Let the Principals & Teachers Decide

It's in response to the assertion that even if all kids are removed from the classrooms,/gatherings, it's still better if a lot of them are. There's no rational basis for that assertion, but if we are all going to be irrational, let's be irrational....I'd rather have the schools open than pretty much anything else besides medical services, the police and fire, and food. It's an idiotic argument in response to an idiotic assertion to point out the flaws is said assertion. But if we are there to the point where schools should be closed, well then we should be in relockdown until it's safe to open the schools.
But yes, I'd put my record up against Fauci's. I can even pitch better than he can apparently.

I will vouch for your prediction record, Grace, but the pitching? It is such a low bar.
I find it hard to believe that you would put your judgment up against Fauci's unless you are defending a political stance.
Wow, I just saw that. I like the mask and the logo he had on but that throw, yikes!!!. He's a cool expert and is not always right. I looked back at all the videos of his and of others who down played the mask. It's weird. Nice guy he is.
1. He's been awful in all this. Wrong several time and a history of telling half-truths. In fairness, lot's of others have been horrible.
2. Yes, his expertise is far greater than mine but that's one of the problems we have and why we are in the mess we are in. My record is simply better than his. Whether I'd put my judgment up against his depends on what the question is.
3. On the subject of deferring to the experts, I've written this before. I have a highly drug resistant bacterial infection right now. The doctors gave me some really bad advice for treating it. If I had listened to the experts and not questioned what they were telling me, my kids would have been burying me this last week. It was only because I used my own logic and reasoning that I'm alive right now.
I don’t feel sorry for your predicament. If you can’t handle your HS child spending a semester studying online, you lack intestinal fortitude. You’re acting like the very lives of our HS students hang in the balance if they can’t attend school in person for one semester at most - although the lives of many teachers and students also actually do hang in the balance if they attend in person. Is your child going to get as good an education online? Maybe not for you since you prefer to spend your time whining instead of movng forward, although I know mine will because I will take responsibility for helping find success. And I don’t have a bad attitude that will inevitably rub off on them.
Your point of view is unpersuasive and frankly pathetic. Get your s**t together. Woman up.

Interesting. I taught in South Florida (Broward County) in the early 90's in a Magnate School - sort of a school within a school. Schools "competed" for kids throughout the county to be part of the program. If a kid got in, they were bused to the school - "voluntary" busing. Many of the Magnate schools were located in disadvantaged neighborhoods and the Magnate Program brought in some very high performing students.
Is it wrong that I didn't really remember this until you prompted it, but I did remember RJ's landing on Fort Lauderdale beach where on Fridays from 3:00P-4:00P, drinks were free and from 4:00-5:00 they were $1?
Hmmmm...I'd say the same to the teacher's union.
In any case, it's not going to be a semester. When all is said and done it will be close to a year, because children won't be prioritized either for the vaccine.
Your self-pity is very impressive. But I really think you should turn that frown upside down and show a little optimism. I mean, Americans are so stupid in general that we’re doomed without a vaccine, but I think there are enough smart people out there to crank one out sooner than you think.

I attended Lincoln Park Academy Magnet in the ghetto of Ft. Pierce in St Lucie county. Most of the affluent kids were bussed from Port St. Lucie.
The regular kids in St Lucie County had involuntary busing. I believe Port St Lucie made national news in 1992 due to skinhead protest over the poor mostly minority kids being bussed to Port St. Lucie HS.
When I returned to CA, teachers from my magnet school pulled some strings and were able to get me into Mission San Jose H.S. in Fremont, CA
lol How did you forget RJ’s?

Pay teachers more.
Maybe that's their angle since people who don't work seemed to get paid more now.

Not really, integration would be great but we can't do that with white racist democrats like joe biden preventing it. Attack this from all sides, homeschooling, private school vouchers even if only for low income families, charter schools, or integration through busing that biden prevented. Lets do all the above. The unions are preventing all the above thanks to white racist liberals like biden.

Are you saying the documentary is fake news? That Obama is wrong for expanding charter schools? The cory booker is wrong for pushing charter schools? Which is it?

You're afraid to watch.
4. Fauci today was caught in the bleechers of the basegame (regular folks don't get to do that), not socially distancing up there, and with his mask off. I had to drop off the car to get serviced for Utah last weekend while I still had my infection. Sat in the park for 2 hours in 90 degree heat while I waited for it. Got very dehydrated because I couldn't drink anything. When I went to pick it up, they lost my car and had me standing in the sun in a mask for 20 minutes. I happily wore the mask, didn't take it off or let it poke under my nose...around the 15 minute mark I got light headed and went boom down onto the pavement. Scuffed up my hand and thankfully didn't hit my head. I did a better job than Fauci with the mask

Like I said, white racist liberals like biden that prevented integration of schools are catering to teachers unions for $$$. Black democrats that actually care about minorities like Obama and cory booker pushed charter schools.

Definitely didn't forget RJ's. What I didn't recall was that we actually had busing that desegregated - at least to some extent. From my limited experience down there, I thought it worked well. It was my favorite experience in teaching.
Damn, 1992 - I was about 1.5 hours south, but I can't say I remember the protest. At that age those weren't the "social issues" that had my attention. I was blissfully ignorant.
Seriously? You were out and about, getting your car serviced, while infected with Covid-19. Lucky car mechanics. Have you checked in on them? Did they catch your "infection?" Did anyone get your infection who sat in the park bench after you were gone? No offense, but can't you look in the mirror and see that this is the kind of selfishness that has gotten us so mired in this mess in the first place??
You have no idea whether Fauci was with family members, or had taken a rapid test just that day (which he probably does often). My guess is he was most assuredly NOT infected when this photo was taken. Meanwhile, you do know that, you, yourself, were out and about all over town while you were most certainly, infected. Can you not see the hypocrisy here? May be best not to comment in your case.
