A key moment in this v good @emilybazelon roundtable about remote learning: Denver schools chief says they'll start offering child care for K-5 students, and @nhannahjones asks: "Why child care providers or paraprofessionals instead of teachers teaching?" https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/11/magazine/covid-school-reopenings.html
More: "The science doesn’t change based on whether you have a childcare provider or a teacher in the building. If we’re saying we don’t know enough for teachers to come back in classrooms but we know enough for low-wage child care workers to come back in—I don’t understand that."
Denver schools chief @susancdenver answers, "Yes, it’s a crazy world when we’re saying it’s not safe for teachers but people who make $15-$20/hr can come back. I’ve said to my teachers [and] my school board, 'I don’t want to be the leader of an organization that believes that.'”
And here are some nuggets from children.
And here are some pictures of kids actually in school around the country, which is happening in more places than I think many realize. Needville TX (photo by Eli Durst):
