Socialization is one of the arguments for public schools. No
classroom

generation
of weird people. Or weirder, I should say.

Kids parents and grandparents dying is anti-social too. Bu no, the

absolutely necessary before opening schools.

No, we can't look at Israel, learn what they did, learn what works,

If trump wants to open schools, he need to get testing and tracking
working. The longer he waits, the harder it will be to open anything up
safely.


How do you test and track kids who are in a school with 1000 others
who are in the wild for the other 18 hours a day? Do you really think
a teenager will tell anyone where he actually was all day? That is
particularly true of the most at risk kids.


Good luck with fast, accurate, and cheap testing. That's like the old
engineering joke that has 'pick any two' as the punchline.

There was an article about testing employees. It said the tests ran $100
a pop and the insurance companies were coming up with new, creative ways
to not pay for them. So, you test 50 employees this week for $5,000.
