[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see sooo many teachers commenting in various places that they’re worried about getting the virus so don’t think schools should resume in person.

Ok fine. If that happens? How many math teachers does a school really need? One per grade to put together the content. The online programs like Khan Academy do everything else including teaching and grading. This goes for the programs that my kids’ science and Spanish teachers are using as well.

[b]If school continues online for the next however many years, [/b]won’t there be a massive lay off of teachers? Why are they not more worried about their jobs?[/quote]

There is no way that will happen. Countries that were hit before us are already starting to go back. At the rate things are going, I do t even think we will be online in the fall. [/quote]

Yes, going back...but school looks very different. To give just one example: [b]my cousins are all in Belgium and they go back the week of May 18th[/b]. On week one, only 12th graders and 6th graders go back, 2 days/wk w no more than 10 per class. If that goes alright hey will add grades. Some grades only one day/wk.

I know we want to believe we’ll be back to FT school as it was before...okay. But I sure hope school and business leaders are planning for the possibility of a very different landscape.[/quote]

I find that kind of odd because Belgium has the second highest rate of cases per million population in the world, second only to Spain, and Belgium has the highest deaths per million of population.  Not sure why they are in a hurry to reopen anything.[/quote]

Because the loss of education and social interaction for kids matters too.[/quote]
