Why didn’t colleges cancel spring break?

A lot of people who go to spring break aren't in college at all. They're there for the party.

You must miss Trump.

In other countries, once the proportion of variants hit 50%, they experienced a surge.

The outcome of the pandemic is not yet written.

But I can see where some kids get their immaturity and irresponsibility.

Oh well, we will just have another surge once the dummy spring breakers meet the dummy anti maskers. It is what it is.

I never realized how stupid a vast number of my fellow Americans are until the past couple of years.

I am not rooting for the coronavirus, I'm bemoaning how stupid my fellow Americans are right now.

All we had to do was make it to the point where at least half the country had a vaccine. That, combined with herd immunity, would have meant we could party fairly safely this summer.

But no, the stupids are going to #$&* it up for the rest of us this spring.

Because they are adults and should be able to be responsible as such.

Because when you work at a university, overbearing parents will yell at you and criticize you no matter what you do, always, all the time, every day. For every you that says "OMG, why did you do spring break," there are 10 who would have said "WHAT, no spring break?! Are you running a prison?!"

New poster.

Students and staff need breaks, but that does not mean those breaks must be traditional spring break that lasts a week and everyone leaves the campus.

My kid's small (2,600 students) college is not doing traditional spring break at all but is having four consecutive weekdays off when there are no classes AND no assignments due, with no assignments due immediately after the break either. Students cannot leave campus but that is now their normal. The college is going to sponsor optional fun activities on those days, on campus, but no one "has" to do anything.

It helps a lot that this college has about 99 percent of students living on campus so there is no off-campus culture of parties etc. If you did a four-day "in place" spring break at some huge university you'd just end up with students partying hard off-campus.

I bet someone will come here to say "They're being kept prisoner! That's not a real break!" blah blah. My kid is fine with it. And the students had a full fall semester on campus with at least 50 percent of classes in person there, and are on track for a spring semester on campus with even more classes in person, because they are staying put and following the rules like adults should. A week at the beach or whatever isn't worth crashing a system that's keeping them on campus having that "real college experience" posters on DCUM whine that their kids aren't getting right now.

Are you aware of the variants during the 1918 flu pandemic? Are you truly saying we don’t need to be concerned?

Probably not. They probably aren't that bright.

I can understand colleges having a break, I just don't understand people traveling for mostly maskless spring break partying when we are so so close to getting this under control.

You forgot the anti-vaxers.

Let's send them all to some island to spring break their lives away, while the intelligent people follow science and put this pandemic behind us.

College kids are “adults “ so this is a circular discussion.

just like the massive spike that happened after the super bowl, right?

I'm sorry you don't understand science and/or are a Lockdown Lover.

DeSantis is lyng and the death rate in Florida is about 20% at least higher than he claims.

Try again. Why do you think he's trying to vaccinate people. This is not him being a great guy, he has to get those numbers down and fast. He knows that.

Wow, that would be the story of the year. I wonder why no journalists are reporting this. This would be an award winning, career changing find for an investigative reporter. Instead, we have this admission from CNN who has painted him a villain all year.

Next up, you're going to tell us about the "data scientist" who he fired and raided her home, as if that's a legit story and she's not batshit crazy and facing jail time, aren't you?
