RE: Tenn. High School Football to begin Aug. 21 - can colleges be far behind?

Last week, teachers were told they can pick whether they teach in-person or virtually. SCS has now changed and made all classes virtual.

SHELBY CO., Tenn. (WMC) - Superintendent Dr. Joris M. Ray with Shelby County Schools announced all schools will open virtually on August 31. SCS will remain virtual until further notice.
Ray said more than 80 percent of families who selected a fall learning option requested virtual learning.
SCS leaders said each student will get a digital device. Devices will be distributed the week of August 3 and continue throughout the month of September.
Designated pickup dates and locations for the digital devices will be based on school and grade level.
Each school site will prepare meals for students. Multi-day meal packs will be available for families. Schools will provide families with additional details.
SCS is also identifying local childcare providers, like the YMCA, who offer reduced or no-cost childcare options for essential working families.
Yeah we know.
It's that 80% number he's throwing around that is very puzzling.
I predict you will soon be able to get a good deal on secondary market laptops.
And they are working on meal pickups and childcare options, but not school? What's the COVID difference? They seem to be trying awfully hard not to teach the kids - doing everything but that.
