Does your kids' school have a different plan for the fall for potential closures? Just to be clear, I don't think they will need to be shut down, but it seems like they should have a better plan in place for the upcoming year
We have some friends who have kids who attend a catholic HS here in NOLA. The kids all have laptops already and were using them extensively in class for a while now. This school had always been preparing for an extended e-learning platform (mainly in case of a hurricane), so when all this happened, they just flipped the switch.
The kids just logged in to their class period for each class each day. It seemed to work well.
I don't know how ANY e-learning solution can work well for elementary school kids, though. Middle school is kind of a mixed card.

n North AL it'll be silly to Send your kid to a private school when a lot of the public schools downright blow them out of the water in academic achievements & athletics.
Outside of Birmingham has some badass super 7A high schools that rival small community colleges in Louisiana and Mississippi

It’s not going to work for us when both of us have jobs that are impossible to work from home. Not sure how I’m supposed to keep my 10 and 7 year old home to do the e learning.

This is just another reason I'm hoping the schools actually plan for this shite. There are so many things they could do to make things safe, but I feel like they will be trigger happy later in the fall to just switch back to e-learning without any effort put into keeping things open safely.

People want to bash the public schools for "babysitting" but the reality is, most parents work these days, private or public schools. And in the summer, that's why so many kids that age go to day camps.
Schools provide a critical function - they educate our kids, WHILE allowing us to work.
If we lose the ability to work, many families won't be able to cut it.

8 year old Daughter goes to a private school in Hammond. Within two weeks of the shut down they had assignments, online quizzes, weekly meetings with their teacher on zoom. They had a site set up so they could take reading quizzes. They put out tests, etc. wasn’t perfect but considering the circumstances I was very pleased with the effort to maintain learning.
Friends kids in public school didn’t do shite.

If they are worried about a spike maybe they need to follow what universities are doing - after Thanksgiving go virtual until MLK day and then resume in person classes.

Not sure what parish your friends live in, but here in Ascension my kids had multiple assignments and zoom classes each day. They also had tests each week as well.
I was working from home so it was actually pretty nice bc everyone still got up at normal times for a school day and i was able to start work between 730-800 and they already knew what work they had that day.
Now I realize most kids weren’t getting up that early but my kids liked that once they had everything done, they could go outside or do whatever other activities they wanted.

But if you count how long one lesson lasts and how many students in the class, you can understand that the student, in any case, will receive very little attention from the teacher and that is why I do not see the point in it.
Of course, I'm not saying that it doesn't make sense, of course, private schools are useful, because they have a much better level of education than public ones, but wouldn't independent study be better? Isn't that more effective?
