I honestly don't know if those parents think that will happen.  At the same time, I also think they're at the point where if they can get the kids out of the house 5 days a week for a few weeks or a couple months, it will be worth it to them.  If those other districts go online or hybrid at some point, I'm sure 383 will already be there.  In that case, they won't be worse off and will have gotten some time where the kids are in school 5 days a week.

They’d be worse off in that they’d have put their kids every weekday into a cesspool that eventually had to be shut down, and whatever came with that.

Also will 383 just take them back? Or will they be stuck in districts where they don't know anyone? Whatever, anything just to get them out of my hair for a couple weeks, because it's really about the kids

The guy just wants a thoughtful debate

Given these universal truths, I suggest we all start thinking creatively and share our learnings while ignoring the crazy, vocal minority of virtue-signaling communists who hate innovation and want their lives run by our dysfunctional government … you know, the same government that has us spending more and getting less from education today, and which is performing in last place when it comes to dealing with the crisis.

Yep, and if the 5-day-a-week schools fill up, these parents could send the kids off with some of the wayfair cabinet traffickers and have absolutely no WFH interruptions.

I am sending my kids and I am going to work. I think there is a good chance the schools get shut down, but I think it is worth it to send them rather than trying to finagle a home school situation.

i mean, if you're sending yourself, you might as well send the children too.

this is honestly it, we've become a bit doompilled about trying to cocoon up and avoid what's coming.

Make sure you do all the Fatty Fund work we discussed before you’re inevitably virus’d.

our district is going 5 days a week in school, which is what we decided, but now after seeing other schools already in session have issues, and neighboring districts going only 2 days in school, rest virtual, we're having second thoughts.

it's kinda hard to see this as anything other than trying to lock up tuition and appease critics by intially opening, knowing full well they'd soon need to close.  like, they can't have thought this wouldn't happen.

does make you question what everyone's collective expectations were to change course so quickly, also I wouldn't doubt if it was a reaction to media coverage more than to viral spread.

no I think plenty of people expected this to happen and the reaction but felt they needed to open anyway. The dean of their public health school had a pretty good post about how complicated the decision was

1.46% of enrolled students.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
