This virus won't affect anyone at school. It's not a nursing home.

Kids aren't teaching themselves. Majority of substitutes are retired (60+) teachers and most that I know are discussing taking a "temporary" retirement until either a vaccine or better treatment happens. If you're a public school chances are you have immunocompromised kids in your building by nature of ECE programs for students who have physical health issues that contribute to their disability.

That all said, most states have made guidelines near impossible to follow because we've allowed teacher to student ratios to reach 30+ to 1 type ratios. And it'll be next to impossible to social distance in high schools where kids are taking electives and don't adhere to the same schedules. And that's not even getting into the nature of hands on education in Elementary and many ECE classrooms.

But, again, this is when you have people making decisions who haven't stepped into a classroom in decades.
