In the presentation, Olivia explained that schools were considering having half the class come in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. It would be good to reduce the number of students in a room at one time- but would it really make a difference, seeing as how they're using the same facilities?
That's a good question. I assume they would have to do some sort of sanitization process between groups but that would still put sanitary workers and probably teachers at risk still.
I think they are trying just to lower the amount of people in the room so there can be more space. But my mom speculated about the difficulty of keeping some children to keep from touching each other and keeping their social distance, especially in younger classrooms.
