Agreed. I don't see a full week of in person school happening this fall. That was one of three options San Diego unified is offering. Not saying I agree with schools being closed, I just don't see them opening full day at this point
Time to Play
- Thread starter MicPaPa
- Start date
I'm hearing the same re football. Unless full practices start soon, there's no way to get teams game ready And with what's going on I don't see our governor allowing full contact no masks any time in the next few weeks. There's some discussion about maybe a truncated season starting in October for schools which feed to college recruiting, or maybe pushing the season into winter/spring (though that decision isn't favored because of multisport athletes).
For schools, our local district met yesterday and is leaning heavily into an option for parents of online only, or 2 days on 2 days off. The 2 days off will be homework due to staffing needs. Teachers get the 5th day to correct take home work and plan lessons. That seems the worst of both worlds for parents....risk having the kids drag it into the home, no effective child care, only ineffective learning. Despite the economic contraction, pretty much all the private and religious schools in our area are now at full enrollment and not taking anyone else except for a few slots here and there, but otherwise at capacity to make spaced learning possible.
As to the club soccer season, i only see a 1/4 chance of it happening at this point, though I'm not ready to say it won't as I'm still waiting to see how things play out over the 4th.
No, I am not sure. I am not trained in police duties and I wasn't at the scene.
Those statements were made by the other police officer on the scene who was watching the whole thing through the passenger window. You should ask him.
Crazy world we live in. I love California. Elections have consequences and we are the state we are because of how we voted as a state. You get what you vote for. Rules are made to be followed. Let's all challenge each to follow the rules. Once we get the rules down, we can look at the LAWS and then try and follow the Laws with the rules so we can finally have some Order.

No, you were the one that said volunteering his firearm was beyond what was required. That is an inaccurate statement from someone who is not knowledgeable on concealed carry requirements. You dont have to be trained in police duties to know that. So stop talking like you know what you are talking about.
All I did was quote the officer on the scene.

Can you take your GED at 16? That doesn't appear to be allowed (link below). However, the same thing can be accomplished by filing a PSA and homeschooling. You can take about 2/3 of a full load for free at a JC and fulfill HS UC and NCAA requirements for admittance while accumulating college credits. I assume you can take a full load if you pay tuition. Not saying it didn't happen - just genuinely curious if that's an option for 16 year olds.

- You must be within 60 days of your 18th birthday (regardless of school enrollment status).
- You are within 60 days of when you would have graduated from high school had you remained in school and followed the usual course of study. (Candidates testing under this criterion may not be enrolled in high school.)
- You are 17 years of age; have been out of school for at least 60 consecutive days; and provide a letter of request for the test from the military, a postsecondary educational institution, or a prospective employer. The letter is to be provided to a test administrator at a local Pearson VUE test center that delivers the GED® test for the administrator’s review and approval.

Yeah, it's possible under this one. If you take it at 16, that basically means you can't turn 17 late March, early April of your senior year at the earliest. That happens when kids start a year early or skip a grade somewhere along the line.

BTW, I'm not advocating taking your GED at 16 or 17. I'm saying you can work now at 16, take JC classes and take GED whenever the heck you like. I took it after basketball season was over my Sr year and went to work 40 hours a week at a warehouse and was making $200 a week. My goal was warehouse manager. This guy Phil was set to retire in 5 years and I was next in line at 18 years old. However, I was playing lots of hoops too. One day I was lifting a heavy box the wrong way and my back went out for the first time when I was 18 and I still have issues. My short dream of being warehouse manger went out the window. Now what? Well, one night I was feeling really really depressed with my life and all my pals from grade school were looking more and more smarter and I was a loser. I went to the Army and they said, "No." Now what? Whatever, the fact is if your going to be a Sr and you turn 18 in October, you can take the dam test and move on with your life.

What statements, you putz? I'm talking about exactly what I saw and heard on the dashcam video.

Why don't you watch the video yourself? Did you know it's all over the web?
These statements --
Philando Castile was not resisting or fleeing. There was absolutely no criminal intent exhibited by him throughout this encounter. He was respectful and compliant based upon the instructions and orders he was given. He volunteered in good faith that he had a firearm – beyond what the law requires. He emphatically stated that he wasn't pulling it out. His movement was restricted by his own seat belt. He was accompanied, in his vehicle, by a woman and a young child. Philando Castile did not exhibit any intent, nor did he have any reason, to shoot Officer Yanez.

I am all for choice. I wouldn't say I'm an advocate for taking the GED early either, but I believe for some it's the best route. One size does not fit all.
Thank you thank you. Let's take Jose for example. Jose turns 18 in December. Going to be his big Sr year coming up. He loves playing football with his friends in HS and this season was looking promising, but that's looking like a 90% chance of a "no way, Jose." Also, Jose was on the best baseball team last year and the team was having a season unlike any season in school history. That undefeated season was cancelled because of Corona. Now they want to offer online class his Sr year. Jose is no moss and is done with HS and will go work with his dad's essential business that is growing like crazy.

I asked my friend and he said he was 16 and I asked how he pulled that off and he sent me this.
Under rare special circumstances, a student may decide to take the GED at age 16. This occurs when a student has skipped several grades or has been accepted into a university program prior to high school graduation. In this case, the institution will request that the age requirement be waived and the student will submit an age-waiver application for the GED. The California Department of Education will decide whether or not to allow the student to take the exam. Acceptance into the program or college will be dependent upon passing the GED.
I think my friends son got busted and might have missed some school for being in Juvey for a year or so. You can take the GED at 16.
Under Armour looks to nix $280M deal with UCLA
Sports apparel company Under Armour is attempting to break a 15-year, $280 million contract with UCLA that took effect in 2017.
I woke up this morning.......
I think you can do JC early if your school gives permission for dual enrollment.
You can also do a PSA. Either way you can work towards getting enough credits to transfer, like Dre's daughter is trying.
