[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want every single one of you people who are against a virtual OPTION to watch this (not just read the tweet, watch the video):

Good luck. They won’t even explain what they would like to see for quarantined students, let alone those who want a full-time virtual public option.

I’m currently planning on sending my child (under 12) in-person, but I can legitimately see why some people do not want to when vaccines are a few months away. The cases above are terrible and we won’t know about any long-term damage for quite some time. [/quote]

As I have posted here repeatedly - what I would like to see is using the rapid-test approach in lieu of quarantine.  Together with mandatary teacher/staff vax (since vaccinated don't have to quarantine), this would DRAMATICALLY reduce the number of quarantined kids to those who are actually covid positive (maybe extend to siblings as well).  If the kid is covid positive, then I'm not that worried about virtual for them, since it will presumably be a one-time two-week quarantine.  But provisions for the teacher sending written work virtually would probably be good.

quarantines can also  be shortened to just 7 days (with a neg test taken on day 5).  This is in line with the CDC.  I would be comfortable with just asychronous work during that time, because it's relatively short and not likely to repeat.
