"Reasonable" is "harmful"? Heaven forbid people be reasonable. We must keep this from the serfs lest they gain literacy and threaten the landed gentry!

Kids need to go back to school.No RNC convention because it's not safe to do but a push to have kids back in school
Many would not agree including teachers.

There should be an option...either send your kids to school or keep them at home for virtual learning....most kids cannot, successfully, do virtual.
Many teachers are in the comorbidity demographic.
Who's going to be left teaching the children by the end of the semester?

I had to look up comorbidity.

How do kids do with substitutes for a few weeks? That’s assuming there are substitutes available.

Weeks? I never had a substitute for more than a day or two.

Many people find themselves ill with COVID-19 for weeks. The recommendation for self-isolation is 14 days.

In that regard, yes. I thought you meant in years past.

Well, kids are going to have a lot of substitutes for a lot longer if we aren't careful. More than a third of teachers are vulnerable to covid, so they may be out of the teaching pool to begin with. We will start to see outbreaks among the teachers who do start the year in-person. As that happens, other teachers will begin to balk in greater and greater numbers. The demand for substitutes, many of whom will themselves be unwilling to work due to comorbidities, will outpace supply. Schools will close due to these factors or due to uncontrolled outbreaks.
Schools do need to be open as soon as possible. But that requires planning many regions aren't willing to do, and that we aren't doing on a nation-wide level. It also probably required us to make some sacrifices - like opening up more cautiously, wearing masks more uniformly, and not opening theme parks - we weren't willing to make. You can't just yell, "OK, Schools open now."

You know what's funny?
Unfounded fear if we are following the science that I’m always told is important. But if some want to pick and choose which science to follow...
Teachers should become private and charge an hourly rate for homeschooling. They can make twice the money and the students get a much better education.

You never had a teacher go on maternity leave?
I've also had classes where the teacher left early, to take classes at the local university toward their masters. So a couple of days a week our afternoon class, had substitutes. It was pretty funny, when it happened in our 3rd/4th year Spanish, right before for the AP test. The substitute reported that we were awful, wouldn't speak in English and only in Spanish to each other. The rest of the semester, the principal subbed for our class while the other afternoon class had a "regular" sub. The principal quickly figured out he only needed to be in the room for attendance, and then would go back to his office.
Are you saying that private education is worse than public?
