What is best for kids?

Kids need socialization. Kids need to feel safe. Kids need to play. Kids need to be around other kids. Kids need to have a teacher. Kids need to be in the classroom.  At least that's one side of the argument. Others think it's too dangerous to place kids in the classroom.  It's too dangerous for teachers. It doesn't matter who you ask, the decision of whether or not to send kids back to school, is still up in the air.  Even 20 experts can't agree!

The CDC director wants kids back in school. He thinks that not opening schools will have a dire consequence on kids in the fall.   He, along with many school officials, stress the importance of opening safely and smartly.   The New England Journal of Medicine published an article stating that not opening schools can severely affect some students.  The article properly reports that schools closed in the spring because it was believed that students were the most severely affected by Corona Virus.  Now, the scientific community has discovered that children are the least affected. 

And still...... the question goes unanswered and highly debated.  Some strongely recommend that schools reopen and some use props to demonstrate that teachers' lives will be in danger if school reopens.   Some teachers even stoop to the level of making dramatic posts. Social media posts are filled with images and slogans about the subject.  Some teachers are afraid, some are angry, and some just want to see their kids.    

Who knows how this will end.  I can only hope that I'll end up in the classroom. With my kids. 


I'm getting ready for fall. How about you?
