Start off in school- at least when the **** hits the fan AND IT WILL kids have met their teacher in person before seeing them through a screen*




* assuming the school district and student have the technology for that to work, the tech works, the student has a home structure that ensures they use it as instructed, etc.

Kids are the super spreaders for the regular flu every year so let’s let them go back to school and get the Covid so they can make things even worse.
Then we can completely shut down everything again when we have all the hospitals over capacity for the ones that are at risk. Not counting the teachers in quarantine. Sounds like a great plan since most kids would rather set in front of a screen playing video games anyway. Hate to say it but it’s a no win anyway they go with this. The Covid is just something no one was prepared for in this day of technology and science. Especially since they’ve now discovered that they probably will have adverse affects for the rest of their lives by getting Covid.

I was where Richie is about two weeks ago. I’ve moved on to quiet resignation that this is going on for a long long time.

We got chewed out by the judge today because some court employees were seen going into bathrooms (private) and side conference rooms (private) and pulling down their masks...while alone using the restroom or making a phone call. I just put my head down and took the scolding.

Chad, I’ll have a good number of golfing my ball takes for you by Monday.

Here’s an issue in FCPS. If a teacher gets it, there’s a quarantine. Even in the healthiest of years, there are not enough subs to go around which leaves administration scrambling to get classes covered. Then when a numerical threshold is reached for teachers and/or kids being out, school is called off which leaves parents scrambling. It happened with the regular old flu back in February. Delaying in-person at least lets families plan a little even if it sucks. I doubt we’ll ever see a time where elementary kids start in person but middle and high don’t.

For the record, as a parent and a teacher I voted for in-person because the hybrid plans would be a nightmare for us.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg is 87, in and out of the hospital, is once again actively fighting cancer, and refuses to retire. [laughing]


One of my favorite hatboggan LOLs is witnessing my panic stricken friends insisting she continue to sit on the Supreme Court, even if they have to prop her dead, rotting stinky, Weekend At Bernies corpse up on the bench, in order to preserve the entire American Democracy as we know it.


What kind of dumbass still works at 87 years old? Maybe the broad should have taken her 401(k) a little more seriously, or she wouldn’t have to.

Richie, I agree with pretty much your entire post. And I don’t have kids, so I can’t imagine what it’s like trying to figure out the school situation.

BUT, and I know the middle ground is no place to be in a discussion like this, is that at the end of the day you have to have hospital beds to take care of these patients. We’re surging again down here, and ICU capacity is creeping back up. Patients are being flown in from further and further away because their local hospitals are full.

I don’t have answers, but we can’t just unleash society again. People who would normally survive WILL die if that happens. Unnecessary death should never happen.

I appreciate teachers' concerns here, tbh. Even under the best of conditions, kids are germ-ridden monsters.

I don't. I mean, not anymore than health care professionals, bus drivers, in home services hvac/plumbers/electricians, restaurant workers, factory workers, call centers, farmers, meat packing plants, grocery store employees, etc, etc, etc. They're essential, and probably the most important essential employees we have. Kids are completely safe, the state literally has ONE, as in less than 2 more than 0, deaths under the age of 24. They're more likely to choke on a f*cking hot dog. They're not the super spreaders the media and politicians tried to scare us into believing. Countless studies have already shown this. More studies have show the damage to having them out of school is FAR greater than in.

So let the 50-60% who want to learn virtually stay home with any "at risk" teachers and get everyone back in 5 days per week. Don't allow teachers to mingle, keep kids in same groups, so if 1 group gets it you're not losing a whole school. I threaten my employees with everything I'm legally allowed to stay the f*ck away from each other. When someone tests positive they're off, you test the students, and get back to work. Just like every other business operating right now. We shut schools down all the time for flu and in this case, yes, flu is far more harmful to kids. We're talking about the safest possible group of people here.

I'm sure those scared teachers aren't hesitating to order their Starbucks, Amazon packages, and burn up click list.

This whole argument is absolutely insane to me.

If every business or essential service listed their "here's the issue" we'd all be at home. Ask bars, theaters, restaurants, hotels and airlines for their list of "here's the issue"? We're all dealing with that. Unfortunately, out in the real world if we don't adapt, and figure the out problem, we don't eat that night.

