One student per seat? The school bus is packed on the way home. How many times around the neighborhood do they have to go? How many hours is this going to take? And it's not like they have unused buses just sitting around to use...

Until you can figure out the bus problem - the kids aren't going back to school (or no more than once or twice a week at most). And that's true nationwide.

Or the radius of no bus service expands. In Arlington Virginia it’s something like if you are within one mile, then you don’t qualify for the bus.

there aren't enough classrooms or teachers for that matter. Our school system has said that classes will have to be capped at 16-18 students. I've worked in education for more that 10 years and have never had a class with only 16 students. It's a logistical nightmare.

As a quick fix, we are splitting classes, but that's just bad pedagogy--the half of the class that has a sub...has a sub.

We are working on creating bigger spaces so that we won't have to split classes when we come back in August. But we have to get through the end of this year first.

As for buses--everyone is masked up the whole time. Seems to work.

That might solve some bus problems - but capacity on the bus here is greater than 100%. You can't do six feet distancing at even 50%.

All of the solutions we have come up with are not perfect, but we are getting there. It's just an exercise in squaring the circle.
