Yes without a shadow of a doubt.
If schools don’t open this fall I’ll have my pitchforks out

School is starting here on August 10th.
Yes, the kids are going. And they're happy to finally be coming back from spring break.

Not because I'm worried about covid, but I'm worried public schools may shut down in the middle of the year.
You should be more worried about them being indoctrinated by a communist.

quote:CV19 transmissibility amongst kids is questionable.
If schools opened this fall, would you send your kids?
Almost certainly far less than among adults.
CV19 infection in kids is less dangerous (and perhaps much less dangerous) than influenza.
How in the word would we justify a complete shutdown of schools?

Even the Academy of Pediatrics said open the schools.
That's incredibly misleading. It was not a blanket statement like that. AAP said that should in-person school should be the goal, but they also recommend taking multiple variables into account, including virus levels in the surrounding community. They also recommend keeping desks 6 feet apart. If the schools don't have room for that, then they may need to go to a hybrid model to accommodate those recommendations, if they're trying to comply.

Are you really asking this? Of course I will. Any normal person who has a functional brain would.

Yes and they want to go. They’re bored out of their freakin’ minds. They are excited about the idea of going back. I never thought I’d see the day.

My Dad was the principal of a newly integrated 1,200 student elementary school in the the mid-60's. He had one secretary, his teaching faculty, two janitors, and 4 cafeteria workers...that's it. There was no room for parasites and hanger on's. If a teacher couldn't handle their job, he said he never had to fire them. If the student's hadn't already run them off, they always left after he had a conversation with them. 1/2 of new teachers leave the profession after 3 years and they should, the sooner the better in fact. Sure it was a brutal system but there was very little dead weight, no time for social drama. He looks back amazed at how smooth integration went. The principals ran the school, the buck stopped there and in the end the community and parents were the final judge and jury of the schools 'yearly' report card.
Superintendents were always chosen from the best of the local high school principals, so they knew the system inside and out and were in a place to support or replace principals if needed. That was the system and it worked very well.
Side-note...The "central office" at the time was the Superintendent's office, he had a secretary who only worked answering the phone until noon.
