Less than 1% is exploding?

I mean, I'm not an expert, but... yes? 0.23% of 1.1 million students is 2530 people, and if they all spread it to more than one person, then that seems explosive. Don't know what the solution is, but calling 0.23% a small number seems wrong

I just see it as the good outweighing the bad

all due respect, this is such a weird take. I completely hear the pain parents are having with issues of childcare, but the response just cycles through opening/closing schools. can't we be smarter about this? get community ordinances to pod up, have small groups of students 1/x

attend virtual school from volunteer parents' homes or something, and incentivize people to do this in some way (ideally by, i dunno, giving them money if they do?)

Virtual school does not work as a long term solution. Sorry, it doesn’t. Ask almost every kid enrolled in it, they will tell you it isn’t the same learning experience.

of course not, but neither does constantly opening schools before being ready to properly combat the virus, then inevitably shutting down. that sort of inconsistency is bad for everyone involved.
