers and parents.[/quote]

You don't know this and are just making it up.  There are plenty of high schools that went back, had students switch classes, and had no significant issues.  
Are you a member of the school board by chance? Because you seem to use the same kind of "facts" and "metrics" they use. [/quote]

DP, but do you really think it's just as easy to cohort high schoolers as elementary schoolers? Or are you saying cohorting doesn't matter?[/quote]
