It really sounds as if the needs of kids are going to come in conflict with the health concerns of educators. It's a total Catch-22. I don't really understand the benefit of "two days remote/two days physical presence." How does that deal with the conundrum above? It seems half-assed. Most parents (myself included) are hankering for a sense of normalcy when it comes to scheduling.
I think the AAP guidelines make sense. Conversely, if there's going to be a full-fledged war between children and educators, than perhaps we're better off going totally "remote." The caveat is that not every household has the capability to do that, and those inequities need to be addressed. Otherwise, the Pandemic (if it hasn't already) will exacerbate the gulf in education.

The two days on / off is for nothing more than :
1. Funding
and a distant #2. reduce the number of bodies on campus at a time.
