The Sicatoka Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 A lot of "emperors" are been seen (exposed) right now. If I was in college, this'd be a great year to take off (work, find an internship). Why pay full tuition for YouTube classes? Parents are seeing what is really going on in the (virtual) K12 classroom. We see what and how various Governors like/use/enjoy* their "emergency executive powers". *I didn't say abuse ... did I ... or did I ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone explain to me how private schools are safe to be open, but public schools are not. Simplify it even further, how can a school district say it’s ok for kids to tackle one another on the football field but not sit in a classroom together? And one could make the argument based on facts that this year has proven so far at all levels that it has been safe for kids/adults to tackle each other on a football field. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus most private school parents take their child's education seriously and see it as an investment in their kid's future. Public education right now is a joke....and that's being generous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increased support of QAnon comes less than two weeks after Mr Trump appeared to endorse the theory at a White House press conference, saying he appreciates the movement's enthusiasm for his presidency.

TheFlop Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just now, Bison06 said: Ok...but they opened right? How many kids/teachers have been hospitalized? Teachers I've talked to in Grand Forks day that at any given time there are some teachers that have been knocked down by it pretty good for a couple of days. No teacher deaths and haven't heard of any hospitalizations. As for kids, if you ask around it's clear that many more kids have had it than the numbers show. However those kids have gotten at most a brief fever and some other short lived cold symptoms. In my opinion that's exactly what should be happening as it has for years. The "crud" is going through the school and if you give it another couple weeks you will have a herd immunity of sorts in the schools. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like a pattern is emerging from all of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Grand Forks, what was cobbled together with zero preparation last spring is a far cry from what goes on in a normal classroom. With proper preparation, planned distance learning can work, but for most students, it is nowhere near what they receive in the classroom. Not sure if you were directly stating that the quality of education kids were receiving virtually is any comparison to what they receive in the classroom, but I can assure you they aren't near the same outside of some very specific situations where both the student is bought into the distance learning and the instructor has had time to fully plan out the coursework and is able to work inividually with students. If either of those components are missing, it will be a failure. I've been very pleased GF schools have remained open and handled things appropriately to stay that way. Last night, the school board decided to go against their previous plan and leave the schools opens despite GF County being moved to red/severe, citing the minimal number of positives within the school district and the impact it would have on learning as reasoning. They will be re-evaluating late next week, hopefully numbers calm down a bit and kids can stay in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

District told teachers they can't fail any student even if the student does zero school work. Started last spring....now this year as well. Dumb and dumber. In law school this spring they implemented a similar policy. Basically if we showed up for the final, we got a passing grade. One of my classmates got a 2/50 on a core 1L class final and passed the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
