We also have to be cognizant of the fact that if we do a really good job maintaining community transmission at a very low rate, there's no reason to believe why we can't have schools function and operate successfully. I'm not suggesting that outbreaks will not happen. I think I would be shocked if outbreaks didn't happen and we should all expect that multiple outbreaks will happen. That doesn't bring me any real sense of alarm or a sense of panic.
Until this virus disappears, it's naive to suggest that it will not find its way into a congregate setting such as a school environment and it's risky to be assuming that that doesn't come with potential consequences for the entire community. We need to make it something that is fun for kids, we need to make it something that is part of their personality. Whatever methods that teachers and resource staff can use to create a positive culture around mask wearing is really, really important.
9. Some parents are planning to keep their kids home for the first few weeks of classes. Is there any advantage to this?While it may be tempting to do that, the potential downside is that if enough people fall into that decision, you're not really going to be testing the school environment to see if it's up to snuff in terms of preventing the transmission of COVID-19.
In the rare circumstance that recess needs to be held indoors, it should at least be in a gym space that is quite large if possible. You may even have to break recess up into potentially two different recesses where one group of kids goes at one time and another group of kids goes at another time to avoid unnecessary crowding.It has a theoretical advantage of limiting the absolute number of children that are in an indoor environment at a given point in time.
My question is classrooms everywhere can barely fit 30 desks in the room with double rows and 1 foot aisle how do governments expect them to fit these same 30 desks with 1ft to 2 ft spacing all around each desk?
So it's not safe. That's the bottom line.
You can always refer to the charts if you're uneasy:
There is no place one can hide n the universe. Do not be frightened, just be careful.
It’s scary how dumb these brainwashed parents are
Kid's shouldn't be wearing masks, no one should.
I’m sorry but at the end of the day it’s 20-22 people in one small, poorly ventilated room for 8 hours of the day. I understand school has to resume but risk assessment is right in front of our noses
Sure! Keep your kids home from a proper education so they can be some morons like their parents!
Whatever decision parents make, they need to be confident in that decision because at this point it’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Do what’s best for you, your children and your family at this time.

Sure, if you are a parent that wants to keep feeding fear into your kid and don’t mind keeping them home in a bubble protected from every germ in the world. Well, more space for our kids that are returning to in person class!
Yes, definitely we should if we as parents ourselves want to stay healthy as well and in order to prevent a really badly second outbreak too.
Yes.
Would save them from indoctrination bs.
CTV... No one looks to you for answers... lol
What if there will be another virus or pandemic, soon after this one? Shall we all stay home, including workers, farmers... we all stay home and starve.. We need to deal with this kind of problems .. I am not sure how, but we better find the way.. or our kids won't have a future
