Back to school adventures coming up: Internal discussion points inside:

If, and I mean IF, kids are allowed to go back to school this fall, here are a few items being discussed:
Masks will be requested (but apparently there is no legal basis to require them for entry, which is curious since mayors can require private business to require them but they can’t in a public institution?)
Temperatures will have to be checked by home room TEACHERS, after, mind you, they’ve been on the school bus, exposed to other kids already and who knows what else. Which will require...
6’ distancing on the busses, which will be problematic because there aren’t enough busses to accommodate the new distancing requirements.
6’ distancing between kids in halls and any other collective areas, including classrooms (many of which are not large enough to handle this). Which makes me wonder...
How can they enforce distancing but not enforce a simple face covering, legally speaking?
There are many more logistical issues being discussed, but the whole thing draws a lot of attention to the government hypocrisy and confusion that is going on, as well as the absolute frick show that we are about to endure as a society. This is only the beginning. This is what happens when government gets so powerful and yet clueless all at the same time. Most of these ‘leaders’ are unqualified for middle management in the private sector, yet they are now dictating major, life altering policy based on half assed data, speculation, politics, and future aspirations, with no checks, balances, oversight, or voter approval. It’s a nightmare.

It’s not feasible for schools at all.

Clown world.
Young people ("kids") are the least susceptible to this virus.

People thinking these rules are going to work 1. have no real experience with kids/teaching and 2. haven’t been in a school since they graduated decades again

What area are these regulations being discussed?

Our district is looking into thermal cameras at entry points. We demoed these and they work quite well. We are a poor parish so this can be done more places than you think

The biggest issue was the buses and halls, etc.
Which is why our district is leaning towards a hybrid model, K-5 goes 5 days a week face to face, 6-12 goes 2 days a week, staggered, one day for disinfecting, and the days they aren't at school they are getting a live feed from district distributed devices and hot spots if they need them all from CARES act funding.

LSU Lab sent out their reopening plans today.
School is splitting the school into 2 groups. One group goes MW & the other goes TTh and everyone is virtual on Fridays. No mention of recess but lunch will be 6ft distancing.
If we go back to phase 1, all will be virtual.

My kids' private school is seeing a surge in enrollment from parents of public school students who want their kids in a classroom in August. Don't have to worry about buses and student to teacher ratio was already low

Central schools will be putting a school employee on the bus to perform temperature scans before the student is allowed on a bus. A parent will be required at the bus stop for those 3rd grade and under. Older students will have to be called in to the office of student services real time to respond if a parent is not home/available. Going to be a shite show!

My wife is teaching in Munich. They started out with all these idiotic rules that make it impossible to teach. Now it is pretty much back to normal. This whole thing is getting beyond stupid and it being done for political reasons.
