#013 -- The question of whether schools should reopen for in-person instruction in the fall is top of mind for many people. Parents wonder how they might be able to fully return to work without in-person schooling. Teachers wonder whether they’ll be safe working in a confined spaces within large buildings, surrounded by (oftentimes germy) children. Administrators wonder how to plan in the face of so much uncertainty. And researchers and educational advocates wonder what the long-term impact of remote-teaching will be on the academic achievement of students. If one thing is clear in this whole debate it is that there is no easy answer. Any decision that a school or district makes will be second-guesses, and will leave some key stakeholders deeply unsatisfied. But as July turns to August, and the start of the school is about a month away, decisions need to be made. On this week’s mini-episode, I share my thoughts on how I would approach the decision regarding whether schools should re-open for in-person instruction in the fall.
