[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are at a charter.  Parents and administration has wanted to bring kids back for months.  But, with mandatory 6-ft distancing, it was simply not possible in their current space.  The mayor's guidance last week was a game changer, in making the social distancing optional.  They are bringing all the kids back in the building for June.

I am not happy that they have been remote for so long, but it's hard for me to blame the school.  Until last week, the mayor was mandating conditions (based on CDC recommendations) that were impossible to satisfy, given the school's facilities.

Other schools may have other issues, but at least at my charter they would have had kids back 6 months ago, but for the official guidance from higher ups.[/quote]

That's nice that you bought their story hook line and sinker. Every other school that wanted to brought back some portion of the kids, or did hybrid schooling in order to accommodate 6 feet. [/quote]

I guess it's possible they have just been shining us on.  But, they have been very forthcoming with details about the specific space/staffing challenges and the strategies they have been trying to surmount them.  And, the speed with which they turned on a dime to bring everyone back once the social-distancing was relaxed was impressive.  And, yeah, I do believe my school's administration has the best interests of the kids and families at heart, and, let me tell you, it is a wonderful feeling.  After two prior schools where I had serious doubts that the administration cared a bit, I am delighted to be somewhere that I actually trust the people in charge of my kids' education.  [/quote]
