Last year we were told to use the id via their phone and no replacement.

The phones that we're also simultaneously trying to ban in schools? Seems those two policies are in conflict with one another.

That’s the point exactly.

If you fix academics and give kids what they need, they may not act up as much and safety could approve.

How about scanning students' palms? will McPs be able to get such "technology" in this century?

Much better than forcing kids to wear their IDs around their necks on lanyards, which won’t be effective at all once the cold & flu and COVID surges spike again and kids are all masked up while they walk the halls.

Kids aren’t going to mask. They will go sick.

Or vice versa: If school is safe and kids aren't skipping school because they're afraid of witnessing drug overdoses or getting jump, then maybe they won't be chronically absent and miss classroom time, which impacts their academics.

They go hand in hand, really.

Some kids can't focus on academics because the school isn't safe. Some kids are behaving in an unsafe manner because the academics have failed them.

He's great because he came to visit and gave you a pencil? Really?

Oh my... you can be bought off with a pencil and visit? How about stopping the visits and doing some real work to fix things?

Sometimes just not making things worse is a tremendous win. Look at Jack Smith.

And, of course, the whole "closing schools for 18 months" thing.

This selfishness is exactly why we need a virtual academy

They spread it to everyone. They need a school for kids with or who have close family members with health issues. Virtual or in person. They can use the old BOE building and convert it into a school at least for k-8th and put in good ventilation, daily cleaning, have masking, enforce no kids come to school sick, etc. If in person is so important to the BOE president make an option for those with special needs.
