I hope my kids school closes, and I'm happy to make a commitment to spending a lot of extra time helping them make up the lost progress.
My plan is to let them enjoy the time off, for the most part, and then spend the next n months on reduced entertainment in favor of extra studying.
Seems a small price to pay given how many lives will be saved by closing schools.
Edit: one concern I heard is that health care workers need schools to take care of their children. Why not start by letting anyone that can take their child home, take their child home. This would reduce the risk for the children that stay in school by a lot, which will help health care workers not get sick.
Because currently I'd risk punishment for taking my child out of school "unexcused". Which seems like some seriously backwards bs.
