Teach and Create during the Pandemic... thinking

Yesterday President Trump and Secretary of Education DeVos got on the "schools must open" kick. Now the news runs with the ideas of how to open schools. The good thing is that maybe someone not in education can solve our impossible problem. Need social distancing, some kids need home instruction via internet, some teachers can't be in classrooms, some content doesn't work well online, small children NEED socialization, teenagers is all about social world.

I think we need to utilize parks, stadiums, parking lots with circus like tents (cirque de sole) so we can do social emotional teaching in social outdoor settings and then do more academic work online or virtually. Tap the companies that have done virtual work and find out what works and what doesn't. Jeff has worked with people in Lithuania for years and only been together IRL a few times maybe 14 days total. How do they get that to work? How are they productive together? We need to look outside of the education world to solve this problem.

Where are the think tanks? I need to be on one of them. Look here from 2015 an article to work apart.
