There will definitely be young kids home alone this year (or with slightly older siblings watching them). Not everyone can afford childcare, afterschool programs, or tutors. Many may rely on older grandparents. Scary times.
True but how any kids were home alone in the 70’s and 80’s as young as kindergarten and no one questioned that? I get that they will have to do school work so it will be different though.
I do not remember being left home alone for an entire day in kindergarten (or elementary school for that matter). Maybe middle school, but certainly not before, even in the 80s. Furthermore, this is for multiple days a week (not just a random holiday). I think parents will be forced to do this - all over the country.

This is not the 70s and much of what was done back then you could be arrested for today. Leaving the kids in the car while you shop is one example. What was okay back then will get you a charge of endangering the welfare of a child today...

True but parents coddle kids too much now. I am guilty of my teen at times too but I think parents in the 80’s were more lax from what I hear now. Yes there is social media but parents now have made it too easy for kids.

I don’t think it’s realistic to expect the majority of kids to be able to sit home and be disciplined enough to log on and remote learn. It’s not ok, just because it was done in the 70s & 80s. There was a lot more drugs use during that era as well.

Re: School district plans....education inequality?
Experts are calling for another shutdown. School openings in many places are looking more and more like they will harm and kill many because of how rampant people allowed the virus to get. And we know that the virus has taken its heaviest toll on minority populations.
Plus, as more and more people get the virus, more and more are reporting on the way in which it can devastate and permanently harm young and healthy people. We shall see if schools actually open up....

Re: School district plans....education inequality?
What is going on in other regions isn't the same as what is going on here, on Long Island. Our current infection rate is 1% of those tested, being positive. So 99 percent of the people tested are negative. I urge you all to read the numbers daily. So what is going on in the rest of the country really has no bearing on what is going on *here* right now. We were in the same boat as all of them several months ago, remember? With strict protocols, it was managed, is still being managed effectively, and we are now at the point where school can be opened. I think NYS has a good handle on basic hygiene now, and people are washing their hands, etc. Hopefully that carries over into the fall when school starts. Hopefully with schools actually allowing kids to wash hands, cleaning desks with clorox, allowing sanitizer (these things were not openly allowed before), illness will be less frequent. Illness of ANY kind.

We get it but how long will it last for? Its putting too much faith into people keeping up. I'm all for opening schools but I have very little faith in society continuing to do what they need to in order to keep infection rates low. We see it happening already. Packed out places, people getting together before stay at home orders was even removed, etc. Once schools open people will become more relaxed and peoples guards will come down.

Using that logic we can never open schools then. Or anything for that matter.

Schools themselves are under strict mandates on what and what not to do. The schools themselves will not be lax until the mandates are lifted. Of course that will not help what people do at home, but hopefully by cleaning, social distancing or mask wearing it should be contained pretty well.

Again, I am not against schools repening but this belief that people have all of a sudden learned how to keep themselves clean and sanitize these last few months is laughable. People can't even keep a mask on properly without complaining about it. Give it a few months and people will return to back to how they were.
We all know that just because mandates are put out there they are not always followed.

But, even with people being "lax" right now, the numbers are still low. Extremely low. There was no 4th of July spike like everyone said there would be etc.

Re: School district plans....education inequality?
Believe me, I wish NY were cordoned off from other places enough to make a resurgence unlikely. I love my kids' school, and I work. They will be missing out bigtime on beautiful experiences they should have.
But a look at Europe and other states that seemed to have things under control and underwent new levels of reopening, like schools will be in NY, shows how the backsliding happens.
All it takes for a school to erupt is one or a few families in denial about a kid having a slight sore throat or sniffle, or just sending the kid anyway and hoping for the best...or ignoring a quarantine order they get after an outside exposure because "she's fine." And all it takes for ny to wind up back in April is a few school eruptions, combined with cold weather, flu season, etc.
It pains me, but I can't imagine that unless something big changes, we will return to school. I also believe that places that do return will be, by necessity, uncomfortable and stressful for the children, and likely to shut down.
This is my opinion. Unless Long Island imposes some crazy travel restrictions, it will not stay where it is now if schools reopen. Barring, of course, some gamechanger in terms of testing, vaccines, or treatments.

There will definitely be young kids home alone this year (or with slightly older siblings watching them). Not everyone can afford childcare, afterschool programs, or tutors. Many may rely on older grandparents. Scary times.
True but how any kids were home alone in the 70’s and 80’s as young as kindergarten and no one questioned that? I get that they will have to do school work so it will be different though.
I don’t think it’s realistic to expect the majority of kids to be able to sit home and be disciplined enough to log on and remote learn. It’s not ok, just because it was done in the 70s & 80s. There was a lot more drugs use during that era as well.
No I don’t think it is realistic either.
I would have to say there is a lot of drug use now, especially adding in vaping with younger kids. So many teens are drinking and doing drugs now. Not sure if the comparison from the 70’s and 80’s but don’t think it is any less if not more.

School district plans....education inequality?
I noticed that the meetings that are being held to discuss re-opening and the open forums where parents can ask questions are all being held virtually. So out of an abundance of concern and due to what some call current restrictions, all the decision makers can be safe and call in using Zoom, but let’s send the kids back in a matter of weeks.

I believe on of the protocols is to take temperatures (even go through scanners) before they enter in the schools. That will prevent a lot of this, and also hopefully make the parent second think sending a sick child to school.

I believe on of the protocols is to take temperatures (even go through scanners) before they enter in the schools. That will prevent a lot of this, and also hopefully make the parent second think sending a sick child to school.
Nah, they load them up on motrin so the fever isn't detectable until after lunch. This is why instilling in your own kids that proper hand washing, sanitizing, not touching your eyes ones or mouth, is super important. But, I would hope that after seeing an outbreak like this, parents will forgo doing that now. Who knows!

All it takes for a school to erupt is one or a few families in denial about a kid having a slight sore throat or sniffle, or just sending the kid anyway and hoping for the best...or ignoring a quarantine order they get after an outside exposure because "she's fine." And all it takes for ny to wind up back in April is a few school eruptions, combined with cold weather, flu season, etc.

This, plus people are contagious both before any symptoms are visible and after slight symptoms are starting, like a sore throat, etc., but before a fever. Plus, some people are sick with covid and have no fever.
