20. I have two in college

(One grad school, one senior in college)

It is hard to duplicate hands on classes though. I have two engineering students; labs and group projects just stopped for spring term.

Nursing students, for example, really need to be hands on.

My youngest kid’s university is talking about how classrooms will be set up for fall, including putting small classes in larger rooms, rotating very large classes through a combo of some students in class and some virtual so all get to be in class at some point (which frankly sounds a lot like the article’s suggestion) and prescribed entrance/exit procedures.

It’ll be interesting to see how they deal with dorms. It’s going to be tough.
