Your information on whether kids can spread covid is out of date.
Kids can spread covid. Young ones are inefficient, but still transmit. older than 15 transmit the same as adults.
If it were zero, you’d be right. But it isn’t zero.

And quite honestly, a lot of money in that area- people are fine with hiring their own private, (fully credentialed,) teachers and creating a classroom in their home. So school closures do not bother them nearly as much.
Excellent honesty and great take on the current issue.
I appreciate that this individual has seen the light, but what kind of upside down world do we live in that we have to cheer and promote the obvious? It's insane to me that some adults have been so manipulated by fear, and so selfish about their own personal well being, that we've kept our schools closed. Any governor that didn't reopen their schools last September should fry in hell along with the union "leaders" that fought reopening schools. It's unconscionable.Preach it and amen! Double everything in here for youth sports.

I call BS. Schools were failing kids in my community before Covid and nobody cared. There is not one letter league elite soccer club along hwy 80 from Vallejo to Oakland and no one cares. School closures due to Covid is a distinction without a difference for my community. Private corporations have been building prison for these kids for decades and no one expects them to go to college.Preach it and amen! Double everything in here for youth sports.

This article is referring to middle class problems because the rich OC crowd and fat cats like @dad4 kids have not missed a beat.

Disappointed. I expected nuanced analysis from you but all you offer up is bogus conclusions. Grow a pair and elaborate.
And in some of the most expensive zip codes in that area (Peninsula/Silicon Valley), the public schools have been open (hybrid) for elementary school students and some middle school students since last October or so. While across the freeway in East Palo Alto and the poorer zip codes, those districts remain closed.

One of the reasons schools fail is because they don't focus on the basics anymore.
"The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) recently encouraged teachers to register for training that encourages "ethnomathematics" and argues, among other things, that White supremacy manifests itself in the focus on finding the right answer.
An ODE newsletter sent last week advertises a Feb. 21 "Pathway to Math Equity Micro-Course," which is designed for middle school teachers to make use of a toolkit for "dismantling racism in mathematics." The event website identifies the event as a partnership between California's San Mateo County Office of Education, The Education Trust-West and others.
Part of the toolkit includes a list of ways "white supremacy culture" allegedly "infiltrates math classrooms." Those include "the focus is on getting the 'right' answer," students being "required to 'show their work,'" and other alleged manifestations.
"The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so," the document for the "Equitable Math" toolkit reads. "Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict."
Easy on OC bro. This County has changed for the better. Nocal dude was here when me and my pal Bruno worked Pacific Coast Hhwy from San Clemente to Seal beach ((LA Too)) back in early 90s. We sold Sparkletts Dre to all the businesses in Socal. It didnt matter if you had a white business, black, latino or Asian business, me and Bruno would try and sell you our awesome water service. The only thing we didnt do was actually deliver the water. That was some other guys job and he usually tore his back up. One time as we were leaving after a 10 cooler close, the boss lady who switched over to us from Arrowhead had to ask the dreaded Q. "Which one of you nice guys are going to be our delivery guy?" Oh shit, now what? I told the truth about some other driver who would be contacting her and she ripped up the agreement, no joke. Bruno was so mad at me and told me to keep my big mouth shut. I lost a sale for being honest bro, can you imagine that? She only switched over because Bruno was a stud and she wanted Bruno to be her delivery boy, trust me. You cant make this stuff up. We helped each other Dre go through socal and we won all the time. We stole accounts from Arrowhead all day long. Their 5 gal bottle of "Spring" water was sold for $8.00. I went in and offered $6 a bottle. 20 bottles a month, I save you some serious $$$$.

Good initiative but bad judgment. I call BS on this one too.

What is exactly good about this initiative?
What does white supremacy have to do with getting an answer correct? Or showing work?

Honestly, what else is there? You and I have been dancing this dance for awhile...my pair is just fine and there is not much left to elaborate on.
It basically boils down to...I believe the core issue is individual responsibility and you believe it is group victimhood...but sure, I guess we can nibble around the edges a bit if you'd like.
So when you say "no one expects them to go to college" isn't that expectation primarily set by "your community"? Do the kids in "your community" who study hard, get good grades, and pursue college mostly get labeled as acting white...amongst other more hurtful names?

It’s good that someone is taking initiative to address underperforming students. The solution proposed is garbage and maybe even biased to suggest folks of African descent can’t excel at math especially when the origins of mathematics goes back to Africa.
And half a million people have died because people like you couldn’t get your s**t together for even two months of this pandemic.
Math is insane to shove down 90% of the kids. I sure hope that subject gets fixed. Have top top math classes for the top top students who need to know math. The others can take a class with Dad and he can teach the kids how to value hard work and reward from hard work. Teach value of helping others and the true ROI from that. Learn to save for a rainy day fund like Copa said to do. Learn to not buy more then you can afford. Dont get into debt. Dont get cc on your first day on campus.
Well, it looks like Newsom added the CDC to his conspirators to help him sabotage the economy for his own personal benefit.

Isn't that the problem though? So many "solutions" seem to focus on things not related to providing a good eduction.
Why do you think anyone should be taking advice about our educational system from you? You put your kid on the “non-math track” of becoming a professional soccer player when she was in middle school.
