Only places that are buying into F2F are part of the GOP death cult.


I wouldn't call CT, RI, MA, and NH part of the GOP death cult.


I would say that they have some of the best numbers as far as community spread.


Yes, those are not good examples. They more controlled than we are.

Most interesting is this:

"Approximately half of the district’s 3,000 employees have responded to a survey asking for their comments, and 78 percent of the respondents have indicated a willingness to return to school, he said"

So 78 percent of staff there are willing to go back to school, compared to only 25% of MCPS staff.


Ah, yes, the educational powerhouse that is WEST VIRGINIA. LOL. Ranked somewhere right around 40th of the 50 states in public schools.

Anyone who moves their kids there just to get in-person will prove beyond any doubt that they don't give a damn about education -- they just want free babysitting.

“I WANT MY KIDS TO BE F2F EDUCATED, DEAD OR ALIVE!”

This what these people sound like.

A little dramatic, are you? Alive vs Dead. I wonder which is smarter.

This is what will be happening in schools that open. The question is not whether kids will get infected, but rather how many will get infected. If they can keep the infected numbers low, some of the students will be able to stay in school and the number of those who were in contact with the student who are on home quarantine will stay low. But, I expect that the numbers will not stay low. Only time will tell.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/indiana-schools-coronvirus-reopening-student-staffer-test-positive/

Superintendent Harold Olin sent an email to parents of students at Greenfield-Central Junior High School Thursday afternoon notifying them that a student at the school had tested positive.

[...]

"This really does not change our plans," Olin said of reopening schools. "We knew that we would have a positive case at some point in the fall. We simply did not think it would happen on Day One."

In response, the school district enacted its "Positive COVID-19 Test Protocol," which included isolating the student in the school clinic. District and school nurses worked to identify other students or staff who may have come in close contact. Classrooms and areas where the student spent time were also given special cleanings.

Close contacts will have to quarantine for 14 days before returning to school, according to the protocol. Any staff or students who test positive for the coronavirus can return to school only after isolating at home for 10 days and allowing at least 72 hours to pass since showing symptoms.

You won't look like fools. It will be the schools that reopen that have staff and students contract and die from the virus that look like fools. Schools are going to be sued to kingdom come.

We aren't the east coast, intellectual elite for nothing.


Uh huh. Okay. And these are your highly educated, intellectual elite during these covid times: https://twitter.com/AdamParkhomenko/status/1266544706516848640

We should see by October what all these changes result in. But, I think we all know based on what happened in Israel and some other countries in Europe when they reopened.


What European countries struggled to reopen schools?

I have friends and relatives all over: primarily the Midwest and the South, also CA, Pacific Northwest, TX, FL. Everyone I know has said their school districts will at least start out as all virtual. I don’t know anyone in the country whose kids will be going back to school as usual.


The schools in Neverland and Oz!
