aside from the exclusivity issue I'm just generally annoyed by people who think they can "disrupt" systems and structures that have been in place for years after googling "education spending per pupil". It's just really dismissive of what people who actually work in education have to deal with.

he's just trying to hire a tutor for his kid because he thinks public school will be cancelled this semester.
If he was just trying to do that, he would just do that instead of creating a hashtag and blogging about it.

I guarantee his VC fund is going to invest in a #microschool startup that acts like they're inventing a new concept that is really just rebranded tutoring. He said as much in his feed
This is what being a disrupter looks like.

Is he demanding his school taxes refunded? Because that's a major thing on texags

I'm really curious about how long schools will stay open. And how they will decide to shut down. And how decisions about doing so will vary.

At first I was annoyed when our schools announced a virtual start but now I'm glad because everyone's gonna shut down and at least our teachers will be mostly ready for it.

Would be a good poll question - by what date will all schools in KS (or your state) be shut back down?

It could be that the mask, but it looks to me like the girl in the relative middle with the blue mask is terrified.  And lol at dude over her right shoulder's tampa shirt.

i thought ks schools were going to start the year online and were contemplating opening up for in-person classes after labor day.


i haven't been able to think of a good poll question around school/college openings, but i'd like to poll it if i can think of a good framing.

Most of the ones in our area are opening in-person in approx 2 weeks with options for online / virtual / remote / whatever you want to call it.

My sisters district told teachers that as long as everyone had masks then no need to quarantine if students in their class came down positive.

i'm not a lawyer, but it would seem to me that a lot of school districts are just begging to get sued here pretty soon.

the CDC school "guidance" is pretty masterful at not giving a single requirement, just sharing "considerations" or things to do "when feasible"

Why even bother having state, county and city health departments. 

Lot of positions apparently need to be eliminated at the state, county and city level.

Those people are apparently completely clueless

Yep. That was Johnson county’s guidelines. As long as everyone is masked assume you are ok
