[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can some explain how to make 3ft rule into 5 day school?

You get all 22 kids in class K-2. I guess you can spread 3 ft in every classroom?

But they need 6 ft when they eat lunch. So you are saying they all eat outside, on the ground, in all weather?

Is there anything I’m missing?

Buses you say, just run like normal school, masks and windows will do it (again in all weather?)[/quote]
3 ft spacing won’t allow 22 kids in most rooms[/quote]

I'm sorry, but kids are not sitting closer than 3 feet in classrooms.. they are not on each others laps. [/quote]

VA guidelines for K-1 is a 975 sq ft classroom

3ft distance means 3ft left, right, front, which defines a 36 ft^2 space per pupil

22 kids need 792 sq ft. So you have 150 SQ ft for  teacher, bathroom, sinks, counters, etc.

Assuming all old rooms meet guidelines. 2nd grade guides say 800 sq ft[/quote]

I think your math may be off, as you're double counting the 3-feet (e.g., if I'm three feet to your left, you don't need to also count three feet from you to get three feet between us. So really, kids need to each sit in the center of a 9  sq ft box to be appropriately distanced. Since 9 times 25 is just 225 sq ft, it would be easy to accommodate students with three feet of distancing (indeed, with desks and aisles, it probably isn't that different from how classrooms normally look).[/quote]

Oh right, its 3 ft between no 3 ft each person.[/quote]
