Refusing to return to work kind of nullifies the, "look how important we are" speeches. Also, no, I certainly didn't read that trash.

Systems.private schools are not "districts"
that's when the political motivation becomes the plausible explanationIf healthcare workers haven't stopped working much. If grocery clerks can continue to work. If daycares can continue to work. If colleges can go back to a degree. There's no reason why schools can't go back reasonably.
How are the students?I teach at a Catholic school in Tennessee. Our diocese went with the parent choice option, however most chose to come back. Kids/staff have to wear masks at all times, dividers on the desks, hand sanitizer everywhere, checking student temperatures every morning, and teachers are rotating classrooms instead of the students. We started Monday so we'll see how it goes long term.
I love and miss Kentucky...but man, I'm glad I'm not teaching there right now.
They're excited to be back among friends but they were pretty shocked at all the new rules. I have to remind them to stay socially distanced and to pull their masks up over their noses, but other than that they're adjusting to it for the most part. I think most would rather follow these rules than be virtual again.How are the students?
Awesome. Good luck.They're excited to be back among friends but they were pretty shocked at all the new rules.

We had an influx of enrollment because the local school district announced they weren't going back in person until after Labor Day. Parents wanted their kids in school so they signed them up here.

Why would they? Re-entry and non-symptomatic/non-direct exposure testing is asinine.
I know 1 16 year old that OD'd survived. I know several who dabble in drugs and others who are/have been cutters. I'm 38 and been a quadriplegic from the age of 1. I'm usually upbeat and my faith is strong, but this time has definitely been mentally/emotionally the hardest time.

I see the Ethical SKeptic Army is expanding. Glad to have one here in Kentucky.Really, really good article giving context to the overall risk of COVID.

Cumberland county school board overturns superintendents decision to bend the knee to the government
Thanks. I'm just a guy. Not perfect just living the life God gave me. The kids with autism and other special needs being basically just cut off from any services kills me. I did my research ASD. The lockdowns are brutal on them.Your posts are inspiring and I am sure you are a blessing to many who rely on your strength during this mess.
Tweet that to ole andy! Or I will lolThis message board obviously skews right but we're at 91% for back to school or parents choice. Lex Public Schools were reportedly at 73% with their survey with similar numbers in Lou and NKY.
Floyd County Indiana, massive school district, had 80% of students report to school, 3 cases with 3 classes quarantined until Monday.
At Tuesday’s GCCS school board meeting, Superintendent Mark Laughner said 58 staff members and 210 students were in quarantine. Those figures account for 4% of the district’s staff and 3% of all students attending in-person classes.
“To me, that speaks to the fact that our students, our staff are doing a good job with this,” Laughner said during the meeting. “When you look at the number of cases we’ve had with essentially 7,300 students attending in person, to have that situation is not too bad. They’re managing it pretty well.”
BIG one just in.

How school boards resolve the local outcome of b-sheer's politics will be determined by their own. Any school board, even in the most rural and conservative areas, comprised largely of retired public educators is unlikely to shrug him off.
The people won't stand for this much longer. The more counties that do it, the less likely one will just cave to Andy's tantrums. Kids need school!
Denver seems worried. Lol. Read the whole thread. Begging parents not to hire teachers or use pods.
Isn't it a joke?Here is the complete release:

The district losing the money that follows your child is their biggest concern, number 1 of 8 bullet points.
Class sizes will be even bigger if your child isn’t enrolled.
By not enrolling your children, class-sizes will grow and teacher positions could be eliminated due to the loss in funding.
Frankly I’m surprised that they haven’t mandated a $10,600 education licensing fee to be able to educate your children without their input.
For the children’s safety.
It's absolutely a battle ground right now. Might even be changing the political landscape too. There are a lot of California folks really mad at gavin Newsom and his bowing down to the teachers union.With the silo'ing of media / social media, it is hard to get a true read of general consensus any more.
Thatsaid --> it certainly *feels* like the issues with re-opening schools is going to be the tipping point where the populace finally tells the government to shove this COVID shit up its collective ass and demands to get back to some sense of normalcy.
I think you all underestimate how low the media will go. Seems that hospitalizations are Andy’s new scare tactic.
If people don't panic the first time a kid gets sick with strep or flu or something, you'll start to see a bigger backlash from parents in districts that didn't open. A month from now, here in Kentucky, will be interesting. If the in person counties and catholic schools do well, the floodgates will open.Catholic School in Nashville area and my son has already been 7 days. So far so good; they have done an excellent job with a plan and with communication. He is in Kindergarten, so he absolutely needed to go. I don't see how the youngest school-aged children can do anything online.
But for older students or people with other situations, I don't see why a hybrid model wouldn't be a bad idea; everyone is different.
