Good night. Gotta rest up.
I’ll check on the thread in the morning.

You expect me to watch them?

Private school. Small classes. They already eat in their classrooms. Maybe the teachers will end up getting it, maybe most of them have already been exposed... who knows but unless it’s as bad as flu season last year with the kids we won’t be shutting down.

I'm almost certain that with the frustrated teachers having to do rapid, touchless temp checks in the morning that in-peeson school will crater and we will all return to doing online schooling as a replacement. After that 1 hour per day of commitment is done, the parents will have to figure out how to handle their child as the parent is at work.

Oh when parents catch on about the monitoring temps daily thing...the children's motrin and Tylenol will be flowing like Niagara Falls. In fact I'm going to buy stock in those two companies right now. BRB

Most of the meetings I have attended this summer focused on full virtual learning. They know this will be a shite how and anticipate a spike in cases. Learning will not happening this year.

If a parent has any functional brain cells they will check the temp before going to school. But that is too much work so parents will not be doing it.

How do you JUST know about these procedures and why didn’t your school have plans laid out a month ago?

Two math questions, Teach:
How many healthy people in the US under the age of 55 have died of Covid?
What are your chances of dying of Covid exposure if you’re 1) under 55 and 2) healthy?

Our school states that they will have “later” temperature checks to combat this

It’s worse than that. They give them Tylenol to reduce fever. Then, send them to school. They kid is obviously sick, but no fever. We have to wait until mid day to call hime. The parent is “on the way” until right before dismissal. It’s sick behavior.

Keep them in that private school. Because they can reason.
Anyone with COVID and a fever has been contagious for AT LEAST a day already. Temp checks are a gigantic waste of time.

Temp checks are done by a few personnel each assigned to each grade level. Temp checks are done on the teacher and all students in the class. Anyone 100.4 or above are “discreetly” (Hipaa) led to an isolated classroom monitored by a teacher. After 15 minutes there, their temp is checked again to see if it has dropped below 100.4.
This doesn't sound as bad as you originally made it out to be.

Wow. Just wow. The guidelines that schools have to follow will be nearly impossible to accomplish without losing 50% of instructional time. We were given just a few bits of info concerning procedures like arrival, dismissal, eating breakfast/lunch and bathroom procedures.
... unless there is more you are not sharing.

Constantly changing process/procedures
For example: my principal had figured out a way for kids to eat. Simple bag meals for breakfast and lunch were going to be placed on carts to be handed out in the classroom. But then the director of nutrition for the parish decides she wants the kids to have hot meals. So now every student from pre-K thru 5th grade has to walk to the cafeteria and back to pick up their hot meal to eat in the classroom. All while maintaining social distance and washing their hands in the cafeteria. How many dropped plates do you think there will be? How long will it take to complete the lunch process now?
Also of note, the bathrooms at school have to be completely sanitized after each class uses them. So the ritual in primary school of eating lunch then going to the bathroom has become a scheduling nightmare.

Problem solved.
I don't give a shite about all this crap.
over 4,000 people have died from coronavirus just in Louisiana
you may not give a shite but it's a pretty good bet that the school board and especially teachers don't want one of their students to be a statistic

This is what is wrong with public schools. People like you want as little involvement as possible and instead prefer to give ultimate authority to the school.
Incorrect. Non-magnet public schools are representative of their community. It's no coincidence that the worst schools are also in the worst neighborhoods. Why? Because school administrations would rather shut up a mouthy parent to get them out of their hair than allow teachers the ability to discipline students the way the need to.
When Bonnie Sue comes into a parent-teacher meeting at 8am still smelling of cigarette smoke and Natty Light from the night before because she was too drunk to bathe last night and so hungover because she was running late this morning, that has a negative impact on their child(ren). I've got friends and family who teach in a variety of La public schools across the state and that story remains the same across the state.

So true.
Many parents pass the buck to schools to raise their children. These parents struggle in normal times so now they are even more unreliable. A lot of kids are registered to attend school the first week school is back because parents don’t know that school has started. They see school busses and the light bulb goes off.

Question: Do you think that between the teachers’ hesitation about these procedures and some “Karen-type” parents, the in person schooling will continue for long? What’s the over/under?
