"So.. is school OUT completely, or are parents teaching their kids on-line and at-home?"

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.

‘I’m relieved that I’m not trying to create educational experiences that replace chemistry and biology labs.’

I’m quite sure you are...

‘I also think we’ve seen the last of snow days.’

based on this past winter we’ve seen the last of snow...(wishful thinking; I’ve come to hate winter...)
