[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone wants schools back in session. Safely. If you can’t do it safely - either due to lack of funds or lack of willpower - the teachers will not come back.

Here’s what you need:
1. 100% masking
2. Social distancing - 6 feet radius. This means you to reduce class sizes and setup new physical spaces.
3. Ventilation - fresh air in every room, plus enhanced circulation
4. Hand washing & disinfecting
5. Vaccines for teachers

Do this and you can open schools. Cant do this? You’ll be in distance learning until your kids are vaccinated.

If you’re pushing against these safety measure or won’t fund them, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

It’s really that simple.

Actually it’s not. States that have full time regular old school are doing just as well as hysterical jurisdictions covid-wise. See FL vs CA. NPR did a whole story about it. [/quote]

Can confirm. My elementary schooler has been back full time since Oct (public school). It is mostly normal school with masks. Some additional distancing measures (particularly at pickup, drop off, hall management etc- main objective is to avoid mixing of classroom cohorts). No 6ft radius in the classroom. Increased use of sanitizer and hand washing yes. No special ventilation. All teachers who want vax have now received first dose but obviously that is recent.

400 kids back in person since October, 4 cases total (all unrelated- not even in same class) and we are in an area of high community spread. [/quote]

And yet teachers & some parents are acting like they are marching into a death sentence. [/quote]

Because this person's supposed personal experience is not universal.  My siblings' kids are in full-time F2F (not in the DMV) with masks and distancing "required" (but no discipline offered if not followed) and the high schools and middle schools on their district COVID dashboard routinely have 20-30+ cases at a time, and a significant percentage of those are teachers (yes, I know you people want to pretend that teachers are out clubbing and not getting at at school, but don't bother).  There have been outbreaks on both the basketball and football teams of my nephew's school.

"Doesn't spread in school" is a convenient lie supported by editorials to support an agenda.  It's nonsense.[/quote]

But is it a death sentence? No. [/quote]
