As back to school plans are in the works so that students can learn this fall, there also came challenges for parents and teachers working to create more safe spaces for kids in the country.

There are back to school plans that make kids learn in schools, some off-site, and some that require them to go through both. Any option can be a challenge for parents and care providers.

The pressure that comes for kids to go back to school adds to the challenges that parents face, USA Today said in their report.

School plans need reliable solutions, and care centers have to work on meeting coronavirus safety guidelines for children at often high costs.

President and CEO of YMCA of Greater Cincinnati, Jorge Perez, said the education system is "in the midst of a tornado" that is COVID-19, and they are trying to teach despite it all. "It's not letting up," he said.

Perez said they are in need of more funding, and they also have to work faster through it all.

Fewer Options Create More Challenges for Parents

With the option of in-person, on-site, and hybrid learning, parents have options. But as the virus is giving the country worse numbers by the day, some parents are getting limited options, reported Voice of America.

Some schools have scrapped in-person classes entirely, at least to start the school year. Cities like Los Angeles, Washington, and Philadelphia have done this in the past week and as well as schools in parts of the South and Midwest.

Some schools are thinking of having hybrid approaches so that students can still come to school at least a few days a week.

Many parents are unhappy with either remote or in-person options. The coronavirus pandemic gave parents challenges and forced them to make a tough choice that could mean life or death for their children.

There are many parents worried about how the back to school plans will work for their children.

John Barrett is one of them. As much as he wants his daughter to learn from in-person elementary school in Atlanta, he planned to keep her safe in their home.

Molly Ball is also sending his teenage sons to school in the same area this Monday, but this is a move that she feels regret over.

Ball, a mother to two boys, believes it is healthy for a child to go back to school, but also wishes they weren't going to school for the fall. "It's very scary," she said.

Health Experts Urge Caution

On Saturday, health experts urged parents and communities to exercise caution and planning when they consider sending students back to school.

The U.S. first saw this week how the COVID-19 pandemic could pose challenges for parents and teachers.

Dr. Michael Saag from the University of Alabama at Birmingham said people have to consider the consequences. He said through virtual news channel KQ2 that there are consequences with the rates of infection that the U.S. faces.

Dr. Saag also added that people should always ask the question, "Are we willing to live with the end result of the inevitable situation where teachers are going to become infected?"
