@one1ofeach Well, IMHO I don’t think it’s a matter of doing it rightly or wrongly. It’s partially a matter of how much Covid is in that area and did/does one student./staff member get it. We’ve had a handful of cases at BS but it was stopped immediately within the community due to how the program was set up. Very thoughtful with multiple plan B’s. Still, it’s partially luck, again IMO.
If the school has a large number of day students, the kids can be doing everything to isolate and a parent in a high contact job ( doctor, nurse, police, EMT) can spread it unwillingly. O, something comes from outside the staff/kids. For example, in our school there was a cleaner/staff member who got it. Pretty impossible to protect 100%. And schools like Groton which are in low density areas are in a better situation than a school like Milton which is high density and 1/2 day. And some states have been hit harder. All factors.
I feel for your son/daughter who is an athlete. One of my kids and I were just talking about this today. My kid stopped Club level athletics in one sport about 6 months before Covid. Just too many other activities. If that was his/her “thing” that would have made the path to college very complex. Many kids will lose out on all sort of opportunities as a result of this pandemic. I’m just hoping the vaccine will start to roll out soon.
