[quote=Anonymous][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]

EXACTLY.  We all wanted in person instruction, and this is what good in person instruction looks like.  Its going to mean that the whole class is exposed to each other, or, like you said, its at least going to be hard to remember who.[/quote]
