Have y’all’s school system announced the plan for school this year?

Oxford is going to 50% of he kids will go mon/wed and 1st and 3rd Friday. The other 50% will go tues/thurs and the 2nd and 4th Friday. They can also choose to stay at home and do online only school.

I don’t see this working out well......

Thats different...i briefly read over ours and its basically as usual with some precautions but u can stay home and do it and they'll provide cromebooks...I'm sending mine to school...

Me and wife are going to home school my elementary boy. My girls are in high school and will go back. I have faith they can do the distancing. I don’t trust The elementary kids being able to do the things needed.

I'm in Gulfport, MS. Son goes to Catholic school. As of now, they've made changes to make sure each grade / class doesn't mingle with anyone else.....multiple lunch periods, recess times, pickup and drop off areas scattered all over campus. School scheduled to start on August 6th. I assume this is subject to change.

Our school system is going to school like normal.

Our schools are discussing social distancing, mask if they can't, no play grounds, limited days in ther lunch room, and possibly plexiglas between students. We have a second grader and decided to homeschool this year. Wasn't too worried about the virus, but we didn't want to send our kid to a school structured like a mini prison. Thank the lord above we're in a situation to be able to do it.

Dang.

Mine are in private schools. There is some new protocols and preventive measures but overall I don’t think it will be a whole lot different. My wife and I both work full time. We don’t have an option to home school, but don’t think we would even if it was an option.

We are going back to homeschooling most likely.

We looked at a very similar plan. A group goes Monday and Tuesday, with remote learning rest of the week for enrichment.
B group goes Thursday and Friday, with remote learning on M-Wednesday for enrichment.

This gives us an opportunity to clean and disinfect the school on Wednesday and Saturday when no students are present. I liked this option the best of all the choices we looked at. We dropped this plan and opted to do traditional school Monday thru Friday. I don't think this will work long until a case is confirmed and students are exposed to the carrier. If we have a case confirmed in the school, all students and staff exposed will quarantine for 14 days and be tested before returning to school. The students in quarantine will automatically do remote learning until they return. This is subject to change any minute.

They should open up the schools wide open to the healthy students as normal and the ones that have impaired immunities should be separated out. These kids are mingling with others as it is. Pool parties, birthday parties and family get togethers, lake and beach outings. It doesn’t matter if it’s your father, mother, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, friend or stranger. There’s no one out there that is completely sterile and protected from it. Open your eyes.

They should, but how can you say the sky is falling on one hand and on the other say open schools up. They are painted into a corner. Something has to give, and I would put my money on a lot less students in school than what is being talked about at this point. The sky is falling crowd is pretty deeply dug in. I do know a lot of kids in this area are homeschooling this year.

That alternating days nonsense is hard on working folks. Just more interruption in getting people back to work and normal routines.

Quaintine for 14 days, hows that gonna work? If my kid goes to school with a kid that had japflu then comes home is my whole familly supposed to sit in the house for 14 days? Am i not gonna get to go to work for 14 days because my kid was in a classroom with a kid that got it? How are people supposed to keep a job? Is it just me or is all this crap, as it looks to me this virus is never going anywhere it will always be here, it has been here, you cant make me believe that this virus just come from wuhan and has never been in the U.S before now, yes it has killed some people, yes it is bad on some folks but our way of life cant be changed because of it, just like wearing a seatbelt didnt stop people in car crashes from dying it still happens, we cant live life in our house with a mask forever, blount county schools are only going tuesday/friday monday is gonna be a day for teachers to prepare online stuff for kids who are staying home, its all crap

.02% is the death rate so far in alabama, thats hardly anything to shut the world down over

Nothing will be "normal" again. This idea that we will "return to normal" is a pipe dream, at least for another year.

How will y'all handle things like football practice and band practice, things with groups or teams that require or have daily practices?

Yep. Go to school if you want or distanced learning if you want. No masks required

Think they are gonna change up lunch time so they don’t cram all the kids in lunch room

How are they making that possible?

So are they going to give you enough taxes for you to pay for child care the other days?

Dang right we are. At some point common sense has to prevail.
