The one or two day a week plan defies common sense.
Is being exposed to covid two days instead of five really that different?
Cannot wrap my brain around the sheer stupidity of this.
The stupidity of what? Just use some common sense. Your kid goes to school and is exposed to other kids with covid. You really think that going to school two days a week means they will NOT be exposed to the virus but five days they will be?
If it isn’t safe to go to school five days a week then it isn’t safe to go to school two days a week.

YES it really is that different. Data, science, and humility are your friends.
If I had asymptomatic covid would you be ok spending two days with me next week, including touching each other (because kids do) but not five days? Because that’s basically what you’re saying.
So you keep YOUR kid locked up inside for the next 18 months. That is what you seem to be propsing.
I am proposing the opposite. I am actually relocating to a different part of the country so my child can attend school.

Please provide a source with a scientific study saying that having children attend fewer days will result in much better outcomes.
But they have higher per capita rates! Kids can be transmitters to adults! And no kid will follow physical distancing.
I’m unaware of any such studies. However common sense tells me that I don’t want to spend time with someone with covid, whether it’s 2x a week or more.
Yes, I'd like to see those studies, too. All the currently available evidence points to kids not playing a major role in community transmission. Sweden never closed primary schools, yet had less pediatric cases and deaths than some other countries that did.
No, the numbers I have seen were per capita. And the currently available evidence strongly points in the direction that kids are not strong transmitters. Just because people intuitively think kids are germy and schools have always spread infections doesn't mean that they necessarily spread this one.

Also the scientific study/data/“humility” needs to take into account that the students will likely have a babysitter or attend a daycare with different children/people the remaining three days of the week.

I don’t even thin on the children of medical workers should be educated any more. Let them eat cake instead.

yeah, we should definitely not educate those kids. In fact, probably need to just isolate them at home and away from the general population forever.

Yes. It is and small class sizes are easier to manage. Class sizes are too big anyway, half the day is crowd management.
