[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am trying to determine the requirements that are preventing schools from opening more fully for a letter to DOH and the mayor/councilmembers.  Here are the ones I have come up with so far and would appreciate it if others would chime in if there are others:

1. Six feet of distance between each student/desk in the classroom.

2. No classroom can be used for more than one cohort (is this per day? or needs to be cleaned between cohorts?)

3. Bathrooms- how many classrooms/kids can use at the same time?

4. No more than 11 students in a classroom at a time.

The limit on 11 students per classroom is HUGE and also very dumb. [/quote]

[b]I'm in favor of the limits, because that's how you maintain distance, which is one part of reopening safely. [/b] [/quote]

[b]If the teachers are vaccinated, then what's the problem? These kids may never be vaccinated[/b]. We are nowhere near pediatric vaccines being available. People need to stop the fear mongering and get these children back in class. [/quote]

I don't want my kid to give COVID to ME. I'm not vaccinated. [/quote]

You have the option to do virtual. And, in fact, you can do virtual next year and the year after and for as long as you like. Friendship PCS runs an all virtual k-12. Even pre covid. [/quote]

The hell? Why should she do virtual if the teacher could be vaccinated?! [/quote]

PP is saying she doesn’t want in person even if the teachers are vaccinated because the kids aren’t vaccinated. If that is the case, PP can choose virtual and not have to worry. But her concern should not prevent opening of schools for those who do not share it and want kids in schools once teachers are vaccinated. [/quote]
