What is your School Doing so far regarding sports?

I mentioned the beaches because I saw it first hand. Of course all the stupid and selfish people, including the Black Lives Matter protesters are involved as are all the stupid kids gathering in parking lots to get together at Ladera Middle School, and the McDonalds parking lot and the stupid parents who knowingly allowed it. Also the guy who told me he doesn't care when I offered him my just sanitized cart and he didn't have a face mask on (I was more than six feet away) , the idiot at the car wash sitting there with the mask under his mouth, all the idiots going into markets with their masks under their chin, all the people enjoying a meal at a restaurant but are drunk and laughing and almost yelling to be heard (I was told this by a family member). There are so many instances it is absolutely ridiculous. There is really no surprise in what has happened. I mention the children because so many parents are freaking out thinking their children can't handle this. I have said before, if your child has a mental illness, is severely depressed, seek help. Contact your school district, the county or a private medical provider and get your child the help he/she might need. This virus is a monster but we will eventually have better treatments and maybe a vaccine. Some of the best minds in the world are working on it. In the mean time, put the mask on, social distance and wash your hands correctly. Also, if you have a mental illness or are severely depressed seek help.
If it such a monster, what happened to the homeless people? are they dying in the streets? Also, is Newsom the only Governor in US history to lead over canceling Youth Sports and School? I think he is...easily could go down as a disaster for teenagers and parents.....

OC Facts!!!!
Thank you for the public safety announcement Copa. Attention all those in Ladera Ranch and anywhere now. The Copa police is out in force to look for any idiot kids and their stupid parents. Her family memebers will report back to Copa so Copa and let us know about the monster virus. Let's look at the Death Math ((DM) in OC. The news on death from Covid is excellent folks!!! The fact is, we dont get the info yet but we will soon.
  • 85 and older: 32% (134)
  • 75-84: 26% (112)
  • 65-74: 18% (75)
  • 55-64: 13% (53)
  • 45-54: 8% (34)
  • 35-44: 2% (10)
  • 25-34: 1% (5)
  • 18-24: >1% (1)
  • 0-17: 0%

424 deaths in OC as of July 13th. 321 over 65 and of those 321, 212 were in a nursing home. 103 deaths that had Covid when they died. Copa or Keepermommy or any mommy or Dr, how many of the 103 deaths died because they got Covid and they were perfectly healthy? How many of those came in from something else and then died? I need numbers to help my brain make decisions.....

Each and every day with common sense science data, we all can see that this is about the election, ALL POLITICS!
 
You are correct, those at risk should stay away. So for teachers, that's a pretty big number, apparently

maybe 18%, https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2020/05/07/teachers-at-higher-risk-for-covid-19-worry.html

or 25%, https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-cov...serious-illness-if-infected-with-coronavirus/

IDK which
So have the 18% or 25% do online courses for those parents who don't want/need/scared/whatever...put their children in a live class.

Instead of having people say impossible...kids cant go back to school. Look at data and set up a plan that works for various groups.
 
OC Board of Education voted to open up last night but they have zero say. My dd school sent out email today that said they will follow the health pros of Cali and not board of Ed. We will respect the guidelines.
 
O.C. Board of Education approves recommendation to reopen schools without masks or increased social distancing

Interested I don't know if the school districts will follow the recommendation, do they have choices or how do things work in OC? Making no judgements either way just curious more than anything.

Similar for us, Diocese of San Bernardino for my daughter's Private High School has outlined and voted to open with guidelines modeled after CDC recommendations, but will wait word from San Bernardino County Office of Public Health approval. I anticipate they will start back up with distance learning for the Fall.

School districts individual "choice" based upon what the teachers' union will allow, and/or barter for.

I sure hope OC have a choice and will make it right for the kids. At least until Nov 3rd. we still live in a free country.

From the OC Register: "The board has no power to direct any of Orange County’s 27 school districts to follow its guidelines, which are in direct opposition to those issued by the Orange County Department of Education, state public health officials and others."

Frankly I'm quite confused on what the purpose of last night's meeting was. My school district had to clarify publicly today that they will not be following last night's non-binding recommendations.

I most definitely want my kids back in school in the fall. But we can't be simplistic about it. We need a plan. My point was that its less about the risk to the kids and more about the risk to the adults (teachers and all the support staff) - aside from any indirect risks.

The most infuriating thing, to me, about this is the clear lack of leadership from the White House, through Congress and through the States. There is nothing but bumbling and reacting, inconsistency and lack of thought.

The number of teachers at risk and what they teach will differ from school to school. Each school should self assess, roll it up to their district, roll it up to their state and someone can then start to formulate a clear plan of action with all the resources available to them (in that state). That should have started in March for the next school year.
 
