We are going to be seeing a BIG PROBLEM in the foreseeable future because of these lockdowns and online schooling. A lot of social problems coming. Emotional problems coming. Kids being held back a grade....OR TWO.

This decision analytical model found that missed instruction during 2020 could be associated with an estimated 5.53 million years of life lost. This loss in life expectancy was likely to be greater than would have been observed if leaving primary schools open had led to an expansion of the first wave of the pandemic.

Schools should have been and still should be the priority. Not casinos, bars and gyms.

School vouchers would help get more kids into smaller schools.
I believe large schools are a major problem, Corona or not , public or private. I believe kids & teenagers get lost in them & dont have a chance to be recognized as individuals & it hurts them long term .teachers, union or not dont have a chance to listen they become robots.

Gyms haven't been an issue I don't think from what I have read. From my own personal view and what I have seen - most people in the gyms have been pretty good at taking precautions.

Different conversation that I agree with you on and don't even get me started on public unions. More to the point of our current time, schools should be the priority.

I meant the whining about them being closed. My post wasn't even to suggest any of those places should be shut down, it was that those places took higher priority than opening up schools.

Then again. Schools are mostly funded through property taxes. Can't collect property taxes when people are out of jobs and businesses are closed.

They had all summer to come up with a game plan better than what they are doing. What I'm seeing with my 3 is absurd, and thank God I don't have little kids that are in grades K-5.

Making schools a priority doesn't mean shutting everything else down. immediately and forever.

My son does the live/online hybrid. He's doing very well. I talk to people that went the 100% online and their kids seem to be struggling. I'll be curious to see if people switch to the hybrid when they can.

That was his only B in the first nine weeks. His problem is working too fast. Fortunately they're not doing anything yet that I can't help him with.

We have the option at our school, granted, it’s private. My kids do 100% in-school, but have twice had to go to online since Sept, once because one of mine had the Rona, the other, because my wife did. They were excited to go back to school. They school is trying to push more hybrid because of class numbers right now.

I was talking to one of my teacher friends who was bitching about the possibility of hybrid in public schools and flat said, “we don’t have to worry about that, the union will keep us from having to deal with it”.

You can't find anyone having the power to make a decision re: schools wit enough intestinal fortitude to make a decision and stick with it.

The only point in being as diesel as I am is to go to bars and show it off. Don't ruin my hobbies! I don't interrupt your quilting circle!

On a more serious note, my daughter's school closed down in mid-March, and she finished 2nd grade doing remote learning. It wasn't well designed or implemented, but they worked with the tools they had to do it at the time. Her school's normal schedule is M-Th full days, half-day Fridays. They are doing the full days and they throw things like art and music into Fridays and do those remote. It's been working pretty well so far. They keep the grades separate, and that helps. The 4th grade recently went under quarantine, but that's the first mass quarantine in her school this year.

I should also note that parents have the option to have their kids do class remotely. I think there were 4 kids in my daughter's 3rd grade class who did that. I don't know the back story on those kids or their families. It might be to limit exposure for high risk folks.

I have a neighbor who decided to home school their 4 kids, ages 4 to 12. Their argument was that none of the kids would have been in school since they would have to hold them all out if one kid got sick.

I don't think that school size makes much difference in learning situations. It seems that teacher unions are most responsible for closing down the public schools around the country and the administrators who select subject matter taught in classrooms are responsible for that agenda..

Classroom size is a major driver. Anything over 20 and you start diluting. The private schools I’m sending my kids to are 12-1 student/teacher ratio.

“A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) shows not only that the effectiveness of the Pfizer Covid vaccine becomes negative (meaning the vaccinated are more likely to be infected than the unvaccinated) within five months but that the vaccine destroys any protection a person has from natural immunity.

Oddly, the authors of the new study fail to draw attention to their alarming findings. Instead they conclude that the vaccine was ‘found to confer considerable immunity against Omicron infection’ – even though the high protection only lasted weeks and was negative within months.”
