[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree 100% that K-5 should be a go when rates drop a bit. 6-12 nope.  APS didn’t cohort them.  They could have, but they didn’t. And the virus properties indicate it is safer for 10 and under.  Not MS and HS. [/quote]

I’m the PP who said the same thing. This is honest to god the only workable plan. But school boards and admin are terrified of the 6-12 backlash if they say so.

All kids deserve to be in school. 
It is safe(enough) for elementary. It is not safe for MS/HS. Nobody in leadership is ready to call it like it is though.

Elementary could have been in all along but were held back because OLDER kids aren’t cohorted and spread it more like adults. It’s unfortunate. [/quote]

I don't think there will be a 6-12 backlash.  Perhaps from 6th grade parents but most of the secondary students I know are trucking along and doing fine with the DL.  I know there are some kids struggling, not anyone I actually know but what I read here, but most of the kids in our circle are pretty happy.  They have great social networks and they also recognize that the health risk isn't worth it for them.  The biggest things my older kids miss are the things like homecoming and prom because those are such big benchmarks for high school.[/quote]
