Yet that has been demonstrated not to be an option.
Have our schools and communities earned the trust to stop the spread without government restrictions?

I mean... The spread slowed in areas with restrictions... So yes?

Are you referring to Lakewood?

New york has persistently had under a 1% positivity rate since May.

The spread slowed in areas that had huge numbers and many deaths

How would you explain that? Second waves are proving there's no herd immunity...

What is the difference? All of the people getting it now would most likely have gotten it then if not for the restrictions.

If the thought was that Lakewood got hit harder than NJ as a whole, what do Lakewood's current circumstances say about what the rest of NJ is about to go through? And if NJ got hit harder than most places in the US... herd immunity will not be a factor for a very long time.

In my son's Brooklyn school, 2 Rebbeim recently tested positive. The 6th grade Rebbe's class was notified and stayed home yesterday. So far so good.

Apparently word didn't get out to much of the 7th grade (the school left it to the Rebbe to call the parents, and more than half the class showed up yesterday. Instead of sending then home to quarantine, the school decided that there's no danger since they're asymptomatic and put them together with the healthy 7th grade, but moved them to a larger beis medrash instead of their normal classroom.

When I heard about this, I was speechless. DW called a parent in the class with the sick Rebbe to ask for more details about when he tested positive, and to my utter dismay, she said that this was the first she was hearing that her son's Rebbe had Covid - even though he tested positive last Thursday!

That means that the boys in that class innocently went to their shuls on Yom Kippur, completely oblivious that their Rebbe had tested positive and they should be home in quarantine instead of in shul where they were quite possibly infecting everyone around them.

And this is after speaking to the principal twice this month to share our concerns and being assured that any class with a positive case will be quarantined, and that all parents will be immediately notified. At this point our trust in the hanhala is 0.

I'm realistic and don't expect our mosdos to do everything exactly as spelled out by DOH and DOE, but how is this okay, and why isn't a school that's actively endangering its families getting shut down? Am I naive and is shtick like this going on elsewhere? Other than taking DS out of school, any other suggestions or recourse?

New York City will no longer have a remote schooling option come fall, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced during a television appearance on Monday, a major step toward fully reopening the nation’s largest school system.

This school year, most of the city’s roughly one million students — about 600,000 — stayed at home for classes. When the new school year starts on Sept. 13, all students and staff will be back in school buildings full-time, Mr. de Blasio said.
