[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So at my kids' college, it is very strict to the point where it is not really worth being on campus, but they are bending over backwards to be accommodating to Freshman at the expense of upper classman.  Campus is operating at 50% capacity so plenty of people not allowed to be on.

Freshmen who violated COVID rules in the fall were sent home but allowed to regroup and come back in the spring.  Plenty of upper classmen felt those spaces should have gone to them.[/quote]

So incredibly sad. College is such a fun time. I can’t even imagine trying to do it in this insanity. The world (and old Boomers in particular) need to let up. They were not exactly great rule followers on their college days, but now they want to impose rules on others to ensure their overweight, sick selves survive. In my mind, that’s the height of selfishness. I’m sure one of them will be along shortly to tap out a fat fingered response. [/quote]

This poster sounds so immature. They are basically saying  “College was more fun before the pandemic.”

By next month, it is predicted that a half a million Americans would have died from COVID. More than WW2.

So of COURSE it can’t be business as usual. You sound ridiculous saying, “ but college is supposed to be fun.”

Oh just stop. Those kids are missing out on a wonderful time of life. College friends, study abroad, campus life. The fact that some old people at the very end of their useful lives (and some well past) are dying doesn’t change that. Why do you not get that?[/quote]

It must be a joy to have you as a grandchild.

Do you realize that someone in their 60's is 30x more likely to die from COVID than someone in their 20's. But hey, how useful is a 60 year old really.

I love your perspective on the other people around you, "How useful are they to me?"  I can only imagine what values (and I use that word very loosely) you modelled for your child.
