[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm did you see the first photo? Is that really what you want for your kid?
I want my kid back in school too, but not like that.[/quote]

The only way I’d send my kid back to school is if all the kids were in boxes like that. I don’t trust that other kids won’t infect mine unless that’s in place.[/quote]

LOL. Can you imagine any American kid having the discipline to stay in a box like that? What works in other countries could never work here. Look at the kids in Germany— you think American kids could even manage to stay in straight lines? Bet the adults here couldn’t even manage it. We can’t even get adults to wear masks.[/quote]

It would be tough for some. I had an 8 year old on the first day of school yell at another teacher, “You aren’t my teacher! You can’t tell me what to do” while at recess. Another would threaten to sue me if the class didn’t get to recess on time. I have been told, “This is a free country. You can’t tell me what to do” and have had some students rig the classroom door so they could sneak out of the cafeteria and hide in the classroom in order to scare the class upon our return from lunch. A student told me he would kill me and it wouldn’t be quick, it would be “a slow and painful death”. One student told another, “This is America. I can do what I want. You’re not American. Go back you’re your own country!”. When in the morning it was announced we would have a lockdown drill the students cheered, “Yay! Lockdown drill!” They didn’t take lockdown drills seriously and would laugh and talk during the drill. Those are just examples off the top of my head. Different students, same class, difficult year.[/quote]
