Colleges Are Deluding Themselves

There will be outbreaks on college campuses, that is one of things we are certain about for Fall.

I wonder if the author feels the same about opening K-12 schools? I have said this on other threads, but I am more concerned about S21 in a HS where 3500 students and staff are in one building every day for 7-8 hours than I am for D19 at her LAC.

Those 3500 students and staff will share germs indoors for 7-8 hours, then go home to their parents, siblings, SOs, kids, etc…share/exchange germs with those people, many of whom had multiple exposures during their days…then return to the HS the next day. Rinse and repeat.

The moral and legal responsibility of Government for K-12 children and college students are very different .

You can tell a middle class, intelligent 18 year old who has their own computer with good internet access and a safe home environment, to stay in their parents home and study on line and be reasonably safe in the knowledge that they will be ok.

A low Socio - economic 5 year old in an unstable home is in a very different situation. Providing them with in person schooling is unequivocally mandatory.

There is a difference between providing a luxury experience and a service of social need.
