Screw the teachers and kids. Force them to remain in large groups. Makes sense!I don’t understand the logic behind this. 38% of healthcare workers have kids in public schools. Do we really want a shortage of healthcare workers right now?
This is going to take a toll on our entire state economy. I understand lives come first. Unlike colleges that shut down somebody has to be home with kids.I don’t understand the logic behind this. 38% of healthcare workers have kids in public schools.

You don’t think they know this already? It should give others a clue that this is a big deal and important to do...This is going to take a toll on our entire state economy. I understand lives come first. Unlike colleges that shut down somebody has to be home with kids.
First, f!ck you for being a prick. Second, young folks have the strongest immune systems, so if anyone must continue gathering, it should be young people. Third, no one suggested that they have an assembly. I don’t know how you define “large groups,” but 20ish per classroom doesn’t meet the CDC’s criteria.Screw the teachers and kids.

Sorry didn’t mean to have an opinion Mr. Internet tough manYou don’t think they know this already? It should give others a clue that this is a big deal and important to do...
Sorry if I ruffled your feathers. It just blows my mind that people are questioning this right now.Sorry didn’t mean to have an opinion Mr. Internet tough man

"We" can also plan accordingly. If I were a healthcare worker with a young child in school, I'd probably spend today calling around to his friends' parents to see if one of them who will be at home feels comfortable letting him stay with them during the day. Or maybe my spouse works in the tourism or hospitality industry and will be home anyway very soon. There are always options and people tend to reach out and help each other during these times. We dont always have to throw our hands up in defeat at the first obstacle that comes along.They are needing to get ahead of this thing BUT I'm confident that contingency plans are in place or will soon be implemented to cover all essentials.
They would bring it home, speakings to those with weaker immune systems. That's the problem.First, f!ck you for being a prick.

I know it has been a long time since most here were in a school. Let me let you know how a typical (smaller) school operates. Kids come in (half ride/walk the other half by bus) and go to a holding area. At my school, the 8th grade waits in the cafeteria, 6th and 7th in the gym. For anywhere from 5-35 minutes, those kids are around 50-300 kids. (Plus adults).First, f!ck you for being a prick.

At no point did I suggest that students only come into contact with 20ish peers all day long as your clueless post suggests.Obviously you aren't a teacher and haven't been inside a school in a while. Students change classes, eat lunch, ride buses, etc.... They come in contact with way more than the 20ish peers your clueless post suggest.
Yes, screw the teachers johnny boy! Genius are ya?. Their pay is worth the risk.First, f!ck you for being a prick.

When you stated "20ish per classroom" doesn't meet the CDC standard, I think most logical people with average or above reading skills would infer that you do mean that kids only have to come into contact with 20 other kids per day.At no point did I suggest that students only come into contact with 20ish peers all day long as your clueless post suggests.
Must we assume that it has to be an all or nothing proposition? Couldn’t we keep schools open while making changes to the normal routine to limit exposure? Couldn’t students eat lunch in the classroom? Couldn’t bus arrivals be staggered? Use some critical thinking here, pal.
I congratulate you on being willing to share an opinion for which you will likely be skewered.So after March 31st we’re all good here? Whew! I’m glad there is end date to all of this. (I just love hearing that all these major business are closing until March 28th, 29th, whatever) I pray for all the small business owners in this country and around the world. I used to be one and let me tell you it’s hard enough running a business without this mess going on. This thing is going to absolutely crush the economy. Meanwhile 150,000 people on average die every day in the world.
At least your response was civil, which seems to be the exception.Before school, during the lunch break and after school are times where you can easily find yourself surrounded by 500+ people on a daily basis. So it's sensible to minimize large crowds where possible.
I'm just guessing, but I think the 'End of March' date is a less panicky way of saying indefinitely. It's the poker equivalent of calling the bet on the flop then reevaluating on the turn.So after March 31st we’re all good here? Whew! I’m glad there is end date to all of this.

At least two weeks. Many governors said this weekend that they would not be surprised if schools remained closed the rest of the YEAR.North Carolina schools shut down yesterday (Saturday) and Virginia schools shut down late Friday. Both were 2-week closings.
If shutting down large parts of society that involve people congregating is the operative plan, I'm not thinking that two weeks is going to do it.I'm just guessing, but I think the 'End of March' date is a less panicky way of saying indefinitely.

I expect at least 4 weeks. (That carries my district through the end of spring break).If shutting down large parts of society that involve people congregating is the operative plan, I'm not thinking that two weeks is going to do it.

I work for the Greenville county schools district. And I usually get info before it becomes public. But, I havent hear anything yet.
Not to mention that it will never work. I don’t know about you, but everyone I know is already stir crazy. People aren’t going to just stay home indefinitely.If shutting down large parts of society that involve people congregating is the operative plan, I'm not thinking that two weeks is going to do it.

And critical thinking skills or not, I believe there are way more moving pieces in play than you believe.
