The school bus thing is the biggest issue. My kid ms school doesn’t have busses so I’m not worried, but this is going to be hell on logistics and will be costly
This is all so fricking stupid

To be honest, I can't keep up with studies. New one comes out and then it's bullshite days later.

Any student with COVID-19 must remain home until he or she has recovered and has been deemed non-infectious by a doctor.
If flu season is any indication, good luck with that. We regularly have parents send kids in with fevers (had to call EMS on a student with 103 degree fever just last year), refuse to answer the phone/pick up the sick, etc.

It will be interesting to see how my school handles lunch shifts.

Agreed. Lafayette has had a shortage of bus drivers for years. It's like clockwork, before every school year starts we get thew news stories. In recent years they've condensed bus routes and just jammed kids in there.

I really want to see a teacher try and teach class with a mask on and understand what the students are saying from across the classroom. That will be a cluster frick.

School kids don’t appear to transmit the new coronavirus to peers or teachers, a French study found, weighing in on the crucial topic of children’s role in propagating Covid-19.
Scientists at Institut Pasteur studied 1,340 people in Crepy-en-Valois, a town northeast of Paris that suffered an outbreak in February and March, including 510 students from six primary schools. They found three probable cases among kids that didn’t lead to more infections among other pupils or teachers.

Students in grades 3-12 will be required to wear masks if they don't have breathing issues. Staff will be required to wear masks.
Kids will touch those masks so much it'll render them useless. This is about optics, not about safety.

Yeah, some parents believe it's their duty to send kids to school even when they're green and puking. I think that's what the symptom check is for when they enter school. I don't envy principals and counselors having to deal with the type of parents who plan on sending their kids to school sick during a pandemic.

Kids have to go to school, they don’t have a choice. They have to sit in their assigned desk. If we’re going to force little Sally to sit in a room 3 feet away from a couching kid whose parents didn’t keep him home during a fricking pandemic, the least we could do for her is make everyone put a mask on.

No it's not. 99.99999% of anyone in that school is not going to be affected by the Kung flu. I fact they likely can get it and never know they had it.
Hand sanitizer is all they need. A mask is complete BS. The pandemic is even bigger BS.

Does "maximum group size" mean the number of people in a classroom at once, or is it referring to something else?
Because if you can only have 9 students + 1 teacher in a classroom under phase 1, and 24 students + 1 teacher in a classroom under phase 2, you aren't going to have enough classrooms or teachers to spread everyone out.

In our building we have around 1900 kids, but more importantly we have close to 100 staff members between instructional and non-instructional staff.
A lot of substitute teachers are teachers who have retired and are working the X amount hours allowed to supplement their retirement income. I anticipate a lot of those folks leaving all together or taking off a year or two until we find better treatment or a vaccine for COVID-19. That's where the real hit will come, when most states/districts already have sub shortages.

Good luck with getting 3rd graders to wear a mask all day long, and the bus situation. I hope I’m wrong but I give it about 6 weeks before the schools are shut down again.

Phase 2 will definitely be difficult for most schools. Phase 1 is impossible. I think if we're still in phase 2, they will cancel PE classes and make use of gyms as classrooms.

Well the good news is that it sounds like they're going to do targeted shutdowns and not mass shutdowns. If certain schools do well, they can stay open. The offenders can be shut down over and over again.

Don’t forget about changing classes. 100s of kids in those hallways all at once.
Posted on 6/25/20 at 10:48 am to hendersonshands
Yeah targeted shut downs are normal. They do that for the flu.
Flu season should be pretty low this year, one would think.

Agreed. But that's just common sense.
Oh well, if people like Jon Ham feel better, all is perfect in this world.
