      One of the biggest issues that few people are taking seriously about the school problem is space. Making sure each kid can have at least 3 feet of space (the CT standard) around them in all directions is going to be hard, if not impossible, in most schools, public or private.

      High schools should all be cancelled and turned into remote learning plus field trips to parks (to socialize). The space in high schools should be given to kids in grades 1-7/8 with more room for everyone. Would have to hire extra teachers but that's doable.

          University buildings are empty. Many cities have them. Use these classrooms for schoolkids.

          how is it doable without massive resource infusion from the FEDs? all the states who allowed there governments to become totally dependent upon Sales taxes are unable to respond adequately to this crisis...without a drastic altering of Federal policy this is a disaster

          Hey Jeet. How do you remedy your belief that being comes before consciousness with your high talk of Hegel? Becoming more and more curious as I’ve been going through the phenomenology.

          Yep. If only we had some sort of organization that could provide funding and coordination for a large scale societal program like this...

          For elementary schools, half day in class, plus couple hours for the older ones of online learning/homework. Separate cohorts for morning and afternoon classes, cleaning in between.

          I have made this suggestion to people in my district. I’m sure there will be crickets in response.
