We will dis-enroll our kids in the fall if they cancel school. We will find a better home school curriculum. F this shite.
I think that's unenroll
Anywho...I think a lot of private schools might have this problem if they make this announcement. They put a clause in my wife's contract at her school this year that I've never seen....that if enrollment doesn't meet a certain threshold that allows for the school to meet expenses then the contract is null and void. That provision has never been in her previous contracts (year to year). So they are anticipating it.

Thankful my wife is a SAHM and I don’t have to worry about this
Now my wife might have a different opinion about the thought of having to homeschool our 7 year old while keeping a 1 year old entertained for another several months

This is beyond stupid. If anything just keep kids with their respective classrooms and teachers.
Keeping kids in one class will be next to impossible to do with high school and even some middle schools who have different career pathways, magnet classes, AP and Honors, ECE, etc.
The option being talked about here is rotating shifts of kids. Either on different days or having elementary schools go earlier in the day and the older kids go in the evening so they can be at home to assist with the younger ones. With NTI supplemented in there.
Either way, no one is going to be happy. But there's 100% guarantee school won't be the same as it was when we left. People are just going to have to accept that.

Summer Camps are set to open June 1. I dont see why we can have camps but not school.
Most summer camps are privately funded. That is, you pay a fee to send your child to summer camp. They are generally a significant source of income for the group/organization putting them on. Thus, there is incentive for those organizations to have summer camp. Likewise, the summer camp employees don't get paid unless summer camp takes place. They have incentive to work.
However, if you are a public school teacher what incentive (other than simply wanting to return to a normal worklife) do you have for pushing a return to normal school life? Whether you are on campus teaching or doing "virtual learning" you're not losing any of your pay check or at risk of losing your job. Your insurance and retirement benefits will remain in place. So many (not all of course) will push to stay at home because it doesn't affect them financially and for some (perhaps many) the daily work load is lessened.
The "logic" will be that a summer camp allows kids more room to "social distance" than a crowded classroom. But the reality is whether at summer camp on on a school campus, kids are going to come into enough contact with one another to spread viruses. Always have. Always will.

So schools should open up in the fall but kids go every other day. So either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday type of thing. Then Friday will rotate between the two set of kids. This is the most popular theory out there currently. The biggest issue is buses. How can kids get bused to school is the million dollar question
Dumb
All kids are still going to school. Kids won’t social distance whether there are 10 or 20 there

If states don't get federal assistance, there will certainly be job loss in the education sector because funding was already tight to begin with.
And the teachers I know HATE NTI. I mean HATE. They'd give anything to be in a classroom with their kids instead. The workload isn't close to lessened if you're a halfway decent teacher. It's now "unofficially" expected to be available at all hours of the day and differential instruction is a certified pain in the arse in a fully virtual environment.
The flipside is many of the teachers I work with are 60+ because they worked in shitty schools in the district for years and earned their spot in a better one by paying their dues. It'll be hairy for schools who have older staffs.

I don't see any way my wife and I could both keep our jobs. One of us would have to quit at some point.

Our sitter is an out of work bartender so we are good as long as bars don’t reopen

My oldest is at Gateway in Prairieville and has been going this entire time since my wife and I are both working. My youngest isn't old enough yet to be at Gateway but will be in the fall. She stays with my mother during the day and has been for the past year.
This fall will be interesting to see what they do.

We will pull our kids out if their private school remains online during the fall.
It's been tough. Unlike many elementary schools around here my kids have been getting legit home school from their school. Zoom meetings 2-3 times per week. Daily videos and assignments for every subject (including religion) that cant be accessed until the specific day to prevent completing all the work in one or two days. On line tests, some timed.
Between my wife and the sitter we have managed, but no way I'm paying tuition and having to do this shite in the fall.

Yeah we’ll be doing the same if kids don’t start school in August

Yeah, I'm a high school teacher and I don't know any teachers that aren't hating this and all the ones I know want to be back in classes in the fall. It's ten times more work to transition everything online as well, if we are actually doing online school from the start of the year and actually holding students fully accountable then it would really suck.
The biggest issue going back in fall will not be students, it will be teachers getting sick. There are barely any subs in my district as it is, if more than 7-8 teachers are out we are typically having to cover each other's classes during our preps. And about half those subs are retired teachers who are typically 65+, so I doubt many would be working. If a bunch of teachers get sick they will have issues covering classes.
That being said, I'm all for being back in class come fall and will be pissed if we aren't.

No, we could not. My manager is already unhappy with me and the other people on my team who have young children and aren’t keeping up with her busy work, she thinks we’re all as bored as she is at home with her husband and her grown kids already out the house.
Beyond that, I just can’t do it. I have an almost 7 year old boy and his catholic school has daily zoom meetings, timed tests over zoom, and full coursework every day, and being that my son is a wild boy, it’s very hard to keep him at task for his work while also trying to work or run around to chase after whatever my 3 year old girl is getting into.
This isn’t feasible. Parents, especially those with little ones in school, are losing their minds.

I don’t think this can happen realistically. My wife had a breakdown this morning, not bad just stressed out. I see many others in the same situation. No childcare, no school activities, no summer activities, no where to go.
My wife and I are fricked if this happens. My work is already pushing me to be in the office full time. Right now I go when able but working mostly from home. My wife is working full time from home. We have a two year old who cannot go to "School" (Pre-k program). My wife is pregnant with our second and due in September. It will not be possible for me to work full time while my wife is at home working with a 2 yr old and newborn to take care of.
When we are able to access child care I wonder how frickin expensive it will be?!? Day care was already around $1k a month or over that most places pre-COVID near where we live.

My company would likely close as all of our customers are K-12, technical and community colleges. I'd be out of a job.
My son is headed to 4th grade and his grandmother lives on our property, so he'd have care. But he would hate it as much as he hated the current situation. We live rurally on a large acreage and he has no other kids close by.

I don't see anyway the schools will open up in the fall.
I hope I'm wrong though.
