About 20 of harvards Incoming Freshman class will defer attending instead of being in classes at the beginning of classes this fall. Foeshs also reports harvard only expects about 25 of its undergraduates to live on campus after anticipating that number would be around 40 . All this week weve spent time talking about back to school as part of our efforts to build a better bay area. As School Begins next week at several large bay area districts we wanted to find out what teachers are expecting from this Upcoming School year and listen to what they have to say. My home is not my classroom. Yes, i would love to go back to the classroom this fall, however as a parent i would have to say no. Ive had a lot of years to work on my craft, and everything ive known about school is different. Meeting my kids and checking in with them every day is everything. And for me teaching to a blank screen is going to be a real challenge, right, and so its finding ways to engage and build a community with kids ive never met before. This will be new for teachers and new for students to start off a school year not having established relationships. I am excited to make sure that our students actually have a fun time learning considering whats been going on. Im hoping they have cameras on just because i need to know whos who. I need to know what they look like. I need to know whos on the other end. I would say im probably most worried that we might try to rush inperson interaction too quickly. I would hate to see like a student pass an illness to another student or to someone in that students family and it could be entirely preventable. I am worried about the future of Public School education with continued budget cuts as well as families wanting to unenroll their child from school. Im worried about the potential increase in the achievement gap of our black and brown students. In the spring we called it crisis teaching. We left school due to the uridh could l ne in tt place to bark from home in the same way i would try to do it if i was in the classroom. Last spring was able to have some really intentional intensive groupings with students or oneonone groups and really push my students reading which couldnt actually happen in the classroom because of all the distractions that happen. So i think once we get families reestablished and have all the devices they need and the wifi and we create community then we can actually have some deeper learning than we had in the spring. From the students perspective last year ended with an opportunity without a whole lot of accountability for learning. And so when we go back kids are going to have to learn that school is real now, and school counts. And the expectation is that you show up prepared to learn and assignments get turned in and that engagement piece needs to be in place. Good to hear from those teachers. Happening today hundreds of families will get a little bit of help before school starts. The shop till you Drop Foundation will be giving away School Supplies to students. Donations are still being accepted so more kids can take part. I love to see that. I love to see that, too. And im going to show you a live shot of the Golden Gate Bridge where theres fog right now.

They did so using a box, a laser, a lens and a cellphone camera to visualize the pattern of respiratory droplets. 14 types of masks were tested. Bandannas and neck fleeces performed the worse.
