[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+100 The flyover country that this board talks down on so much has kids gaining an education while those of us on the coast have our kids stuck at home watching an iPad for 10 hrs a day.  But they're learning right?  Social interaction from carpooling, bus riding, playground playing, etc is such an important factor at these ages but this area is keeping all kids locked down from it whil 90% of the country has thrived for a year.  I thought we were supposed to "trust science".  Schools have been opened without issue.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are going to go continue issuing iPads to preK thru 2nd graders due to “uncertainty” about the coming year. Not a great sign.[/quote]

That's simply insane! Major urban school districts like Dallas have been back in person 5 days a week since October. No mass school closings or wave of sickness/death either. Is APS just waiting on Covid to disappear completely from the face of the earth?![/quote]

Fake news!  They will open back up fully in the fall.  Don’t get your panties in a bunch over absolutely nothing.

P.S.  An urban district in redneck Texas ain’t my measuring stick. [/quote]

DP - I have a niece in a Dallas suburb and it's not "redneck Texas" - it has one of the top-rated school districts in the country. And as the PP stated, no mass closings or sickness/death.  Instead, students are thriving and engaged in modified activities including band, dance team, etc.[/quote][/quote]

Flyover schools have more space and less crowded schools. That’s all it is. [b]They aren’t even taking that big a risk bc everything is bigger in Texas. [/b]

APS was a crowded snow show before pandemic, with old poorly ventilated schools. [/quote]

Well that's simply ...ridiculous. Probably not a good idea to take a tourist slogan and try to extrapolate actual public policy from it. It's akin to saying people are having more sex in Virginia, because well it "is for lovers."  :roll: There's crowded schools in Houston. There are schools with space crunch in Dallas and Austin. You're likely not a big reader, but at least Google some info first...[/quote]
