Yes, places where people stay moving and are rarely next to each other for long periods of time (theoretically) should advise schools how to have people next to each other for 40-45 minutes at a time. A can't miss idea. While perhaps the comparison is a bit too facile, I do think there’s something to be said for the fact that many businesses were able to plan for and adjust for this better than government has been. They of course have different goals and face different constraints, so not in anyway directly comparable, but I think it’s still fair to ask whether the public sector could learn from private at all. There was article about how H.E.B. had been working on pandemic plan since 2005 and focused on this particular emergency since second week of January. Were many governments or school districts demonstrating that level of foresight? Exactly its about planning and starts with goal of reopening and what needs to be done to make that happen. So far public institutions are starting with the negative of what might happen instead of what should be done to open. |

So far public institutions are starting with the negative of what might happen instead of what should be done to open. Please stop reminding us why it is such a good thing you are gone from SJ.com. You haven't made any sense on this thread. You aren't even trying, but now you want to latch on to someone else's coherent point as if it somehow justifies your idiocy. You can't walk into the school in groups of five or six, grab your education off the shelves and leave within a half hour, so the Costco model doesn't really work for schools., Hospitals isolate patients as best they can. They don't have large groups of them coming in, spending the day together, going home and doing it all again the next day. Again, it's not a model that works for schools. Are there some practices that can be applied? Of course. But the basic functions are completely different. If you want to troll the thread, fine. If you want to have a serious discussion, even better. Don't do the former and try to act like you are doing the latter. |

Were many governments or school districts demonstrating that level of foresight? There is no question schools were caught unprepared and they should be better in the fall. I am definitely concerned that there don't seem to be many plans in place yet. I'm sure there are internal discussions going on, but the clock is ticking. One problem is schools not knowing what kind of budget they will be working with in the fall. I'm not sure about other states, but New York public school districts still have to vote on their individual budgets. Those were pushed back a month into June by Gov. Cuomo. I get the thinking, that they hoped to allow voting in person, but the decision to hold those votes by mail could have been made sooner. |

In CT budgets are already set for 20/21. Unless there is Federal aid money schools will have to make do.
Doubtful there are plans in place locally because school systems are at mercy of state education system to dictate.
State level in pocket of teachers union so assume that decisions will be made not in best interests of the students.

Whitman mocking someone for taking something too seriously. Sometimes this place uncovers a gem that the other place just can't match. Hey, it ain’t youth baseball, running, or bourbon. |
