Kids need to get back to the classroom for many reasons. It's a different world right now so schools need to do things differently to protect their teachers and families. We can do it but everyone must be wiling to encounter change. I'm fine with kids in masks and have been working with my kids on wearing them. My 8 year old is a champ and I trust her with one but maybe not for the K-2 set. Education is the key here.
Teachers have been told schools would close down for 14 days after a positive case and go remote. Should cases continue, schools will likely revert to distance learning for the duration. Given our numbers and lack of social distancing and mask compliance, there will be positive cases. Most of these other countries opening schools have better numbers and have still had multiple shutdowns due to outbreaks. Our country seems more tolerant of living with Covid in the community so it will be interesting.
Our public schools announce their opening plans July 1 and our private school will give full details on their decision on July 24.
