C.D.C. Draws Up a Blueprint for Reopening Schools (Published 2021)
Amid an acrid national controversy, the agency proposed detailed criteria for returning students to classrooms.www.nytimes.com
And their objections are based on nothing:
Covid: Teachers 'not at higher risk' of death than average
The highest-risk job roles were in restaurants, care work and manufacturing.www.bbc.com
Oh look what we have here...
More than a dozen Oakland schools won’t reopen as planned after teachers choose not to return
District officials had to rescind reopening plans at six elementary schools Thursday,...www.sfchronicle.com
More than a dozen Oakland elementary schools and preschools will not reopen as planned Tuesday after the majority, if not all, teachers at the sites opted not to return until required to do so in mid-April, despite an $800 incentive and prioritized vaccinations.
Yeah, we're getting close to a Reagan-esque air traffic controller moment (obviously at the state level) before too long.
We also have the VP laughing hysterically when discussing struggling parents who aren't able to send their kids to school.
Yikes, not a good look. Politicians (for the most part) are woefully out of touch with everyday people. This isn't news. Somebody posted something on another thread about using a lottery to choose elected officials (like all registered voters or something). I don't think it could be worse than what we have.
From the AP article: "White students continued to be far more likely to be back in the classroom, with 52% of white fourth graders receiving full-time, in-person instruction. By contrast, less than a third of Black and Hispanic fourth graders were back at school full time, along with just 15% of Asian students."

I'm all for having as many educational opportunities as possible, but not ongoing b/c of COVID-19. It makes sense to learn from the past year or so and use that knowledge in situations where distance is a problem (think Alaska, or other sparsely populated states/districts) or where providing online education provides value (think college).Online Schools Are Here to Stay, Even After the Pandemic (Published 2021)
Some families have come to prefer stand-alone virtual schools and districts are rushing to accommodate them — though questions about remote learning persist.

Perhaps happiness would be a better measuring stick?Is rich anyone that's got more money than you have?
That's true.... it's just interesting how people define rich when talking in terms of money. To one person 1 million is rich, to another person it takes 2 million, etc. But to some it's anyone that has more money than they have. I was just razzing mm66 ... he's fun to pick on.
I was doing the same and money does make happiness easier with out a doubt. Time is the one thing you really can't buy so spending it all to have more money and by no means referring to M66 at all but in general.That's true.... it's just interesting how people define rich when talking in terms of money.
