On hijabs, how to reopen colleges, and Akashinga

Spoiler alert - yes. But it requires the following:

• pod formation and strict adherence to said pods

• in-house, aggressive testing

• people willing to follow the rules

If you’re a parent and stuck in the ‘what do we do about school?’ limbo, it’s worth asking about how each school’s pod plans (size, movement in the school, etc). If we are going to safely reopen schools - and keep them open - it’s all about the pods and how families continue to shelter-in-place outside of school.
