How Europe is reopening schools

I read this and just...we aren't doing any of this as a country, and I don't see anyone creating the systems to do so.
But teaching in the time of a pandemic comes with a host of challenges: In the high school in Neustrelitz, roughly a third of the teachers are out because they are older or at risk. Germany announced that all children would see the inside of a classroom again before the summer break after a two-week trial run in high schools.

There are not enough classrooms to allow all 1,000 students to come to class and still keep six feet apart, which means at most a third can be in school at any one time. Teachers often shuttle between classrooms, teaching two groups at once.
And Neustrelitz is testing children every four days.
