I don’t think distance learning works for anyone under the high school level, definitely not elementary. And what are working parents supposed to do?

I put this in the actual school thread a few days ago, but it bothers me a lot that governments at every level fucked this up so badly, and now teachers are being asked to risk their health and the health of their loved ones because parents need to go back to work. No, I do not have a solution. Doesn't make me less mad. I'm also angry at selfish assholes who wouldn't stay home at the beginning, and who refuse to wear masks now.

I have a 2 year old, daycare is open, and no spreads have been linked to any across the country. It isn’t my kids that are going to be fucked with computer teaching. It’s the already less fortunate. It literally doesn’t effect me at all, but if you’re cool with not giving a fuck about those kids then that’s cool with me. From the way you talk on here I figured you’d be one to care.

The less fortunate are much more likely to catch the disease. We know nothing about the long term impact of the disease. It would be a tragedy to give kids lifelong lung issues because we were too impatient to wait for better medical advances in terms of testing, treatment, and prevention.

And furthermore if we start up with a plan and have to shut down these will be the first ones overlooked. I would rather start with a plan that includes and focuses on these students. These are exactly who I teach. The money we spend to half open a school would be better spent providing resources to these students.

Like I said, this should be a thread, but how do you plan on that? And to make sure they’re engaged?

Lol I do care. It’s what I do for a living. I’m just laughing cause u spend half a thread and can’t say black lives matter and now I’m supposed to think you are concerned. They are already way behind and in trouble if school opens or not. That being said I hope school is able to open.

There is a thread. 

If my local walmart can have 4000 people a day visit.....we surely can have a few hundred kids attend school.

Bumped it. Use that thread for school specific discussion from now on.

I care about the kids who didn’t ask for the hand they were dealt. 

I think I've mentioned this before.  But we've spent $3T in stimulus packages so far.  If that saved 1 million lives, that's $3M each.  If, according to some research, you saved an average of 11 years than that's about $270k per year.

And let's not pretend like governments and people don't put a price on life every day (while pretending to claim all life is priceless).

At the bar tonight and the bar tender said there are rumors floating around that another full shutdown is on the way. I really hope she misheard that. 

Heard the same about the full shutdown    

Should put an end to a good percentage of the businesses that survived the first tyranny

Dewine will announce the shutdown tomorrow. 

Yeah, he’s due to show himself soon

I heard Thursday. 

No fucking reason the bar we’re in needs to be shut down. I hope they defy the order, we’ll continue coming.

Seems like a statewide mask mandate would come before another shutdown, but who knows.

I don’t care if you think I don’t get it.

There are 8 people in the bar and we’re all socially distant. So what the fuck are we doing wrong? Worry about Chicago.

You would think, and maybe the shutdown is on a county level and we’re one of the so-called hot spots.

52% of deaths came out of the top 5 states. NY, NJ, Mass, Ill, Ca. Not to mention the uptick in murders in NY, Minn, and Chi. But you should def not drink a beer in a bar bc you’re killing a grandma. Unless you’re protesting George Floyd and then you’re fine.

Complaining about your state considering another shut down while you’re sitting inside at a bar is just pure gold.
