    I’m expecting something similar here.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      That's a shame Lucas will have to endure this for what should be his best year of school.

          No more free child care

          This will lead to the Golden Age of Families in the USA

            Due to Luke’s DE classes, he will take the 2 day in person option. We will skip the bus, however. Their plan is to limit to 1 per seat, every other row. They estimate that the 75 person buses will carry 11 people.

            Niiiice.

                        unless physical distancing and face covering recommendations are implemented with extremely high levels of consistency

                        Yup, the teachers won more days at home with pay for doing nothing

                        Because covid

                            Not to plug it again, but the NYT’s podcast The Daily had a good episode about school reopenings. Link below.

                            Anyway, @LuFins-Dad looks like Fairfax County is doing the same. The ripple effect this has throughout the region and workplaces is enormous!

                              Not sure this is true for all school districts in the US. In talking with some friends, the school may have remote learning, but the teachers are required to be in the building to do the remote teaching. For them, it will be a regular day schedule.

                                Right, every State, City and County make their own rules.

                                And the feds can threaten to take away money when they want to make some rules.

                                  Our Japanese foreign exchange student is coming in three weeks to stay with us again. Not clear why. As far as I know, she'll be taking online classes from her room here, rather than doing so from her room in Japan. But we'll take the money.

                                  Education is extremely important.

                                    True, Copper. But don't forget the average percentage from the feds is around 12%, mostly going towards Title I. So, it's not huge.

                                      @Copper Sorry to hear you have such a low opinion of teachers, Copper. All the teachers I know are working harder than ever to make learning still happen, no matter what situation we find ourselves in.
