I live in Paulding County, it's odd it's getting singled out. It's seriously no different than probably 90% of other school systems that reopened for in person instruction.
Of course, that may be the problem.

Yes, it's chaos. There is no unified central leadership to be found on how to navigate any aspect of the pandemic in the U.S. Why is that?
What would an effective response to a highly contagious virus look like?
Want me to post articles describing what a disastrous job obama/biden did with h1n1? Do you even care?

I'm sure mistakes were made. Mistakes will always be made with an unpredictable virus. That's natural.
Sure. Post your articles.

FEMA stealing masks from states is his fault.
Not having a a decent test producing plan is his fault.
Politicizing mask wearing from the Oval Office is absolutely his fault. I'm sure others would've done it but at least he could've gotten on board quicker.
Saying he took no responsibility is his fault.
He is responsible for ALL national response to the virus, both the good and the bad.
Did he or did he not try to stop all flights from China as soon as he could to stop the pandemic?

Yes, he did that against the advice of experts who know that stopping flights or travel in that public, panicky way, actually speeds up transportation and spreads the virus more. People simply and quickly find alternative routes. People who don't have travel plans panic, thinking they're gonna get stuck somewhere, and start finding a way out.
When OO stopped flights from China people simply went to Europe and then to the U.S. Spreading the virus throughout Europe on the way to N.Y.

I see that Alaska leads the country in percentage of kids homeschooled. Understandable given how dispersed the population is.
But West Virginia and Arkansas are way up there too!
Interesting article on the geography of homeschooling.

Just a reminder from page 1, that we have done all of this where I live.
Twitter usually ages poorly. Dawdled indeed.

The officials in charge of San Francisco's public schools are hard at work—not coming up with a plan to quickly reopen the schools, but to rename as many as 44 of them.
As parents, teachers, and principals deal with the frustrations of distance learning, the San Francisco Unified School District recently asked them to brainstorm replacements for schools that are "inappropriately" named after problematic historical figures, such as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and even Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D–Calif.).
"I don't think there is ever going to be a time when people are ready for this," Mark Sanchez, president of the school board and a member of the committee that proposed the changes, told the San Francisco Chronicle. "Predictably people are going to be upset no matter when we do this."
Maybe. But people are more upset right now, because San Francisco's public schools aren't even open and have no plans to reopen until probably January.
Many private schools in the city have successfully reopened. San Francisco, like D.C., New York City, Chicago, Baltimore, and many other large cities, has deemed it safe for privileged kids to go back to school. Yet families that rely on public education have been told they must wait, no matter the harmful consequences for their children.

Its all pretty sinnister. Inflict as much pain as possible. Just be woke while doing.
I recently saw SF apartment prices cratering. Maybe they solve their homeless problem by making everyone leave the hell hole?
