the kids don't go to school. They have a group of 10-12 kids get together at one of the homes and they all just split the cost on the teacher. Pretty interesting concept.
It's like, did Greenville County not think stuff like that would happen? These kids aren't gonna sit in quarantine during their off days. So dumb.
