[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a little confused about the 7 people in the dorm room part of this story.

In my kid's school, you are not allowed to have guests/friends in your room.[/quote]

[b]At my kid's school, they had the same rule but parents were outraged and complained. Kids have been violating this right and left and have even had parents hanging out sleeping over last weekend.[/b] [/quote]

Insane. The parents were the ones objecting to "no guests in rooms" AND helping kids violate it by staying as guests themselves?

Then those parents have no leg to stand on when their own kid gets infected. Zero sympathy for those families.

Let me guess -- parents were complaining that "my child needs to be able to socialize and can't do that if you ban visitors in rooms" or some self-centered nonsense like that, right?

These are the people who keep the pandemic going and going.

I am the pp. I can't believe the posts I'm reading online. It isn't uncommon for them to begin with "I am so outraged at XXX University". I have two in college and the posts are almost exactly the same even though their universities couldn't be more different. The one in the red state is much worse. There was so much of the "my poor child is in prison" posts. One of my kid's schools made it in the press and rumors are that 100 or so are going to be suspended. There were parents talking about getting lawyers their logic being no one should expect the students to behave in any other way. The students had to sign a covid conduct contract and also and an addendum was added to the on campus living contract. It is clear that students and parents showed up and were unfamiliar with the contents of both.[/quote]
