Assuming the corona virus is a minimal threat by June 1, then it seems prudent to me that schools should start 6 weeks early this year.
July 1 seems like a good day for the kids to go back to school and catch up on their education that was disrupted in March, April, and May.
I know that online classes are happening as a replacement for in-classroom teaching. But even with online classes, the education system was disrupted.
Another advantage of kids going back to school on July 1, is to give the parents a breather from having their kids at home during the day for March, April, and May.
Good luck with getting teachers to spend one day more than they have to in school.
I have 2 grandsons in a private school in CA. Their learning is continuing on line but to be honest I think they are far ahead of their public school friends. My oldest who is a senior is taking advanced statistics, AP calculus and Economics. I’m just so sad that he hasn’t been able to enjoy the remainder of his senior year. Graduation?
My 2 youngest grandsons are in a very good public school in MA. and basically their mother is teaching them. No online studies. My daughter in law says it’s a joke.
