I mean I get homeboys frustration, I've had at least one kid home almost every day since school started, but the time when the pandemic is trending worse than it ever has probably isn't the time to ramp up more school.

this disease has really thrown a spotlight on how much parents hate spending time with their children.

Right? So many people acting like they should get hazard pay for being full time parents, you're the one who raised the little bastards. If they're acting like fuckheads maybe look within.

Kellis should block his kids.

Omg yes. It'd be funny if it wasn't so goddamn terrible. I get being a parent is tough, and this makes it worse, but school has never supposed to be goddamn childcare. There will be a lot of messed up kids from this pandemic, and most is from them realizing their parents can't stand them.

Haha, it's also entirely possible the kids hate being around the parents and therefore make their lives a living hell.

There's a mom whose daughter I coached a while back (and was awful, look at the youth coaching thread) who was getting WILD on the PTA and neighborhood facebook groups over it - like telling people that she was paying $600/month for her daughters' therapy and even had an ER visit because of covid and telling people who had friends die that it was anecdoctal. like WHAT??? And then it appears she completely deleted her facebook profile and every post along with it. Too bad.

I sympathize with Kellis. It just made me think of the "shut up and dribble" nonsense.

Yes, my middle child loved me but hates the crap out of being at home with me because she's lazy a.f.

Two martinis and a decent amount of crown deep and reporting that nicname jr. is actually the crap and a model citizen and genuinely great person, who while generally lazy (like nicname sr) is well ahead on all schoolwork (mostly in person, but some hybrid this week due to increased cases), and seemingly well adjusted and happy as ever.

Also rarely annoying.

It's not trending worse than it ever has in Riley County. Moreover, Riley County schools, Rock Creek and Wamego are not having a lot of issues with five day a week school.

Posted in another thread but KU med docs have repeatedly stated that infections as a result of school openings/other large events aren't typically known for 6-8 weeks due to the speed of infection cycle.

No idea when the first schools started reopening but I don't think most have been open for more than a few weeks.

Riley County and Rock Creek have been in session since August 20. Manhattan has been in session since August 26. Wamego started September 2-3. K-State has been in session since August 17.

I am very much in favor of closing bars and restaurants and opening schools

i'm happy to hear manhattan schools aren't reporting widespread transmission.

michigancat · « **Reply #294 on:** October 28, 2020, 02:11:05 PM »

our schools have been approved to be open K-6 since early October. They finally released a plan to reopen.

K-2 starts January 7, grades 3-5 start January 20. No date for middle and high school.

kids go to school 2 days a week, 90 minutes per day. It was going to be 4 days a week but they decided they needed more time to clean between cohorts so they're splitting them up to different days. goalposts constantly moving while the metro area and county has maybe the lowest infection rate in the country. And parents are like terrified of sending them back! It's unreal.

I'm not telling you how to parent, but that is a lot of alcohol for a school aged child.

Smallville schools have been open for approx ten weeks with no known transmission in the schools. There have been some infected teachers but their infections weren’t work related and they had mild illness. Hope the trend continues.

Yeah I was kind of swayed into the "at least they're doing something" camp on FB in the hopes that it won't lead to an explosion of cases and things can continue to progrsss. But there's definitely some folks that think this is a half assed plan so they don't actually need to do anything on campus this school year. Like they'll make it suck so much that no parents will want to come back.
