THEN.  DON'T.  GO.

Honestly why is this so hard to understand?  [b]The proposal by a previous poster had a full DL option.

But you do realize how wrong and selfish it is to say "my family does not want to return.  thus, no families can return.'

Spoiler alert: you are not the queen of england, and you shall not be treated as such[/quote]

I'm the PP with the proposal, and actually my point was that the full DL option is also fully imaginary at this point. It's up to the state and Hogan, and I haven't noticed them proposing anything of the sort. Have you? Hogan is happy to use every opportunity to take swipes at Elrich, but he's not doing the things that would actually help kids get back to school.[/quote]

To do DL and in person we'd need twice as many teachers/staff as we have now.[/quote]

That's not true at all. We'd need twice as many teachers/staff if in every school, half of the students did DL, half of the students went to school, and otherwise everything else remained the same. But we don't know how many students would do DL vs go back to school, and things do not have to remain the same. For example, in an elementary school with 4 kindergarten classes, what if 75% of students went to school and 25% did DL? Then you could have 3 classes of K in school, and 1 class of K in DL, with the 4 K teachers.[/quote]

And, how would you deal with the capacity issue at school at 75%.  Your numbers wouldn't work as kids need to be at least 6 feet away, preferably 10.  Not including all the repairs needed to many of the buildings.  Most classrooms don't have the space for social distancing.[/quote]

Why 10? Who has ever discussed 10?[/quote]

Its been discussed on several news sites.  6 feet is the minimum but it can travel further so best practice is 10.[/quote]

But 10 has never been part of any policy-based decisioning. So it's irrelevant to capacity discussions.[/quote]

It is relevant to health and safety.  However at best we could do 1-2 feet, not 6.  So, how do you propose we do it between 4-6 feet in some of the smaller classrooms?[/quote]

It's a waste of time to even consider this nonsense. A vaccine will be out in January. They can begin phasing in vaccinated students in the following months. [/quote]

The dirty little secret is that there is not a having in development for children. No students will be vaccinated. The one available in the first quarter of 2021 will be adults only.

The other secret is that it won't be effective for obese people. Which will be a problem here in the states[/quote]

Which is why we absolutely need to continue DL until a vaccine is available for everyone- if that takes an extra year, it’s worth it IMO.[/quote]

Which is why the PP from many pages back who suggested a full F2F option and a full DL option was right.

You may feel comfortable with DL until the 22-23 school year.  Many others do not.  And your preference should not be given more weight than mine.

Really, the BOE needs to do another survey.  But not a "how do you think its going" survey.

A very specific one.  What school do you attend?  Will you return?  Can you provide your own transportation?  Can you provide your own masks?  Have your children agreed to comply with the safety measures?  Do you acknowledge that violation of the safety measures may mean you are switched to DL?  Etc, etc.[/quote]
