I have a lot of concerns that this will lead to the demise of public schools in America. Locally, registrations for private schools have increased over 100% from past years. I have a co-worker right now who is meeting on Thursday with a private school for her two elementary-school aged children. It was either that, or she would have to quit her job to stay home with them when school "resumes" next month.

And she won't be the only person in that situation. Many parents are going to have to quit their jobs to stay home with their children in the absence of school. I haven't spoken to one person who believes this is a "one and done" type incident. Many people i know have serious doubts that school ever returns to "normal".

And with distance learning, there is no question that the children from poorer families suffer with the experience. I can't believe people would even argue against that. And not to mention that for those poor families, school is the only place many children get a meal each day. It's sad.

What is also sad, is that America does not have a "Plan B" if these vaccine efforts fail, other than lock down again for good, permanently close schools, permanently close factories and businesses, etc..
