The are other topics more appropo for your demographic. Oh I see. So we are excluded from the conversation? Our ideas are to be ignored? So what if your school’s superintendent or board member didn’t have children? Would you pull your kids from the school?

Someone else paid that burden when you went to school, whether you went to public school or not. Now you're paying it back. Horseshit, it doesn’t work that way. Because people stole from my parents doesn’t somehow forward justify the theft of my labor. My money, taken at the barrel of a gun, pays for your kids to go to school. This makes me a stake holder. Don’t like it? Then stop making me an interested party through forced investment. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do...3 but I don't have to worry about it much since my wife (a former teacher) homeschools my kids. Best decision we ever made for our kids. And those who worry about the social aspect, don't bother...they are actively involved in sports, church functions and other clubs to keep them around their friends (obviously before COVID) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you’ve not over exerted yourself. ? School opens in a few weeks you damn well better be there getting this figured out. So I’m an idiot? Pardon me for coming up with ideas. What a whiner you are. I guess it’s from hanging around with children. Take it easy on the man, Jim. He worked 7 whole hours.

I've never taken it upon myself to work outside of my daily work hours to plan and prepare for my clients. And yes we both have clients. His are children mine act like them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd always warn them about folks like you are about labels and shaming people for having an opinion. #suffragebro 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because I work more than 7 hours a week and don't have time to read your whining diatribes I've either lost or am trolling. Nah I'm busy working this summer and the past four months.

You'll all figure it out sometime. Hopefully before little Billy hits 21. And it's funny you said I lost the argument. I wasn't arguing. You were.

Seems like everything you read and hear is that they are not at risk at all and don't even contribute heavily to its spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 21 hours ago, Gene Frenkle said: Yeah, I have one in high school and one in middle school. I'm undecided on this, but I'd prefer they err on the side of caution. I'd also like for this to not be politicized like masks and various drugs, but it seems like we're too late for that. The sensationalism is amplified by the fact that this is occurring in an election year. My personal take is, I think, if you don't have any skin in the game, stay out of the debate. The states, teachers and parents should decide if and when. Why not let the math and logic decide it vs the politics? Because then people can't hide from the fact that in all likelihood more students will die from suicide during a lockdown then will die from Covid if we open up and use common sense. The states that are staying shut are more interested in stopping Trump then educating their kids. The death rate of Covid in those under 25 is literally less than the suicide rate and it is not close. Please stop with health concern for students because you are either promoting your ignorance or promoting your politics over logical beliefs. https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/06/23/coronavirus-covid-deaths-us-age-race-14863 Shows 150 under 25 died of Covid while the under 25 average over 6000 suicides. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read every single one of your ideas. Most of them I asked you questions rather than outright dismissing them. Heck I think you had some good ideas actually. I just followed up with questions like, for one, how do you pay for it? Believe me, I'm okay and will be doing my part in the classroom and through distance learning to help my students. As someone who clearly cares immensely about children without having any of his own and without being in a profession that even interacts with them, I think you should get involved a bit more. Bring your good ideas to your local school board, for starters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
