[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a strict policy on maintaining distance during outdoor recess (I'm in a CARE room too) and it's easily the hardest part about the day. How is your assigned school handling recess/social distancing?[/quote]

Recess is tough! Only 1 class outside at a time. I am watching and the students are good at saying '6 feet!'. but things happen. I focus on what I can control- masks up/tight, hand sanitizer ect.

I have thought about sectioning the playground in quads, and placing 2-3 kids per section. But at the end of the day I am just not sure if it would be worth it. I would love to hear about what your school does![/quote]

I find the focus on keeping kids 6 feet apart while masked outdoors bizarre because, if this is anything like our DCPS, the same kids are all playing together on the playground afterschool (masked, but definitely not 6 feet apart). There is virtually no evidence of outdoor masked transmission; when you add in that these are kids, who appear to transmit somewhat less (degree unclear) in general, it actually seems like an unnecessary precaution. Parents who are willing to send their kids back to school are willing to have them free play masked outdoors. [/quote]
