Why keep arguing, NO FALL SOCCER!

Apparently, for reasons not to be discussed here, there's not going to be any pro soccer tonight (or baseball or basketball, but basketball might be out for longer).

Incredible right. And for reasons not to be discussed here, when they decide to play, after they have solved all of our problems, I won't watch them. I know it's not a dent or significant in any way, but it makes me feel good, just like not playing makes them feel good.

But back to youth soccer and school in CA - hopefully you guys make some headway and are able to move forward in prudent manner. Seems like the masses are ready for it.

You can keep regurgitating your analogy as much as you want but the numbers and situation here in Texas remains. I loved to stay and chat but I have to drive my DD to her team training. They're getting ready for a tune-up scrimmage this weekend in prepeartion for the beginning of the Texas ECNL season the weekend after. Have fun and be safe!!!

Did you do a virtual "mic drop" after that? ;)
Good luck, have fun and stay safe as well!!!

This is one of a handful of lawsuits going on. I guess I owe some people a drink. I didn't think the California Supreme Court would take this one up....I thought the Catholic schools lawsuit was more promising because of the religions angle. The parents from Oaks Christian and the VC also have one going. Then there's also one on behalf of kids with disabilities. If I were a conspiracy theorist I'd say they took this one up because it's the easiest.....

“By closing the schools of California to in-person learning he [Newsom] is creating havoc for parents and children,” Tyler contended. “The California Constitution requires that all children receive an equal education. Our position is that he is creating an unequal burden on economically disadvantaged families.”

He said that poorer families don’t have the money to pay for learning pods that are popping up all over California. And that one of his clients is a single mother who works full time and can’t stay at home with her child for online learning. “For many single parents they have to choose between educating their child and putting food on their child.”

So nice to see the Oaks Christians and Mater Deis of the world looking out for the "unequal burden on economically disadvantaged families."

Why don't we just pass around the basket and collect enough $$$ to buy our own rapid point of care tests?

I have never had more tears, frustration, etc my first two days last week than I have my previous 20 years of teaching. Kids borrowing a computer, having to have an aunt drive them to a place with wifi and trying to get on zoom calls to learn American Politics. I had 31 kids in a class and could maybe converse with half of them. Many of the kids I have are not high up the socioeconomic ladder so they don't have computers, wifi, or a firm grasp of all of the things to be able to do virtual learning. They are beyond fearful that they are not going to be able to graduate as this is a grad requirement. I have spent much of the time in the last 5 days on the phone with as many as I can but I cannot sustain it and neither can they.

Copa9, just for you as you are the Covid is the worst thing we need to stay and wait person on here. I nearly lost my son 10 days ago as he just snapped given everything that has happened. Gun, ready, etc it was likely short away but as we fanned out in the city looking for him a friend of mine found him and likely saved his life. He was a gifted player but dropped out of college mid spring semester and refused to go back and had been spiraling since. Taking their lives away is more dangerous than you think. I guess every time you show the one young person that died due to Covid, I will do the same.

It didn't have to be that way for the persons in either of your two paragraphs above.

Thank you for being on the front lines as a teacher. My heart breaks for these kids and I am amazed as I listen to these teachers teach when my freshman is learning how kind and compassionate they are. I know they are dealing with so much and are in unchartered territory.

Your post makes me teary about your son. I am glad he is ok and hope that he continues to improve.

DE Germany? You are misinformed. Germany's mask compliance is about 15% less than ours from surveys. Their mask ordinances are more limited (varies state by state but generally in shops, on public transit and in certain places of business, not beaches or whenever you leave your house). Their exemptions for young children are broader than ours. Police only started enforcing the mask ordinance in some Lander a few days ago and it's been a source of great controversy.

Did you go to Germany also? We just have to admit that the Germans are smarter than us. Seems like they are wearing masks in the right places. I'm telling you Grace, if we would have put out a nice little video explaining why masks are important inside and rarely outside, I think people would be way more open to masks so that we wouldn't have this mask v. no mask BS.

I got more poor when the 2 district computers that I got as back ups and then actually needed failed. So short trip to SD because there are no apple stores open in OC and I now have 2 new apple laptops. And my sons response when I said it was part of his BD present? 'I didn't even want a laptop'

Mine had the same reaction. He wanted a windows laptop so he could play something called Planet Coaster. His school though required the apple. He complains you can't run games on the apple.

It looks you’ve picked up on a great way for our youth to collect on their inheritance much earlier than originally anticipated. Go to school and then go home.

Germany is doing just fine reopening schools with cohorts. I think theirs are larger, but still stable groups.

Of course, Germany has considerably better qualified teachers than we do. Asking the English teach to handle basic science is less of a train wreck.

My god, some of the sacrifices we are making are more than any child should be forced to bear. No one should ever have a mac forced upon them like that. Reminds me of all the rationing during the Battle of Britain.
