[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. How about schools just follow the CDC recommended measures then.  Like cohorting middle and high school students? That’s not asking for zero risk. That’s asking to follow basic safety guidelines![/quote]

Here's confirmation that the Wisconsin schools did cohort HS. However they DID NOT have 6' spacing [i]within[/i] cohorts. The author also says they had indoor lunches.

I'm pretty sure the main benefit of cohorting, especially with younger kids, is that they do not have to maintain distance within the cohort. There is simply no way to cohort MS/HS which is why we are doing masks and distancing. Anyone who is not comfortable is free to choose virtual. [/quote]

There is not no way to do it.  They’re doing it in school systems in the US and privates here in Arlington and in Europe.  Please.  It’s just they’ve decided not to do it.  Notwithstanding CDC recommendations.  That’s why elementary should open but they need a revised plan for middle and high. Everyone was touting the CDC report on Tuesday.  But only part of it.  They ignore the part that says cohorts are recommended.  Right there with masks and distancing. [/quote]
