[quote=Anonymous]Back to school, inside the school, in January 2022. My guess - and it's only a guess -- is that there will be a widely available vaccine by then. Now, whether it's 50%, 75% or 100% effective is anyone's guess. But its existence will remove the "not until there is a vaccine" objection to full-time, in-person school.

I also think that by Fall 2021 there will be two options for families: 1) Full time in-person instruction in school or 2) Full-time distance learning.  It'll take a year to shake out which teachers are willing to teach in person without a vaccine, and which aren't, with some of the former retiring or quitting and school systems hiring more of the latter.

I also think that by being able to offer those two options, the school system will finally be able to squelch the in-person vs. distance learning debate, and the vitriol that accompanies it. You want in-person? Sign up for that. You don't? OK, check the DL box. Then you can distribute teachers accordingly, with higher risk teachers (or those who just aren't comfortable teaching in person) handling the DL classes in each grade level.
