[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This had a good overview of how schools are reopening around the world:

This article was really eye-opening. School and expectations are clearly very different in the US.

Classrooms here are so crowded that even if you use the gym and outdoors, there wont' be any way to get the kids six feet apart. In my high school classroom, the desks were so close together there was barely enough room for aisles the students could walk through.

In MCPS there is this expectation that students will be able to take the bus or be dropped of at a particular morning hour. How would staggering drop-offs/picks-ups work? And as for individually serving meals at the students' desks.... wow.

Really, if we implement some of these changes it will be expensive, but it might be better for education. School will suddenly be about learning and not about daycare and activities. Start times/end times might be tailored to student and instructional needs. And overcrowding could be reduced...
