Sixteen students to a class. One-way hallways. Students lunch at their desks. Children could get one ball to play with — alone. Masks are required. A staggered school day brings on new schedules to juggle. These campus scenarios could play out based on new Los Angeles County school reopening guidelines released Wednesday. This planning document will affect 2 million students and their families as educators undertake a challenge forced on them by the coronavirus crisis: fundamentally redesigning the traditional school day. The safe reopening of schools in California and throughout the nation compels the reimagining — or abandoning — of long-held traditions

I'm afraid schools are going to try to open under these farcical guidelines.

Charade. Its a figleaf to cover the fact that there never really was a need to close things down. If we went back to normal without the farce of the masks, plexiglas, and tape on the floor, it would be too obvious that it was all unnecessary.

So if there's no social contact and no sports, why not just educate the kids at home? Yeah, I know--free daycare.

Apparently these educrats actually believed that the CDC guidelines for school openings were serious proposals. What morons!

L.A. schools sound an awful lot like prisons. Good thing Democrats are in charge.

They are talking 25% of the students in class and the other 75% at home/live streaming classes in my S. Louisiana Parish. It will be interesting to see what happens when the names of the chosen in-class students are announced. They still plan on feeding them all, breakfast and lunch though. People who make these decisions are really to stupid to be educators. I think Poster #2 nails it.

Of course they will, #1- These are the people who indoctrinated their parents with global warming, gender expansion, pointed index finger guns and always having to say you're sorry.

This is more control and destruction by government schools to increase indoctrination of the children.

No. This is absurd, and unnecessary. Reopen the schools. There has been no cases of people in this age group getting the virus. California is run by idiots, and has been for decades. A beautiful state destroyed by the Democrats.

Communists, fascists and socialists (aka leftards) are always about 'stark rules'.

Since we're talking LA schools, at least no Americans will have their rights abridged.

The mortality rate of this virus for healthy school aged children has been proven to be significantly LESS than from the flu. Since they only care about what the CDC says... you can find that in the CDC numbers for yourself, they just don't want to talk about it.

For a party who always claims to be “for the children,” dems sure love grinding these kids into the dirt.

The kids will be properly trained to be state enforcers.

One way aisles in the grocery store are ignored. Should be the same in schools, although the school can have hall monitors yelling at kids.

Perhaps #14, or, they will be properly trained to be herded into concentration camps. My local Walmart has roped off/fenced in the entrance sort of like a long hallway down the sidewalk. People are supposed to line up and "social distance" while entering the store. It reminds me of the chutes that herd cows in to be slaughtered. I shop early and there is never anyone in line, I step over the police tape and head directly in the door. They have a guard outside, I tell the guard that it's ridiculous for me to walk all the way down to where the chute starts and then all the way back when there is nobody around. I don't think we should be so compliant, I'm certainly not going along with it.

As with the TSA at airports where terrorists can easily sneak guns past but normal passengers still have to endure tedious and intrusive inspections, these virtue signalling measures at schools will do little or nothing to prevent spread of China virus, but will be enforced with Draconian fervor.

when we made our two trips to Moscow, Russia in 1996, we stayed with a Russian family.
their son was in high school, and had classes on second shift - first shift was 8-3pm, second shift 3-11 pm at the local high school.
Something to think about for the Kung Flu problem.
(Governor Jared Polis, Colorado, was interviewed last week, and made more sense than anyone on school reopening. His main points - Kung Flu is not terrible for most children, most children at school are exposed to all sorts of germs. children are tough, resilient. those children who choose on line schooling reduce crowding of schools.)

I agree, #9. I’m from the hardest hit county in the second hardest hit state. New Jersey’s schools were closed on March 18. The sports season for sweaty, contact boys’ and girls’s basketball and even sweatier and even greater contact wrestling finished in the second week of March just before the schools closed. Haven’t heard a word about a single Bergen County high school athlete having come down with WuFlu (and, if one had, I’m sure that my local paper, which has been living on feeding the panic and fear, would have placed the story on the front page). BTW, anyone hear about any NCAA basketball players or wrestlers with WuFlu? I haven’t.
