[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there truth to this? What the heck? I'm at a loss of words and hope it's an inflated rumor. [/quote]

It’s true, and one of several reasons we decided to keep our first grader home/virtual. I totally support  reasonable mitigation measures— masks, no sustained close interactions, etc. But it’s like they’ve worked hard to make sure any social benefits of returning to school are deleted. Hard not to wonder if it’s an intentional attempt to discourage people from choosing hybrid by making it unnecessarily miserable for the kids. [/quote]

Just out of curiosity, why would 10 feet be miserable and 6 feet be fine?

I do think that people for whom the benefits of returning to the classroom are so small that 10 feet vs 6 feet is your decision factor, need to stay home.  That's kind of the whole point of mitigation -- if it's possible for you to make a small sacrifice for gains, do so.  If you need something, then get it as safely as you can.   If you need your kid in school due to mental health (yours or the kid's) or economic factors, then take a slot, but if you're going to have a tantrum over a few feet, then you probably don't need it.
