Gov. Jay Inslee has announced that schools in Washington will stay closed for the remainder of the school year.
The original plan was to reopen schools for the spring term, but with the continued spread of COVID-19, Gov. Inslee says the closure is necessary in order to “put the health and safety of our community first.”
Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Denise Juneau said that despite the continued closure, SPS will continue to provide essential support and services for students and families, including free packed lunches for students. Remote-learning will be the norm for awhile, and SPS has been sending out learning packets and providing teacher-led lessons via SPS TV and You Tube.
“I understand the anxiety, sadness, and frustration this extended closure may cause, and I recognize that this transition has not been easy,” Juneau said in her statement. “Please know that each and every one of our decisions is made with the wellbeing of our 53,000 students in mind.”
SPS is still determining what the extended closure means for staff and students, including graduation details for seniors and info for students who receive specialized services. We’ll update with new info when it becomes available.

Schools sit empty for 3 or so months every year. Yes, big paid for buildings, sitting empty. The majority of schools in Europe follow a year-round school year. Meaning kids all receive the proper number of educational days, just not at the same time. Some 3,000 schools here in America already use this or a similar format. Pretty progressive stuff. Now, we have this wonderful thing, the internet too.

I feel like cats are about to lay down with dogs or something…
i wonder if the remote learning will render the current teacher-student model obsolete? i would be pretty scared if i was a teacher with their part time schedules…”summer vacation”? for a public employee??
Yes, now this is happening in many countries. So the most interesting thing is that the quality of online education is not as high as I thought it would be. Now sitting and studying at home, I often use help from https://edubirdie.com/essay-writers-for-hire since I can not do all the tasks myself, and I do not understand all the school material well. I think that online education needs many more additions.
I can say for myself that writing any essay or article is very challenging. It’s better to be responsible, because many people get a low grade on their diploma because of the poor quality of their writing, essays, and so on. Luckily I avoided that because I found experts who helped me, there is this paper review website , where just that everyone can help easily and easily. I think it will not be unnecessary. Good luck.
The most important task of educational institutions is to provide quality knowledge and skills. But much can depend on the personal desire of the student. Now I’m preparing a dissertation proposal, and this also gave me a lot of difficulties. I decided to use the help of dissertation proposal writing services. I hope this will help me to prepare well and get a high grade, because my future career may depend on it.
