In the spring, the kids ate in their classrooms. Why can't they do that again?
They can and they might, but in the spring teachers gave up their lunch break to monitor students. I was fine with it for a few months with a handful of kids, but I’m not okay with that being the plan for the whole year.
Tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry.

Did you not bother to teach them anything yourself? It's not just the school's responsibility.
And... Quite a few students do not take iReady seriously.

Well for the majority of schools they'll be twice as many classrooms, and who's supposed to be watching the kids while they're eating? In my school last year we used the classroom monitors, IAs, counselors, and front office stuff? We won't have classroom monitors and the majority of the other people will be busy now that we're back 5 days a week.

Dr Scott Gottlieb, former FDA commissioner, also weighed in on the concerns, saying that schools are not “inherently safe” from the Delta variant and that society “can’t expect the same outcome that we saw earlier with respect to the schools where we were largely able to control large outbreaks in the schools with a different set of behaviors.”
“The challenge right now is that the infection is going to start to collide with the opening of school. And we have seen that the schools can become sources of community transmission when you’re dealing with more transmissible strains,” Gottleib told CBS’s Face the Nation.
From the same article: Warning that virtual learning that kids have experienced for more than a year is “really bad for their development”, Collins urged that “we ought to be making every effort to make sure they can be back in the classroom. And the best way to do that is to be sure that masks are worn by the students, by the staff, by everybody.”
That’s what we have planned, k-12.

San Diego will be a good place to watch. They go back 8/10 and have a great vaccination rate.

They are somewhat concerning, but I’m at the point where I’m less concerned over the number of cases compared to the severity of cases.

Sure. Anything's possible. Kids could benefit from not being educated for 18 months+. Why not?
They can learn more and be safer from Sesame Street, discovery, nat geo, Fox business and YouTube math tutorials. It’s a great opportunity to rid our nation of the sloppy, chaotic and dangerous publics.
Sounds like you're on track for a homeschool plan. Feel free to unenroll our child. Good luck!
