That is too funny! M&M’s is still pissed that they don’t teach cursive anymore.

The way our civilization has advanced, two-thumb typing is way more important then cursive writing anyway. Do they still offer typing class? Have the adapted it to focus on two-thumb typing?

So what, specifically, is the plan when a teacher gets Covid? How about students? Food handlers?

It would be interesting to know how many schools simply haven’t figured it out yet.

This might be the most accurate thing I have seen on the subject.

We’ll see by Halloween how predictive this is.

[Mik]

yes, we will. it is difficult to see it being successful.

[Copper]

What is the goal?

Zero get infected?

OK, then never open anything.

A few get infected?

Open some things.

I can't remember where I saw it (North Clackamas School District?) but the "plan" was something like if 3 kids test positive the entire school shuts down again for 14 days.

Sounds like a bumpy ride.

Yikes`

[taiwan_girl]

Wow - almost no mask in site!!

[Rainman]

Curious as to why they start school so early. Private school maybe?

[Copper]

The crops are in the field.

They'll need time off at harvest.

[jon-nyc]

Some places just start early. When we were in NC they started mid-August.

In AZ they start crazy early.

[Jolly]

If schools don't open, people can't work.

It's that simple.

Sonetimes, the hide goes with the hair.
