Educators. Stop complaining about online learning. It’s called being safe. Dead students can’t learn nor can dead teachers teach. The biggest complaint about online learning should be the number of days per week, asynchronous versus synchronous, and applicable rigorous instruction that is equitable for all.
If we could not figure out limiting class sizes when we didn’t have coronavirus how in the world are we going to do it equitably now for social distancing? Can you imagine only 10-12 students in grades 3-12? Can you imagine no fights in a school- whose going to break it up? How do you keep little kids masks on all day in k-2nd grade? If they cannot go outside and break that energy down, when and how? Physical education is also problematic. The best course of action is online learning until the summer of 2021.
Schools are a Petri dish of germs. Parents send the kids to school sick with a belly of cough and cold medicine. It has not changed in 100 years, and while they are doped up with medicine and sick everyone on the bus is now sick. That same bus picks up high school and middle school kids. You know the bus driver isn’t cleaning between pickups. So one child and one parent that is tired of a said child has infective an entire cluster.
Nah. Stay home player. School systems cannot handle the liability of any disease simply because an uneducated president, sobering parents, and emotional teachers want it. These same people will be upset when it’s their child that gets sick on the first day and we have to shut the entire system down.
As my earlier post stated: if we can’t solve the ringworm, head lice, pink eye issue because kids touch each other and parents send them to school anyway. How in the heck do you think that Coronavirus will be any different, which is more deadly?
