[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t get it. if the grocery stores are safe then the managers should be there. And the regional managers should be stopping in periodically for the day. Seems to me that the school board and senior leaders can handle a live meeting every 2 weeks if community spread makes it safe enough to return to school![/quote]

It’s been explained repeatedly.  If you’re incapable of understanding, we can’t help you.[/quote]

“Teachers and kids and the lowest paid earners like grocery store clerks and servers should be at work at risk but everyone else should still be able to work at home safely.” We know. [/quote]

+1. If the School Board said, "Hey, we are meeting virtually because we want to keep community spread as low as possible, and we want the BOS and our national leaders to shut down all non-essential businesses and require telework for everyone who is not an essential worker so that schools can remain open and health systems don't get overrun", that would be one thing. They aren't saying that. They're meeting virtually because THEY don't want to risk exposure to Covid but can't say so because it's terrible optics.

School Board doesn’t need to be in person to do their job effectively. Teachers do.[/quote]

[b]Disagree. My kids are doing great with virtual learning, thanks to their teachers. I would also disagree that the School Board has been doing an effective job virtually. Maybe they should try meeting in person.[/b][/quote]

DP.  I completely agree with you.  Our kids are thriving and making progress with DL.  They are quite happy doing DL and not having to deal with the misbehaving idiots who get 90% of the teacher's time because she's trying to keep them in line.  Now those kids can't act out in a way that disrupts learning so it is a complete win-win for my kids.  Finally![/quote]

How are you measuring progress as compared to a traditional school year?[/quote]

DP. Why would you do that?? This is NOT a traditional year! The learning is of course going to be impacted like everything else. Is your work output equal to other years? Your happiness? Your relationships? Health of your stocks? Your weight? Productivity? No. It is ludicrous to have expected that in ANY format of learning kids would have had equal or better progress than a typical year. It isn’t a typical year in ANYONES life in any aspect. [/quote]

I realize you're a DP...but your definition of thriving is that DL is not completely failing? That sounds about right.[/quote]

Nobody is thriving this year. Nobody. Your kids are safe and healthy. Cared for. Learning something. That is literally the best case scenario right now. You have no concept of how little you are actually struggling if your biggest concern is that compared to any other school year your kid isn’t learning the same amount of material. [/quote]

DL fanatics have been posting for months that their kids are thriving. There is a poster on this very page that says their kids are learning as much, if not more, than a traditional school year. So not sure who you're arguing with, actually. You should probably talk to the DL crowd and let them know they're lying to themselves.[/quote]

How are you really going to sit here and tell a mom who is an expert in HER kids that she is wrong to say they’re making progress because she didn’t produce quantifiable data reports for you? [/quote]

Could be a dad. And PP said it, not me.[/quote]
