Schools provide the perfect environment for exponential viral spread, and our islands don't have enough doctors and ICU capacity to deal with a surge like Oahu is experiencing. Many of our teachers and healthcare providers here are older and vulnerable to the virus, so it would also be unethical to force them to risk their lives every day. This would be a great time for kids to help dad cook and garden, help mom work on the car or build a shed, etc. A lot of math and reasoning to be learned in everyday tasks, not to mention communication and bonding. A cheap <$90 android tablet would also allow keiki access to many free educational apps and games to keep them busy.
