"Many governors, mayors, school boards and superintendents are still debating whether families should continue to have the option of virtual schooling this fall."

Seriously? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/09/us/covid-school-reopening-virtual-learning.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage">https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/0...

Given the near-impossibility of doing hybrid teaching well (at least with the resources most teachers are given), keeping a virtual-schooling option in place in the fall is condemning kids to a much worse learning experience, with no real public-health justification.

If school systems want to set up all-virtual-learning classes (which some had pre-Covid), that& #39;s a potential solution. But the research on all-virtual schools is not reassuring: student/teacher ratios are higher, graduation rates far lower, and achievement often declines.
