    Due to Luke’s DE classes, he will take the 2 day in person option. We will skip the bus, however. Their plan is to limit to 1 per seat, every other row. They estimate that the 75 person buses will carry 11 people.

    Niiiice.

                unless physical distancing and face covering recommendations are implemented with extremely high levels of consistency

                Yup, the teachers won more days at home with pay for doing nothing

                Because covid

                    Not to plug it again, but the NYT’s podcast The Daily had a good episode about school reopenings. Link below.

                    Anyway, @LuFins-Dad looks like Fairfax County is doing the same. The ripple effect this has throughout the region and workplaces is enormous!

                      Not sure this is true for all school districts in the US. In talking with some friends, the school may have remote learning, but the teachers are required to be in the building to do the remote teaching. For them, it will be a regular day schedule.

                        Right, every State, City and County make their own rules.

                        And the feds can threaten to take away money when they want to make some rules.

                          Our Japanese foreign exchange student is coming in three weeks to stay with us again. Not clear why. As far as I know, she'll be taking online classes from her room here, rather than doing so from her room in Japan. But we'll take the money.

                          Education is extremely important.

                            True, Copper. But don't forget the average percentage from the feds is around 12%, mostly going towards Title I. So, it's not huge.

                              @Copper Sorry to hear you have such a low opinion of teachers, Copper. All the teachers I know are working harder than ever to make learning still happen, no matter what situation we find ourselves in.

                                    I'm not really familiar with all of them.

                                    I imagine they go anywhere from 100% live teaching to 0% live teaching.

                                    Calling the ones that are 0% live teaching and just playing canned videos teaching would be a stretch.

                                      I doubt many teachers are doing that, @Copper

                                      All of the teachers I know are working their ass off to teach, whether online or in person. And most say online is way harder and exhausting. This includes my mom who, somehow (?), teaches special ed students. She actually had a medical incident due to the stress involved in trying to successfully teach April.

                                        Your mom's still teaching?? I'm not surprised about the stress, it's rough for teachers right now, too. Your mom okay?

                                          Yup, she’s retiring next spring though (planned before COVID, it’s just odd her last year will be virtual). She’s fine, thanks for asking. Docs think it was a mini stroke of some sort...this was back when teachers were scrambling to learn online teaching technology, and particularly tough as my mom had to also update all of her special ed students’ individual education plans as well. Combine that with an unhealthy amount of screen time (teaching), just a bad combo of events!
