Kids older than elementary school (5th grade) will have to wear masks. My local district will have kids in school 2 days a week, at home 2 days a week and alternating Fridays. All kids in schools will have to maintain 6ft, and masks and have plexiglass barriers between desks. No recess, no moving classrooms (I think the teachers will move classrooms or something)
Screenshot this.
High school drop out rates are going to SKYROCKET in states like OR.
Imagine the high schooler that is on the rotation schedule away from their friends? Or the 'sweethearts' that their BF/GF is in the other rotation or a different class.
Kids don't go to school willingly just to learn...they go to have fun and see friends. A friend's daughter is autistic and the lack of quality social interaction has set her back MONTHS. Kids learn how to deal with conflict, how to be social, how to build interpersonal relationships with people. Its not just about education. Schools needs to open fully with reasonable non mentally debilitating measures.
