You people than don’t think it’s fair that your kids can’t go back to school need to check your thin privilege for not being scared of coronavirus and also being able to get a gf. Some of us members of the people of size community have been tortured and mocked by females our entire lives

I am very thankful. But, that doesn't take away from the point I made.

Try working all day in an essential job, and having to punish/threaten to spank/yell at the kids to do a day's worth of work every day. That's after you get home from work and inhale your dinner so you can go to bed at a decent time because homework takes a few hours to complete. I don't feel sorry for the teachers. I feel sorry for those of us who had to work the entire time (not at home, but onsite with no change).

No one is asking you to feel sorry for them. The point was that none of them are pushing for online school. I hope you don't help your kids with any reading comprehension homework.

plenty of people might argue that you had it easier because you were not stuck at home with your kids all day

If I would have been stuck home with the kids all day, life would have been 4 times as easier with the school stuff.

5 and 8. Yes and yes. And we both work demanding jobs that require our attention more than just surfing the net in a cubicle all day, so we're mentally beat by the time we come home at night. It's not exactly easy to go through that bullshite of playing home school Monday through Friday (and sometimes the weekends) after you've been working all day long.

The teachers who are pushing for this so they can 'work from home' are going to regret this decision.


Do you really think that teachers have any say so at all in these decisions?

If we go to at home school again this year, two things will change in my house:

1. All hands on deck to do schoolwork during the day (grandparents will get involved in more than just babysitting).
2. I'm pulling them out of Catholic School and we're just gonna go the public school route. Because at that point, the tuition I'm paying is not worth it.

#2 will probably be widespread and you'll see a lot of private schools go out of business.

A person I know is a teach at Catholic High-New Iberia Haircuts, and I was told they are preparing to alternate teaching groups of kids in a classroom, while others are doing home schooling.

Our Catholic high school that my son attends will attend school. They will require mask and take some extra precautions.
The funniest thing they said is that they are going to have 10 thermometers spread throughout the main entrances. 1400 kids arriving each day. Have fun pulling off those temp checks in a timely manner.

Don't quote me on this but this looks like to be the plan in Louisiana.

My district is going K-5 traditional 5 days a week and 6-12 hybrid with 2 days a week face to face and 2 days hybrid, the days the older kids are home will be getting a live stream of the actual class

One would hope, but we can't forget the number of kids with no computer at home, or less than one computer per child. It's going to be challenging for a lot of families, and will impact the poor far more.


Also, add the fact that there’s a lot of rural areas that has ZERO access to high speed internet. Residents in those areas been pushing for the big providers (Cox,att, fidelity, etc etc) to install lines in their area for years, but the providers “don’t see the financial profit” from running lines in those areas.

No, a cell phone hotspot isn’t stable enough.


Now we’re gonna see real fast the education gap widen out x100.

The wealthy families are gonna hire a full time tutor/teacher to come to their home 5 days a week to teach little Bart, while the soccer mom that don’t work, hops in the Land Rover and continue to play tennis and go to the gym 5 days a week.

Whereas the regular middle, two parent working class is gonna be in a real bad bind.
