Some reading on school reopening for my fellow obsessives:
1. @SarahCohodes argues that younger children should get priority for in-person learning. I'm thinking a lot about kids in K-2 who were just learning to read before schools closed https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/better-fall-possible/613882/

2. This from @juliettekayyem on why schools haven't been a priority for reopening, even though our entire economy hinges on parents being able to send their kids to school: education is not considered an essential sector in America. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/reopening-bars-easy-schools-are-difficult/613861/?utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_term=2020-07-06T11%3A30%3A33
3. From me on the unique challenges NYC faces on the path to reopening its 1,800 schools. Politics, logistics, our recent history with the virus are all complicating what was already going to be a herculean task. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/nyregion/nyc-school-reopening-plan.html
4. The medical case for reopening from @SudhirAmita ( https://slate.com/technology/2020/07/school-reopening-medical-case.html) and the American Academy of Pediatrics, via this @DanaGoldstein piece: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/30/us/coronavirus-schools-reopening-guidelines-aap.html
And 5. our story about the national picture - it is clear that in many places school will look nothing like normal this fall. Figuring out how to make staggered schedules work is going to be a huge focus of the next 2 months. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/coronavirus-schools-reopen-fall.html
