Who could have ever thought that putting a big dumb moron in the oval would end up having terrible repercussions? :ck:

All joco is going back remote in secondary except for Olathe.  Elementary is staying in person.

I'm guessing Olathe will follow suit soon.

European countries have managed to keep schools open.

And?
can't speak for other school districts but I'm honestly not sure what else could've been done at the schools here in MHK other than turning each kid into bubble boy and girl.

y-l-a, I don't blame Trump per se for the pandemic, but I do think the do nothing tact hurt this country in things like not providing leadership or guidance on how we can educate our children. I saw a news story that outlined the measures that these European countries did to keep their children safe, but I couldn't find it. They have done an excellent job in keeping their students safe.

sys, are you aware of any measures these Asian countries have done to support at home learning? The reason it doesn't work here is that there has been no support for the students doing it. I think a lack of a stimulus has hurt school children the most. The narrative that we didn't want to pay people to sit at home essentially ensured that many school children on complete virtual or hybrid learning would have no support.

no, no idea.  i'd assumed that most asian countries probably had in-person classes.

To be fair, I doubt MHK schools themselves could have done much more given they have zero control over the community at large.

What should infuriate everyone is that schools are closing but bars and restaurants aren't.

I read that in Germany’s largest district kids are completely cohorted in groups of about 20 during the school day and that if one kid goes down then the class and teachers are in quarantine.

That’s laughable compared to how things are going around here.

Saying “well Europe is in person” is quite a stretch of you are arguing that we can too.

This is exactly how my district's middle and high school is doing it, only the cohorts are 10 or fewer in size.  Also, they are going two days a week with remote the other three. KC area school on KS side.

yeah this is a district to district issue. some schools are just overpopulated and it is not even remotely possible to do this.

Prioritizing schools would also mean providing more resources to open safely. The main way we can help schools is by controlling community spread. But making teachers and others feel safe at school is also key. This means requiring masks, yes, but also providing good PPE and, ideally, improving ventilation. It means better testing and screening — both symptomatic and asymptomatic — and money for substitutes. Financial woes have always been a part of the landscape of public schools in America, partly because this isn’t the first time we failed to prioritize them. This has made it worse.

Probably helps that Europe didn't have the Leader of the Free world screeching about the fake news china virus for months on end.

I supervise a school that does exactly this, well did. In the 6 weeks that they ran this plan no student or teacher missed a single day of school.

Those schools in Germany are staying open during the latest spike, we aren't.
