Why is Westhampton Beach School District resistant to having real-time virtual learning for all classes? Live-streaming seems to offer the best plan for all for students who are opting out, students who will be home during a quarantine and on days they are learning from home.

Not the Best DaySo, the person who concocted the recent traffic experiment says it was “the best day yet” [“After Southampton Traffic Experiment Victory Lap, Talk Turns to Long-Term Possibilities,” 27east.com, May 7]. Obviously he didn’t drive anywhere between 3 and 7 p.m....
