“All PA Schools Closed for the Rest of the Year: Governor”
Even by my standards that’s overkill. How about planning to open in the fall, rather than January?

It’s a deceptive headline. If you read the story, it says “school year.”
So.. is school OUT completely, or are parents teaching their kids on-line and at-home? Someone brought up a great point the other day - that one small speck of silver lining in all of this is that parents can now SEE the propaganda garbage the leftist “teachers” are feeding our kids, and their eyes are opening. If that’s the case, I can see why the leftist politicians / “teachers” / unions would want to shut down education ENTIRELY rather than interrupt their brainwashing sessions.
Teachers have shifted to emergency remote learning. Quality is mixed, I'm sure. I retired this summer from teaching science in a parochial school. I'm relieved that I'm not trying to create educational experiences that replace chemistry and biology labs. My former colleagues are in that position. I see some parents are doing great stuff with their kids during this time. We are involved with two Scout troops, and we see some excellent home schooling/merit badge work on the part of our kids. Good parents are stepping up and making this time count. I predict an increase in home schooling among some of these families. I also think we've seen the last of snow days. Going forward they'll just switch to remote learning rather than declare snow days.
