Schools should open in the Catskills

Summer camps can't open normally, so we need to make it up to the kids. Why not run a three month boarding school in the late summer/fall, with some country activities thrown in? It'll be fun, and the kids will learn better than they have on their Zoom sessions.

You can also have day camps be half-school so that they really have more time to catch up on learning

School is not camp. If you take away summer vacation for school, the kids will not be motivated and there won't be much learning happening. The ones who want to learn mostly did well on zoom/phone lessons.

Why instead of vacation?

You mean schools should operate year round in the Catskills? I think there are a few for those who live upstate.

No, they should begin their year in the Catskills and move back to the city after two or three months.

How would that work? People should be forced to own two homes?

Why would this force people to own two homes? Do people own two homes for summer camp?

You mean we should have boarding schools. I don't see the advantage in that.

The summer camps already have the grounds, and kids would be able to have fun after-school activities.
