[quote=Anonymous]Ok, so here’s an honest question, and it would be great if someone with some expertise could respond.

I am a retired person, and I am taking to heart the call to stay at home as much as possible.  Plan to leave house to run errands say, three times a week.  Like that.

My DH works, but his large company is testing telework for one day this week, so he may be working from home pretty soon.

Our DC is a middle schooler.  Not DCPS.  Today, as it happened, DC didn’t have school.  Instead of spending it with me at home, reading stories, and playing games, safely cultivating social distance...DC was out and about with a group of friends all afternoon.

I think it may make sense to close schools.  But I have two questions:

1. if schools close, would it be my job to make sure DC stays at home all the time?

2. If school closes, but DC does decide to go out gallivantiing from time to time, might that in any case be better than having DC go to school, where s/he would be exposed to 300 or so other kids, plus teachers, plus admin?
