I'm thinking preschool is out of the question for my daughter. There is no way she will wear a mask all day at school. No playgrounds or assemblies, no hot lunches. Kids eat in classrooms, sit 6ft apart from one another. I mean the list goes on and on for the new CDC Guidlines. 🤦♀️ This will just give her a negative experience of what school is like when it wasn't always like this. I pray it doesnt stay like this forever. Otherwise homeschooling is a possibility.

Preschools won’t be able to enforce masks. The teachers will spend all day trying to get kids to keep them on. I’m looking at a summer preschool for both my kids and I talked to the director yesterday and she did not say anything about kids wearing masks. And they have a big playground outside that all the kids play on. Toddlers need to run around. You should call the schools and ask them. It’s highly unlikely anyone will be following all of these. They’re just guidelines, not requirements
These are just ideas for schools to consider. I agree, it is all completely ridiculous and I’m considering home schooling when my son is older, but for other reasons as well. But these might not apply to the schools, not every idea will be taken.
The CDC hasn’t posted anything official I can find yet, but I keep seeing these lists compiled that others post. Instead of saying my son can’t or won’t do it, we have been working on mask wearing, hand washing, using hand sanitizer etc to get ready for whatever is coming. He doesn’t protest wearing the mask and can handle it for hours at a time no problem. He washes his hands every hour because he sets a timer. He knows we use hand sanitizer before we get in the car and into the doctors office. It’s been all about practice and while it’s not the easiest, it’s possible. If doctors and nurses and other hospital staff can treat everyone while wearing a mask, so can these kids. Pain in the butt, yes absolutely. Is the health and safety risk worth it? To me yes because my son is in special ed and needs that in class time with his specialists. That’s not going to be everyone which is why multiple education options are a beautiful thing. Even I chose non traditional means for K-8
My concern is my son is going to a Montessori. There are smaller class sizes vs traditional, they’ve maxed out at 22 per classroom. There are no desks, lots of raw materials for good visual spatial learning etc. I wonder how they’re going to handle this....
As much as I want to put my youngest in preschool I'm thinking of not either
I don't want her to have a negative view on school
...
So guess I should buy a printer and get my ass started on some homeschooling for her.
Teach her to right her name
Work on some ABCs.
And her counting
Yeah, I cant see all of these rules being possible for schools. If this is real and has to happen, they may as well not reopen the schools.
This is absolutely ridiculous. It’s dangerous for kids to wear a mask all day and not get fresh air, not to mention they’ll be touching it and rubbing their faces all day long. GA is already cutting our education budget 14%, so adding plexiglass dividers and such isn’t going to be in the budget. The bus thing won’t work unless they buy tons of new buses and hire new drivers, again, the budget. No playground time? What kid can sit in a room all day without getting that energy out? Honestly, it sounds like prison and I’ll keep my kids home before I send them into this.
Over here there's talk that there may be more distant learning for the older kids so that the younger ones can use the middle schools and high school. There's also talk about year round schooling, 7 days a week and all sorts of talk. I think I'm just going to home school my almost 3 year old.
This is why we have been thinking of homeschooling for a year and then going back and looking at everything the next year. All schools around here have 30 plus kids in a class and share lockers because theres not enough at the school for everyone to have there own.
We’ve been seriously considering the same.. So many pros and cons to outweigh first. But it’s looking more like the route we’re taking.
@brownsugarluv yeah I figure him going to kindergarten is a big change in itself with out all this maybe and unsure of how to run things with this virus. So I figured homeschool would be more consistent until there is an actual new normal in place and schools actually know what there doing
The only way I can see this working is possibly block scheduling. The guidelines are up for consideration but it’s still a state by state decision. We probably won’t know for sure until July or August.
This isn’t gonna work for any school especially my daughter she will be in 7th grade her school is overcrowded
Is this real ?????
