School Openings

CDC says they want them open. Why do you disagree with them?

ETA... I don't have an elementary/Hs kid anymore. My son is starting grad school. I'd have no problem with him in HS this fall though.
 
I dont keep track of who wants what. Because we have such a corrupt and vain President we cant always take what government officials he has the power to retaliate against say.



I do have family that run a Montessori school. They are currently up and running in Louisiana with little problem. I personally dont spend time on the cesspool of propoganda and conspiracy that this has become. Let the experts make the call.
 
people should be clear that CDC end of July 2020 is not the same entity it waw beginning of July 2020.
Creating confusion and muddying the water for those that are uninformed

Trump installed a Wm Barr like character to you know, "exonerate" the data.
 
Yeah I dont follow this **** but following Trump I know his playbook is if the "experts" disagree then he just replaces them with a lackey.
 
so when posters tell me the "CDC" says they are all for schools opening and it is safe for kids and teachers,,,, think of the latest iteration of " the wall"
 
There are a couple of good teachers I know who put in work on weekends and evenings to do a better job that are retiring because my county BoE isn't taking COVID seriously. These are teachers who taught my kids, so I know how big of a loss they are.

I've been surprised by the politicization of a lot of things lately, but this one takes the prize for stupidity. We're months away from a vaccine and we're still finding effective treatments. The obvious play here is to keep the kids home for another semester so they aren't spreading all the germs they picked up while waiting in line at restaurants on their beach vacation. Instead we have people citing death rates of kids as if they don't live with parents or grandparents, and citing adult death rates while ignoring the long term or permanent damage this virus does to multiple organs.

I'm just stunned that factors like the economy or unions would ever come up in the conversation of how to handle this. We can fix the economy. We can't bring back the dead, or repair lung scarring, or nullify the effects of a stroke.

Its kind of sad that old people are discounted to the extent they are by so many people. At several levels. One is the vital role they play in many families. Taking grandchildren to baseball practice, passing on their wisdom. Another level is we have a social compact with them (indeed with each other). They took care of us and we take care of them. If we break that, then we deserve to be abandoned when we reach a similar stage of life. Giving up bars and wearing a mask are small things we should all be happy to do for them. And yes, we can do more to help the bar owners and restauranteurs who are losing their businesses. We can do more than one thing at a time.

Lol.

Don’t need to get another side of it ? You really cannot be helped.


The cdc system was broken. Maxed out.

The teletracking system has been around for years and is much better by ALL accounts. No one can manipulate unless at the level people serve jail time. A hospital worker isn’t willing to do that.


educate yourself just a little.
 
Do hospital workers now publish data for public consumption ?
System must be more broken than I thought

In the past 3 days the administration

a) lied about when the wall blew over
b) lied about Yankee Stadium
c) lied about a Covid cure that had to be taken down by Twitter
d) lied about tear gas in Lafayette Park
e) lied about Michigan Man of the Year

Forgive my skepticism over anything coming out of this administration

and, Wm Barr hasnt even started testifying yet !!!!!

///////////////////

and that is just since Saturday
 
this was put up by cajun a few day ago and throws another log on the fire that fuels general/universal skepticism over the latest "data" published by CDC

Interesting developments here. SDNY who was representing DHS in NY's lawsuit over them removing the trusted traveler program from NY in retaliation for unrelated bills. SDNY sent a letter to the Judge saying that DHS committed perjury to support their position. This letter was sent by Berman's replacement. This is a key detail because Barr tried to get a Trump lackey who has never worked as a prosecutor into the position. Instead by forcing Barr to fire him Berman got his deputy appointed to the position. I think its a fair assumption this never sees the light of day. Now lets collectively hold our breath waiting for perjury charges.....
 
Locally, we have had very little to zero qualms about returning to in school teaching. Our local school is going by the superintendents recommendations for online only for 9 weeks. Opening has been pushed back to Sept. They still don't know what it will look like then.

We are having to go private. All the teachers there reported even though they get paid very little. It doesn't seem to bother most teachers we have spoke to, and we have done a lot of research lately and toured just about all of them.

Most teachers have indicated behind closed doors they support school back to normal because they fear kids falling into violence or gang related activity while at home and not getting the home support to keep up.

What choice do you have? I'm really hoping this will end up delivering a catastrophic blow to the public education system
