Countries that opened schools successfully used staggered starts. And they had much lower virus levels.

I appreciate all the feedback, pro and con, that I've received for my point-of-view on a staggered re-opening model. More of it is pro, at this point; but there is some con, too. I do think there is some misunderstanding on one element: I don't want to require anyone to do e-learning. I do want to require a slow, staggered start to in-person learning -- so that it has chance of working. That's what other countries have done. I'm not in charge; but as far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't have to start on e-learning if you don't want. I want to make it available to you; but if I were in charge, you wouldn't have to start anything on any set date. If I were in charge, all stupid and inflexible state requirements from seat time to testing to school grades would have been killed long ago.
