      Clearly the right strategy, and one that any school/pre-school with younger kids should be following. But I still don’t understand what these schools are going to do when November rolls around.https://twitter.com/AlecMacGillis/status/1302970348607078400 …

      Wedding canopies. Appropriate clothes. Fans and space heaters. Most of the US could hold outdoor classes at least 3-4 months in Summer to Fall season. (South starting late to avoid heat and North early to avoid cold.) Profound disservice to children we did not at least try that.

          This is dark, but I'm moved by how many parents have emailed me, concerned about active shooters when you put classes outside.

          👍🏼 invert the school calendar, makes way more sense to have the long break around winter holidays and during the least safe driving weather

          It’s not too late to try. Thank you for staying on it. Let’s identify appropriate outdoor spaces and cover them. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/17/nyregion/coronavirus-nyc-schools-reopening-outdoors.html … There is no bad weather, just bad clothes. And creative approaches to ventilation for essential indoor locations. Open door and windows!

          This is the correct answer. At minimum it would give kids time to establish a bond w/teacher before switching to remote learning in the winter due to weather. Or you could be like my school district and not even allow K students to meet their new teachers outside at a park.
