Look at Italy. Coronavirus is deadly serious. It’s exploding in America, and Escambia County has its own coronavirus population already starting. Community centers and libraries are used for community gathering. Our community leaders need to look at the big picture and temporarily close all community centers and libraries in Escambia County instead of drawing even more people to them at such a critical time.

The lives of the lunch room workers and their families are just as important as everyone else’s.. I can guarantee the superintendent will not be handing them out..

(cleaned) Write a story together. Teach them cursive. How to cook and measure. balance a check book. Sing songs. Memorize Bible verses poetry It took them 100 years to get the internet after the spanish flu. Teach then biology by washing and sanitizing thing and botany by planting a seed.

It took them 100 years to get the internet after the spanish flu.

Teach then biology by washing and sanitizing thing and botany by planting a seed.

PE by scrubbing the house.

Wax on Wax off–the car.

Some parents may choose for their kids not to risk the exposure in that way. They don't want adults mingling with each other but will put multiple children in a library. Something wrong with that line of thinking. Isn’t that more than 10 in one area? Some parents may choose for their kids not to risk the exposure in that way.

Cox and the rest of the companies could turn it on certain times during the day. Or just give free access until this crisis is over. I'm not taking my child to no library or center. Probably more germs there than at her school. Make DVD's of the lesson plans and send to the kids that don't have internet. Has to be a better way. You going to give gas money? What if they don't have a ride? Then what if they don't have a tablet or computer? Anyone with extras could donate to a child in need. Set up big screen projectors like a drive in movie and everyone stay in their car. They could give their answers on a tablet. We had better start thinking of a better plan or we will be stuck with this one. Give homes free internet. Cox and the rest of the companies could turn it on certain times during the day.

That is just putting my kids at risk. If you are willing to put kids at risk like that then you should just open the schools back up and put 2 or 3 students in a class room that would be safer but, even then I would not be sending my kids out of the house for any reason. We are self quarantine! What is the Escambia County school Board going to do if the governor says to shelter in place ? You need to come up with a better idea. The most northern part of the county doesn’t have adequate service providers. It’s not about being able to afford for us it’s that we don’t have any options.
