A new idea is picking up traction around the country, and in New York City in particular: sending kids to school in person, but holding class outside

Some will attend in person, some will only “attend” online, and others, including New York City’s 1.1 million students, will do both, as school districts attempt to strike a balance between stemming the spread of COVID-19 and the advantages of having students in a physical classroom.
Last week, Mayor Bill de Blasio was asked about a petition — which has nearly 3,600 signatures as of this writing — calling for “OUTDOOR SCHOOLING NOW!” And a survey last month of NYC parents “found strong consensus that outdoor space, including streets outside of schools, should be used when possible,” according to Streetsblog.
Teachers, some of whom fear a return to crowded, indoor classrooms, may be open to the idea, too. Michael Mulgrew, president of NYC’s teachers union, told the Times that holding class outdoors seems promising.
