Reopening schools will be easy. Keeping them open will be the hard part. That's the assessment from many educators as districts around the country prepare to reopen. The ability of schools to identify and contain coronavirus outbreaks will be tested.

FILE - In this Aug. 5, 2020, file photo, wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID19, elementary school students use hand sanitizer before entering school for classes in Godley, Texas. As schools reopen around the country, their ability to quickly identify and contain coronavirus outbreaks before they get out of hand is about to be put to the test.

Contact tracing might prove difficult “when you have that many students and they have multiple contacts inside of a building,” said Dallas schools chief Michael Hinojosa. “Clearly, he’s disappointed,” Martin said. But the school “responded pretty well from a bonehead parent making a decision to send their kid to school knowing they have a pending COVID test result.”

In Pennsylvania, the Bethlehem Area School District intends to keep classrooms open if there’s a confirmed case. “One closure decision can lead to a potentially crippling and precedent-setting domino effect of closures throughout the school district,” the district says on its website.

As First Lady Trump said, “When children are out of school, they are missing more than just time in the classroom. They’re missing the laughter of their friends, learning from their teachers, and the joy of recess and play.

For kids wellbeing, they need to go back to school. Students and parents can have the option to opt for online or in person classes but they must have the OPTION. What if the inability to return to school forces a parent to lose their job and their insurance

Since our government at all levels is unable to identify and contain coronavirus outbreaks, aren’t we asking a lot of our schools? I mean, c’mon.

Reopening safely is not easy. Many educators do not want kids or themselves placed at risk.

If you child is sent home for exposure to caronavirus, you have to quarantine them inside your home to avoid (maybe) spreading to others there. Then, do you tell your employer and others you interact with?

A temper check at the door is nearly worthless. Not everyone with Covid gets a fever. And you can have the virus but still be totally asymptomatic.

Yes schools will be tested if they don’t test every student & teacher before reopening for the COVID19 virus. Schools will need to test regularly & until a safe vaccine can be instituted. There are many companies who can provide this testing on a large scale. Stop the 3rd wave.

lol.... nothing like preparing yourself for failure. No thanks. I'm not going back to teaching in a dirty school anytime soon.

Come on over to The Netherlands! Schools have been open since June! Reopen in August up till university!

The people making the decisions don't care. The school board, the department of education, they do not care. Worst case scenario is they kill a whole bunch of children and their record shows that they really don't fucking care about dead kids.

How do all the day cares in my area do it. They’re all open and I never hear or read anything pertaining to a youngster contracting Covid 19. Maybe the schools need to take a look at the day cares and see what they are doing.

Winter is coming.

Just a statistic. Fucked up

It is plain irresponsible stupidity 2 open schools until we have a 'proven' vaccine, effective testing, contact tracing & quarantine process. R children R not guinea pigs!! I call out 2 resister attorneys & teachers to step in and file a lawsuit that stops this unreasonable risk.

It's called 'time bomb'...

Looks like homeschooling is the way to go for the 2020-2021 school year.

The solution... $OPTI

Opening schools will cause a third wave.

Phillips County, Montana had 0 cases until this last week. A group of people went to a wedding in Billings and now they had 21 positive cases. Now the superintendent and a teacher both tested positive in a school with less than 60 kids.

Homeschooling has been the way to go pre pandemic

I work in a high school with seven different classrooms and at least six different staff members. If we go back to in person, guess who the vector will be. 🎯

This is going to sound selfish and self-centered, but I feel so relief that I'm out of school and so are the people close to me. I could not imagine the fear of sending someone I care about, to a place full of people for 8 hours a day.

There is nothing “easy” about reopening schools.

shipractical

And now the pivot.........

This is why I cannot fathom why my daughters school district had no testing plans in their possible options this fall. What is the point of safety measures if we cannot tell if they are working? HollandSentinel WestOttawaHS

Wait, does that school have the fire alarm pull station behind locked plexiglass? Doesn't that totally defeat the point of the system?

'Killing children is easy, making parents ok with that is the hard part.'

Is the gamble worth it. Casinos are closed but nyc schools open. NYGovCuomo is placing bets on our kids back.

A face shield without a mask on underneath is basically useless. It’s not a one or the other type situation.
