Hello, everybody. This is your favorite coach, coach Jeffrey, and I am going to use this nice little app called Swell to conduct a little bit of business. I am going to call this rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, rush it or flush it starting. You feel about starting school? Should we rush it, rush. It means that we'll go back open arms and hugs and love or flush it. That means pretty much what flush it means

Hey, can I answer this as a question that might affect other people's answers? I guess my question is the Russian part that you mentioned with the hugs and love. Is there a middle ground? Is there a possible third option? And if so, is it really forcible which is go back to school, but lots of rules of separation and masks and cleaning. Or does that defeat the purpose of socializing and being back in a real school environment?

I would rather rush that because I think there are safe ways to do some of these extracurricular activities, and I would like to rush that as far as going in back to the school, I'm a little bit like with Deborah, where I say, okay, let's back up. Is there a way that we can do ten kids at a time instead of 30 kids in a classroom? Maybe they Meyer three times a week instead of all at once

In an ideal world, I would like to cautiously rush it where our kids do end up going back to school but are very aware of the circumstances. They are taking appropriate precautions of wearing masks, keeping their distance. I think until we have a better solution to this virus, we are going to have to change our lifestyles and just move on with it

If the students are all 6ft apart facing one direction, I don't know how that's an improvement over online learning, at least in the online learning we're seeing each other's faces. There's a real sense of safety. I don't know that we can achieve that if we're following the guidelines that have been laid out. I think that teachers are going to feel that concern too

It breaks my heart to say this, but unless schools can open it as was before the virus occurred, I don't believe that the school systems will be able to figure out the logistics of what has to be in order to keep the the kids safe. The school is safe. The environment is safe and still teach. It's going to be a nightmare

So what choice would a single parent who has to, you know, be out in the field for work and cannot work remote? What choice will that single parent have? If, if it's home schooling schools also are daycare systems, and if they don't provide that daycare, how does the parent provide for the child? How does the parent ensure that because the benefits that the government gives might not be sufficient in all cases to continue with the same lifestyle that they were enjoying prepandamaking?

Hey, just tying in some new conversations about this conversation. So those of you who are following this conversation about school openings, check out this new conversation by Opai Radio. Hopefully, it will engage you and we'll continue the convo. Thanks. Yeah

The only thing worse than graduating during coronavirus is starting during coronavirus. So
Hey, Coach Jeffrey So, it's been about 14 days since you posted your swell and the Los Angeles Unified School District just announced that they will not be returning to campus this fall. And once said to distance learning, I think that that was a tremendously smart move from the school district. Austin Buttner has a history of not necessarily making the right call when it comes to protecting the teachers and their interests
