Just restart the school year for everyone in September.

It's one semester/year that will be the same for everyone. Your DS isn't worse off than everyone else.

The governor of Ohio suggested this morning on CNN it was entirely possible there that kids would not be back in school until the fall.

Ohio--California--Virginia--we're all facing the same questions, concerns, problems. I doubt anything is off the table at this point.

Buckle up, everybody, it's sure to be a wild ride.

I’m not really all that concerned about my 3rd and 5th graders.

I would be more concerned in high school and college.

on Thursday they started doing that and it worked, so why not do it for grades.

The education of the children is not the biggest concern right now. University kids close to getting degrees - we might want to finish those. But K-11 or K-12 is not the biggest concern right now. The entire world is in this boat, it will be okay.

Who cares. Give everybody an NA.

link i was talking about school might closed for more than 8 weeks, so they might just reopen in september

There is literally nothing that can be done about all these scenarios now. We have to wait to see what social distancing means and how effective it is and where the curve ends up.

If schools are closed till September will everyone pass with an A's??

what its going to happen to
the cdc is reporting to closed school down for at least 8 weeks, then means kids will return in May, and to play it safe kids are going to want to play it "safe" and go back in Septmeber, of course they will start an other changed.org petition and they won't go back to the fall.

should they have free summer school classes for kids who are willing to go if everything is better by then?
