Monday’s “Must Read” Articles About School Reopening Plans For The Fall

 

Every day, a new school district in Northern California is announcing they are going to full remote teaching in the fall.

I suspect that similar announcements will be happening in other states, including Florida.

It’s still unclear what’s going to happen in Sacramento.  I’ve previously shared my own ideas about what I think would be good to happen (see FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH, HERE’S MY THINKING RIGHT NOW ABOUT REOPENING SCHOOLS). I think it’s more likely will end up going full remote and, if we don’t start that way, or do a modified version like I write about in that post, we soon will end up that way (see I’M ORDINARILY A “GLASS HALF FULL” KIND OF PERSON, BUT NOT FOR THIS FALL – HERE’S MY PESSIMISTIC FORECAST).

Here are the articles about school reopening that I think are worth reading, and that I’m adding to THE BEST POSTS PREDICTING WHAT SCHOOLS WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE FALL:
