I love sports, but they need to go.

I honestly don’t see how if you are opening up they will make much difference. I do think Manhattan is set up to be hit pretty bad with the return of students and so maybe sports would spread that to less exposed towns, but look who they play.

I change my mind everyday about what I think is going to happen but I think the 1000 people in a building for a full day is more of a problem than football or whatever.

agree.  it's just people desperate to not make the decision to keep schools closed looking for anything else they can possibly rationalize as the problem.

if there's just 9 new cases I'd say they're doing pretty good

given incubation times and testing delays, i'd think that's more like 9 people that were infectious at the time of the photo.

 I’m pretty much on the school from home or Hybrid w/emphasis on as much outdoor/open air classes as possible, and allow outdoor sports w/ minimal use of locker rooms /indoor facilities.

If you have to shut down hs and jr high sports tho, so be it.
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.

They should just do what the school does: if classes are in person, play on. Otherwise cancel or postpone.

Had heard on the news today that a 7 yr old kid with no health problems died from Covid-19.  This crap is dangerous to kids and besides causing long term health issues, it could cause death.  How rough ridin' stupid are our leaders who work remotely to protect themselves, but think kids can be together in schools without controlling this virus.

also, I think we're stupid to let these fuckers handle this pandemic like idiots without repercussions.  Let's get these crap heads out of government, so they can't eff up anything else.

7 year old went back to school yesterday for a “get ready” day where only 1/5 of the students were there and they drilled them on mask wearing protocol, lining up, distancing, recess, lunch, etc. during covid.

Initial 7 year old reaction: crap sucks. Can’t touch anyone else on recess. Can’t share equipment/supplies. Can’t sit by anyone at lunch or anywhere else. But, he didn’t even realize he was wearing his mask after we picked him up and said he forgot about it for most of the day so I think masks will be fine. He goes back full time next Monday assuming our district doesn’t follow Omaha Public and go all virtual between now and then.

Good report, I agree kids can wear masks all day - it won't be perfect 100% of the time but they can do it. But I'd guess crap's gonna spread with 25 kids in a classroom even if they're masked up.

what is everyone doing with there kids this fall, send them to in person school, or home schooling?  Was planning on doing in school, because i can't get anything done with kids here during the day WFH, but starting to wonder if should switch to home school.  School isn't starting until Sep 8th, so a lot could change between now and then, they may not give us the choice by then who knows.

Not saying to follow my advice.

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 don't like being inside stores or restaurants with spaced-out adults that you'd think are generally smarter than kids. 

And I think less-spaced, presumably dumber kids inside a building where there's constant mingling would be a lot worse.

Thus I'd be pretty uncomfortable putting my kid in that petri dish for the kid's sake and then uncomfortable myself with the kid coming home and bringing all that to me.

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

Around here I know some parents are looking to transfer from USD 383 (Manhattan/Ogden) to either USD 378 (Riley County) or USD 323 (Rock Creek) if they can.  Those two school districts are going 5 days a week in person whereas USD 383 is only two days a week for a kid to start.

what's the plan for when those districts go to hybrid or online only mid-year? I also thought about sending my kids to somewhere like KS but this kind of stopped me before it became the inevitable pain it was gonna be.

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.

We homeschool our kids so we watch all of the debate around kids in school with a detached interest and a gratefulness that we are not experiencing all of the indecision and anxiety others are feeling.  I have had some parents ask how much my wife would charge to homeschool their kids.  My wife does have a degree in elementary education, so she does have some qualifications.
