I suspect there will be a lot of pressure from parents to reinstitute in-person schooling so they have daycare.

I suspect we'll also see our first couple of disease clusters and super spreaders with associated deaths clearly attributable to a child in school. (I hope to god we'll have some compassion and keep the kids' names out of this, but I doubt it.)

Once that hits the news, I suspect lots of parents will refuse to put their kids in school.

In CA, for example, this may have devastating effects on the school district: they get money on an asses-in-seats basis [1]. I suspect that home schooling is about to have an enormous boom.
