No Soccer - Bad / No School - Catastrophic!

Students are legally required to attend school, but not day care or summer camp. If they want to risk their lives voluntarily, that’s one thing. But when the options for many children who lack the ability to home school is either die of coronavirus or go to jail if you don’t, you have a rational basis. But just give children the option of attending online or in person you say? That is simply cost prohibitive for most schools, so more rational basis. Online is also not financially possible for many students who lack access to online resources which, ironically, would be the real equal protection problem.

Primary education is also fundamentally different than summer camp and day care. It is critically important that it be done right to the full extent possible, and splitting finite resources between online and in person screws everyone because they’re both half a**sed. I also have doubts about summer camp especially being a real issue since everyone is essentially similarly situated in that they get online school but no summer camp. It’s a little like a kid claiming there’s an equal protection problem because kids must attend school online but he can’t legally drink beer.

The scope is also much different in a way that makes the risk of transmission - and to a much larger group of people - monumentally higher. We would be looking at hundreds of thousands of more cases and six figure death increases if schools reopen, which is about as rational basis as it gets

Well that is one way to defend it. Wouldn't be surprised if parts of this make it into the defense. But that's a problem for the state because it means they have to prove the factual parts of your argument and not just have this particular claim dismissed on summary judgment. I'm not saying the lawsuit is a slam dunk (far from) just that one part of the lawsuit actually has an argument. The argument though will likely make youth sports impossible.

Valid argument and I don't doubt that would be the case, however, the public schools, or maybe rather the teachers, completely half-assed online learning this past spring without anyone attending in person. Maybe the online learning will be improved in the fall, but I'm not holding my breath. Personally, I'd rather have half-assed in person learning than half-assed online learning, but obviously neither is ideal.

All I can say is I’m grateful my kids are no longer in school. So much is known about this virus. Now doctor’s are seeing alarming lung damage in children. Want your soccer athlete to suffer from permanent lung damage? Glad I don’t have to agonize over these choices. https://cbs12.com/news/local/doctors-concerned-that-covid-19-may-be-harming-lungs-of-children

Seriously happy for you and Maps Im Tired. Maps dd timing was amazing. Got out in the nick of time. My dd got a bag of rocks with that GDA league after winning the Natty and now this virus :( One bad news after another it seems in club soccer. Article seemed to be about her speculation on what COULD happen. I do not speak as a Dr or health expert. I just read the article and her quotes and give my opinion. Please do not mistake me for an expert in Corona or club soccer.

Dr. Alina Alonso, director of the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County, says when some kids get coronavirus, the long-term effects are unknown. She’s worried enough about this that she shared her concerns with Palm Beach County commissioners.

“I’m very concerned in terms of the children because of that long-term damage," she said. "We have no idea what that will look like."

“In the five to 14-year-olds, when those children are examined, there are changes in the lungs that have occurred," she said. "We have no idea what the long-term effect of this will be."

COVID-19 may also affect the lungs of toddlers, according to Alonso. She says doctors are seeing changes in the lungs in chest X-rays, specifically in children ages zero to four.

“It might affect them in terms of chronic asthma or any other respiratory problems, so we gotta keep a close eye on that," she sad.

Online is financially possible. There are charter schools that are online. 100% free because they are publically funded. Are you talking about having a computer and internet access is not financially possible? Even then schools can loan out laptops and the state can provide assistance for educational needs if you are in an online charter school. Just have to do the research. You dont seem to know what you are talking about.

Apparently our wonderful Governor forgot to mention that there is an exemption for elementary schools but I am not sure whether that is just a carrot to ease people into the idea that all are doomed

Our governor sends his kids to a $25k per year private school... so, like everything else, he's not affected.

Stand up by doing what... posing for moronic pictures? A white boy would have kicked his fucking ass... so he found a toddler.

"Thise" who stand up aren't standing for anything. If they had any fucking backbone or self pride at all, they'd admit it's a desperate attempt to compensate for lack of achievement in society. If we've learned anything, it's that black lives don't matter to black people unless there's sympathy and money to be made.

The word for you and your ilk is pretend. Like expecting all of us to pretend Biden is of sound mind or protests are peaceful. In conjunction with pretend, you employ ignore...as in, ignoring the facts as seen and on the ground. In doing so, your little game is to apply false equivalency...the left is not, nor ever will be equal, you are less than...much less than.

its for private schools like the ones his kids go to that can afford mitigation meassures, good luck getting teachers unions on board for public schools.

edsource.org

California districts can seek waiver for elementary schools from ban on in-school instruction

County health directors would decide whether to allow small groups of students into schools or open up districts in remote corners of counties.

Yeah, like your middle aged overweight ass would be comfortable going into a bar, the size of a classroom, and have 30 patrons breath in your direction without masks for 50 minutes, 6X a day, 5 days a week.

Talk about TDS, Teacher Derangement Syndrome!

That's it? lame retort.
 
There's some evidence beginning to develop the southern outbreak is at or slightly past peak. Data coming out of Mexico seems to indicate the same. Recall I said a week ago Los Angeles was likely at it's peak +/- 2 weeks. Or course now we can argue if relocks did it or if this is just a natural progression, but if it's relocks it wasn't very serious ones and school closures had 0 impact.
