No. The last thing schools need is more policing. Schools need to stop playing around with bringing kids and teachers back. They need to operate fully outside.

They can operate any way they want, indoors or out, but it won't matter. Kids 6 to 12 years old will behave as kids. They will get together in groups that aren't 18 inches apart, let alone 6 feet apart. "Enforcement" will fail, because it can't be everywhere all the time. It may be in the parking lot before school starts, but it will happen. Since we are having trouble getting all adults who presumably fully understand the risks of their behavior to maintain social distance, how can we expect children who do not understand that to do so?
