[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney's email to parents said: "Persons for whom we know were in close contact with the individual were immediately notified and provided guidance based on DC Health and CDC guidelines. Close contact is defined as: (1) [b]being within approximately 6 feet (2 meters) of an individual with COVID-19 for a prolonged period of time (e.g., being in the same office or classroom as a positive and symptomatic individual).[/b].."

Do they really think we are this dumb?  Being in the same classroom as another kid DOES NOT mean you are within 6 feet of them.  Are classrooms 6 feet large?  Only one or two kids in a classroom, at most, will be within 6 feet of another child in the classroom for a prolonged period of time.[/quote]

I don't know about Janney, but the schools and camps I know aren't doing assigned seats with kids staying six feet apart all day.

I see kids going out to play, and not being asked to distance on the playground.  I see teachers using structures like circle time, and centers that they didn't use when they first went back.

I would imagine at the end of the day, it's going to be hard for a teacher to remember who that kid sat next to at lunch, lined up behind on the way to recess, and played the math board game with during centers.  [/quote]