If it such a monster, what happened to the homeless people? are they dying in the streets? Also, is Newsom the only Governor in US history to lead over canceling Youth Sports and School? I think he is...easily could go down as a disaster for teenagers and parents.....
The homeless population is in most cases, being housed in hotels, motels. Those who don't want to go have been given tents, hand sanitizer, soap and water and are being checked on. A lot of the homeless don't socialize as much as the general public. You don't see the homeless in gyms, hair salons, restaurants, bars, museums, movies, markets, car washes, barber shops, at protests, nail salons, should I go on?

The situation in March was a totally unexpected event. Nobody was prepared for what happened. Point in fact most school districts started working on a plan for the fall, surveying parents, teachers, staff, health officials when the shut down occurred. Teacher groups have been working all summer to establish better options, structured, consistent curriculum and mechanisms for accountability, grading and attendance for distant learners. Everyone hoped we would be in a better position by the opening of school in August. Districts are trying to do what is safe for children, teachers and staff and at the same time keep parents happy, health officials informed and parents with options where possible. LAUSD is unique in that it has about 600,000 students spanning 720 square miles, with over 57 different languages being spoken by students. Anyone who thinks their task is easy is, to be blunt, stupid and uninformed. Parents have some difficult decisions to make but it looks like there will be options at most school districts. Nobody wants this virus, and in fact I agree with you in that from the start the White House completely and totally mishandled everything.

I work in DTLA, so say they don’t socialize is a gross understatement to be honest. No they aren’t in bars, but they are in communities and wonder throughout their areas visiting each other, sharing needles, cigarettes and booze. I see it everyday.
 
Yes that's why I participated and referenced the challenges that have been brought up.

I even volunteer to help out with supplies and logistics in the mornings, if we all work together and pitch in it's doable but not easy and I don't think our school is going to be handle it without outside help.
That’s the government for ya.
 
I told my buddy in LA about what one of the newbies here told me about how he can refuse service to anyone he deems fit and can charge accordingly. Price gauging is illegal in California. He said to let everyone on here if you need a plumber in LA to PM me. His prices are the same as they were before Corona and he would never take advantage of a customer because he can. That is short term thinking ha said and a business killer, if you have to compete with other competitors.
With so many buddies why the hell are you here?

I cant see them and most came from my religious days in church. I have friends from my naughty days, church days and my free thinker days. I came here to share my feelings and they come with personal life stories. Plus, I love all of you. i do not want problems and violence. i love EOTL, Messy, Outlaw, you and all the whole gang. Fact is back and so is Lastman. I was super competitive but I really do care that kids don;t get messed over by selfish adults. Were all back where it started a year ago when i came on here. I also forgive all of you. I hope you can forgive me too. I love you all!!! Chase the light and be the light. Darkness is not happy as we can all see.

That's what happened in the majority of cases, but I note that's not true in the minority. I picked up on what was going to happen in mid February (got clued in by one of the private schools my son was applying to when the question came up from a parent, and I called a doctor at work the next day)....the next day (the same day I cancelled our spring break trip) I demanded a meeting with DYS's principal and we had a plan in place ready to go....I missed the school closures by 4 days but it was enough to push up our time table so we only missed 1 day of instruction. Of the private middle schools my son applied to 2/3 were ready to go day 1 and one's rollout was shaky and the plan needed to be adjusted at spring break but they were on top of it and off and running (my alma matter, a Catholic school, still was planning a welcome reception the day before the schools shut down). Las Virgenes Unified School District was also prepared and off and running. Our local public school district (despite my having tipped them and was ignored and despite the CDC warning) had no plan in place. Then for weeks they said they couldn't offer instruction because of equality concerns and the government hadn't given them an instructions on how to handle IEPs and ESL (following the theme of experts lying to us to keep us in line).

So it's not like you couldn't see this coming. People did. If you are going to hold Trump to account for the horrible response, you have to equally hold the school and state leadership to account, because the CDC was issuing warning signals about this and it was enough for some people to put together plans relatively quickly. The statement nobody was prepared for what happened is patently on its face false.

Every business owner I know ((I know a few Sherrif)) had to figure out how to open. X here and X there and then open. Wear a mask and innovate. I know many schools that had a plan and I know some unified ones who had a different plan all along. It's simple is as simple is.......

As we prepare to go into the fall semester, we are looking for ways to improve our children's education through distance learning as this seems to be the only choice. Although our schools and teachers put lots of efforts forwards, I didn't see great results. They are looking for feedback as to how to improve in order to better assist students. What are your schools doing that is making it successful in the distance learning program for junior high and high school students?
 
I think I have a new business model.
I am going to set up a big screen at our local park. Kids can bring their own chair and do their school work at the park. I'll mark off 6 foot boundaries in each direction. $10 per kid, per day.

Then as soon as the session has ended, all of the kids can pile into a car and go to a restaurant for lunch together. I bet I could even get a discount and/or kickback from local restaurants for suggesting kids eat there.
