[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My district doesn't give a hoot about teachers but they couldn't get their s&%t together to open until this past March. Districts love to let the teacher's unions take the fall for not reopening but in reality, this past year has shown us what's behind the curtain with the higher-ups in certain school districts.

Are you in Fairfax? Because I'm OP and I am and this sounds like Fairfax.[/quote]

It sounds like a lot of school districts in this country. Led by bumbling idiots who are more concerned about renaming schools and other BS.[/quote]

I believe you meant to write “lead by bumbling idiot PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS who are more concerned about renaming schools and other BS.”

That description fits the Fairfax and Loudoun school boards perfectly.[/quote]

I know only 6t00k or so Americans died of this. I mean we topped the charts for deathrate and it would've been double that if we'd opened school yet at least some parents would've gotten their free daycare![/quote]

Double? Cite?  Or did you just pull this out of your nether regions?[/quote]

There would be no cite for this. There was a study done in Texas that showed that because open schools led to greater mobility for adults, it was correlated with an increase in spread, but I don't believe it correlated with double the deaths. As far as I know that and one study out of Germany were the only ones that showed an increase. On the other side there was an extensive contact tracing study out of the Netherlands that showed no spread going from schools to families and out into the community (which doesn't preclude spread in the community because parents had flexibility while kids were in school, as in Texas).
