The distance learners have their own teacher (so teachers are not teaching both online and in person). It’s just one school and certainly isn’t indicative of anything, but it has been going very well for us. As of now, they intend to resume school as normal after winter break.

Which school/ location?

WaPo today reports on how college classrooms are not the source of spread - it is the socializing in dorms/shared housing etc.

This is not hard, folks. Controlled environments are not Covid spreaders. You are free to keep your children away from school as long as you wish. The rest of world wants to move forward - starting with the kids.

So, a bunch of teens in a dorm = spreading, but a bunch of teens in a college classroom = not spreading? What an amazing virus that knows whether it’s in a school setting or not.

Shows that schools can be opened safely even in areas with high community spread.

Just because schools are open where there is high community spread doesn't mean it's happening safely. In fact, it could be those areas are not closing down enough and causing the high community spread.

You can keep making up your own theories to justify your position, or you can listen to the experts who are saying that schools are not significant drivers of community spread.
