I have a relative that is a Principal in Columbus. They have been told that it is not expected that school will resume as usual. There will be many restrictions, but that it will be a District decision as to how to make it work. Most likely kids will not be going 5 days a week. Some sort of staggered system. No more than 12 kids on a bus at a time. (That seems like a big obstacle) There is going to have to be a lot more planning by each district as to how to make it happen. What happens if Districts just decide not to have sports, or, just decide they aren't fielding a football team this year. Everything has to be rescheduled. A lot of AD's and administrators are going to have to do a lot more work than they are used to.
My daughter lives in North Carolina. They have issues with things opening and then two weeks later having to be shut down again. Seems like some people can abide by a lock down order, but can't seem to follow rules that just place limits on things. Open restaurants and bars at 50% and they get filled up to 150%.
How does a school system have restrictions on kids going to school and being in classrooms, but allow kids to practice sports everyday? How can you not bus high school kids to and from school, but bus 80 kids to a football game? What if it's decided that a School can figure out how to make some sports work and not other's? How will parents take that? Is it all going to depend on the State, or will there be Federal regulations? (I doubt it.)
At the beginning of all this, I thought School systems and a lot of people really had their act together. Well planned out and looking out for the best interest of the kids. However, even that transitioned from going above and beyond to just fulfilling obligations. Graduation was an absolute joke for our kids. Health department says people can go to the track and use the track, but since nothing specific was said about pole vault or high jump etc. That all gets put away and those kids can't do any of that. For there to be Cross Country this Fall, it's going to take much more effort than usual, and I'm not confident that everyone will be willing to put in the hard work it's gong to take. They might for some time, but will they from August until November, and Then November - March....etc? I hope, but from what I see everyday, I doubt it.
I had to go to the BMV 3 times this last week. Two very good experiences and one so bad I had to count to ten and just walk back to the car and leave. 3 different BMV locations. Same at the Grocery store and Home Depot. Had to go to Home Depot to pick something up and got just ripped by a husband and wife duo that felt an obligation to yell at me how stupid I was for wearing a mask. (I have to for work, so I try and stay in the habit. Besides, It's the least I can do. Seems polite.) In my face yelling at me. What triggered it was another guy wearing a mask too was making a big effort to try and stay 6 feet away from me. I could see that, so I moved off to the side to give him more room. It also seemed polite. The couple were actually calling us idiots and made a point of yelling in my face how stupid I was. If that's the attitude people are going to take, XC is not going to happen. IMO
