Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
How is that different than being in the school building? Seems they should just be at school. They are still riding the bus and still together in a room.
The room where the 30 students will be is very large--probably 5 times the size of a regular classroom so much easier to social distance. Each student will be at a large table by themselves and no closer than 6 feet to other students. There will be a YMCA counselor for every 4 students so much more supervision than a regular classroom. I understand the YMCA has a fleet of busses so that no more than 10 students per bus and in addition to the bus driver two or three counselors will be on each bus to make sure the children wear masks and social distance. So much much safer than regular school. This will only be for those children in need--those who don't have fast internet at home. The vast majority of students will have online classes at their own homes. The decision to go to online learning was made by the school district. Out Church and the YMCA are trying to help out students who otherwise would be left behind.