You like to give facts, I gave you some facts. It’s a realistic scenario. By the way, these ‘scared teachers’ you are mentioning have zero say on what actually happens, you know? We can survey and give opinions, but it’s not up to the people your kids are in contact with every day. It’s up to administrators who have to deal with bottom lines and covering the district’s ***.

I get the whole hospital bed angle, but is anyone tracking for individuals getting it a second time? This is what I’m generally curious about.

If I get it and live, will my body be less susceptible to it and better prepared? If so, then come on with it!

Up until last week I worked everyday and lived as if Covid didn’t exist. I got to say, actually carrying a mask and wearing and being conscious of this stupid illness is irritating AF.

Two days ago at Kroger I forgot to put the mask on and some bullitt county neck let me know I was a terrible patriot. Had my wife not been there reminding me it probably means more to that guy than it does myself I am sure I’d have said something to get my *** shot.

When scientific data is proving that the % chance of kids being able to spread the virus to each other and more importantly the % chance of kids being able to spread the virus to adults is as close to zero as physically and scientifically possible the benefits far outweigh the risks. Not to mention as I said before the harmful collateral damage of not having in person schooling.

Goddamit. That's called life, pal. I'm sorry you have to educate our children under not optimal situations. That must be so difficult.

You think the barista at Starbucks has a say? How about the poor f*cker working at a real super spreading place like a meat packing plant? They have a say? My tech that goes into a hoarders' house that smells of dirty monkey **** in the middle of a pandemic(actual spider monkeys) has any say? Amazon workers thought they had a say, guess what? they got fired. Hey Catholic, do you have any say in who you treat tonight? Bernie, how's those masks coming?

No.

I’m just trying to figure out why you’re so mad at teachers who have little to no say about if we go into work next month or not. I haven’t complained about any of it and even said I voted for in-person. If you’re basing your anger off of Facebook posts by teachers you know, they don’t speak for all of us.

I have no answers on the schools. As someone with no kids, I can’t tell a parent what to think. In my personal opinion, I think they should be open; but I can’t tell someone what to do with their kid when I have none of my own.

When I say “unleash society” I mean go back to normal pre-COVID days: no masks, no social distancing, bars open, Broadway free for all, concerts, sports, etc. There are plenty of people fighting to go back to a world without any restrictions.

You're right, I'm taking it out on you. I apologize. I'm really frustrated by the schools portion. It's the most essential government service and it's driving me insane because Trump/Biden have now made it more important to fight over than actually figure out.

BTW, teachers have unions. Very, Very powerful unions. I'm not losing sleep over their voice.

Fair enough. The KY teachers union is a loud voice but not nearly as much as other states. We’ll see what they have to say when/if a major district decides to go back to full in-person. They did survey their members last week and supposedly presented those results to someone. Haven’t heard any more since then.

It’s a complete cluster**** all around and, like you said, now that it’s political, that’s not getting better anytime soon.

True, but the number of teachers who wanted Bevin out far outnumbered the union rolls. And all of that sick-out nonsense was started by grassroots (I hate that term) efforts and the union jumped in later.

Teacher's unions are a real hoot.

The Los Angeles Teacher’s Union is one of the largest in the state, and the “United Teachers Los Angeles” say public schools should not reopen unless their demands are met.

Their demands include implementing a moratorium on private schools, defunding the police, increasing taxes on the wealthy, implementing Medicare for all, and passing the HEROES Act, which allocated and additional $116 billion in federal education funding to the states.

The unions demands also took aim at charter schools.

The United Teachers Los Angeles union says these policies must be implemented on both the state and national level before reopening schools.

Enjoy, kids!

Funky is an A+ person and I’m certain that translates into him being an awesome teacher too. I respect his opinion on the situation because he is dealing with it from both sides real life. What I do not respect is the Facebook hen teachers who think if you want your kid in school it’s based off strictly political reasoning. I hate trump and Biden almost equally and to suggest anyone would send their kid into a “death camp” to prove a political point can diaf
