My kids' school district sent out a survey about reopening plans. One of the questions was, would you allow your student to ride the bus if occupancy was limited to two students per seat? Oh, that'll help! Apparently three kids per seat is standard, my kids have complained about having to sit on the floor before.
I can tell you guys right now that nobody in high school is gonna maintain social distancing. You might get maybe half the school to wear masks if it’s optional, but there are gonna be too many kids walking around for it to matter. And some of them are going to take the masks off occasionally cause they get sweaty, want to talk clearly, their ears hurt from the straps, etc.
I’m so glad I’m in college so I don’t have to deal with this.
Yesterday I watched in silent horror as my soon-to-be 2nd grader sneezed on a bowl of grapes while digging in her ass crack then rubbed her eyes in a span of 20 seconds. Then when I told her she needed to wash her hands and why, she set the grapes down, which her older brother (10) immediately reached for and almost started eating. If I send them back to school, they are 100% bringing Covid home.
