How is the first week of IPL?

It’s been AMAZING!! My child is super excited everyday to go to school and comes home beaming excited to tell us all about his “great” day. We are all equally thrilled that he no longer needs to deal with the online classes. It’s been going exponentially better than i ever imagined

It's been surprisingly great! My kid is, shall we say, a bit set in his ways for someone who is 5, so I honestly didn't have high hopes for a change to his routine, which was honestly pretty great from his pov (play outside, eat lunch, do one class, play some more, have a nanny who loves him dote on him, etc.) But every day after school he runs to me and tells me he LOVES it, it's all his favorite part, etc. etc. I honestly didn't realize how much he missed it (though was keenly aware of how much I missed it of course!)

We have a k kid at a school that is simulcasting to a group of kids at home. He seems to still spend a lot of time on the computer and recess has been indoors with hulahoops or something. (He’s very tight-lipped.) Even with all the safety precautions and screens, I’ve seen a huge shift in his personality and mood. He’s happy and excited to go each day.

For the crowd who’s been saying, “Masks and distancing and sitting straight at desks and specials online — it’s not normal school and it sounds grim! No thanks!”:

When you hear people reporting that their kids are so excited to be there despite the grimness, do you now understand that all-virtual was even more grim and awful, at least for this group of kids?

I'm an ER nurse. My kids' teachers have assumed far, FAR less risk than I have for the past 10 months of taking care of Covid patients.

I can’t be the only one thinking that jab at teachers at the end was completely unnecessary.

I agree. It was completely unnecessary.

Not really. It’s a valid and critical point we shouldn’t forget.

This.

So all you needed was PPE? Why on earth didn't WTU just say that months ago?

As they should have. Apples and oranges, my dear.
But hey, here’s a cookie!

Indeed. What a ridiculous nurse post. Yes, nurses are heroes right now, but damn have they been annoyingly wrong on social media early and often. "Don't wear masks if you haven't received a course and certification on how to donn/doff them!" "How dare you wear gloves and use your cell phone! Look at how ridiculous you look to us healthcare professionals!" "LOL pulsometer? Now I've seen everything. No, I do not advise you to buy one on the internet, LOL. Those $20 ones are useless compared to the mega machines we have in the ER. If you can't breathe go to the hospital for chrissakes."
OK, sorry. Nurses, you are heroes. Thank you for your service.
Also, PP nurse, your kids' teachers have assumed far less risk than you have, until you placed yourself 1 degree of separation away from them every day. Nice.

You seem super mad. Are you a teacher?

It sounds like you're attempting to assert that being a nurse treating COVID patients is safer than being a teacher because of PPE. I am hopeful that by reflecting your comment back at you, that you will realize what an ass you're being.

The nurses coming on this forum looking for trophies are tiresome.

Get a clue. They are helping saving lives while teachers sit at home doing DL.

They are healthcare workers. Saving lives is their job.

Nah, this is just March/April mad bubbling back up with the flashbacks of the counter-productive dumbass viral videos.

I'm sure the teachers complained a lot more about it than nurses, too.

Just because nurses have been heroic, and teachers have been 100 percent awful, doesn't mean you have to be catty.

DP here. Nurses are doing their full jobs; teachers aren't because it's impossible to perform your entire job from home. I'm a parent who hasn't had to do any part of any nurse's job for them, while I've had to do A LOT of the teachers' jobs for them. TONS.
