What are schools doing?

[Pam]

My sympathies to everyone in this situation: parents, administrators, teachers, etc. All "solutions" are basically inadequate and guarantee pretty much everyone involved will be unhappy. Everyone needs to be tolerant, patient, and have some faith that people are trying their best (except the kids! Making sure they try their best might take a little persuasion!)

Quick and cheap testing would completely be a game changer, and I've read articles that these types of tests might be in the works- something that could be used in schools twice a week or so. It's going to take something like this, in the absence of an effective treatment or vaccine, to make school close to normal again. Otherwise, we're looking at pretty much constant disruption as shutdowns occur, etc, if what's happening in other parts of the country already are any indication. People in the community need to be really smart and cautious as well, and stop equating adherence to important public health measures as loss of freedom. A virus in our midst threatens our freedoms!

U.S. District Court Judge James C. Dever said unequivocally that “There is no pandemic exception to the Constitution of the United States or the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.”

Once we give up freedom and constitutional rights, they’re gone forever.
