Schools: "Main Priority"

LA County schools plan unveiled. https://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2020/05/27/under-los-angeles-public-school-reopening-plan-students-must-wear-masks-all-day/amp/ Highlights: • "Our main priority is health and safety,” Debra Duardo, the county, superintendent. •classrooms that are too small to allow students to be spaced six feet apart, there should only be 12 students present at one time. •Students may get only a single ball to play with, by themselves. My take: The main priority of a school is EDUCATING CHILDREN. Yes, with health and safety. But never forget the main mission. It's an absurd plan that sets the LA schools on the path to another year of off site education. Best for a parent in a two parent household to quit a job and find a homeschool curriculum that meets his/her family's own needs. Makeshift, ad hoc distant learning is not something public schools are trained for. But few families can make it on just one income and this leaves single parents stuck. I'm sorry, but to move forward we must abandon the social distancing ideal and rely on the masks to protect one another, which especially makes sense with the population that is least affected by this virus. The regular flu was 8.5 times deadlier for children ages 0-14 than the novel coronavirus this year. (See first three comments) Lots of “sciency” facts about the kids and corona are ignored.
