      We urgently need to focus on ventilation. Six months into a respiratory pandemic, we're still not given sensible and practical guidance against short-range aerosol—airborne—transmission of COVID. I wrote about the science & what it means we should do now. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/07/why-arent-we-talking-more-about-airborne-transmission/614737/ …pic.twitter.com/3W2NOs85tN

      I appreciate the focus on ventilation. It’s a big concern for every teacher I know when it comes reopening schools. However, while all the classrooms in the elementary school that you visited had windows, it is very common for schools to have multiple windowless classrooms.

      For example, the school where I worked had 7+ windowless classrooms. Also none in the library, nurse’s office, or administrators’ and counselors’ offices. The windows could only tilt open about 2”, with 2 index-card-sized portions with screens that air could actually flow through

      Very true! That should be taken into account. It seems wrong to treat schools as one-size all without addressing ventilation. Places that can open windows/move outdoors can do so; windowless can add HEPA filters, upgrade central filters, high-filtration masks for teachers etc.

      Some places with terrible ventilation and high-community spread may decide not to open, or not to use those rooms! It's exactly why I wrote this piece, hopefully so this can be taken into account to make sure teachers and staff are as safe as possible.

          No classroom teachers I know have been optimistic about the “have class outdoors as much as possible” idea. It’s largely incompatible with a modern K-12 public classroom, especially an inclusion class. (And all classes are inclusion to some extent.)

          I think it’d be better to focus on greatly improving indoor ventilation. Honestly, as someone who taught the smelliest age group (middle schoolers), I’d be strongly in favor of improving classroom ventilation even if it did nothing for public health.
