Back to school adventures coming up: Internal discussion points inside:
Posted on 7/1/20 at 4:57 pm

If, and I mean IF, kids are allowed to go back to school this fall, here are a few items being discussed:
Masks will be requested (but apparently there is no legal basis to require them for entry, which is curious since mayors can require private business to require them but they can’t in a public institution?)
Temperatures will have to be checked by home room TEACHERS, after, mind you, they’ve been on the school bus, exposed to other kids already and who knows what else. Which will require...
6’ distancing on the busses, which will be problematic because there aren’t enough busses to accommodate the new distancing requirements.
6’ distancing between kids in halls and any other collective areas, including classrooms (many of which are not large enough to handle this). Which makes me wonder...
How can they enforce distancing but not enforce a simple face covering, legally speaking?
There are many more logistical issues being discussed, but the whole thing draws a lot of attention to the government hypocrisy and confusion that is going on, as well as the absolute frick show that we are about to endure as a society. This is only the beginning. This is what happens when government gets so powerful and yet clueless all at the same time. Most of these ‘leaders’ are unqualified for middle management in the private sector, yet they are now dictating major, life altering policy based on half assed data, speculation, politics, and future aspirations, with no checks, balances, oversight, or voter approval. It’s a nightmare.

It’s not feasible for schools at all.

Clown world.
Young people ("kids") are the least susceptible to this virus.

This virus won't affect anyone at school. It's not a nursing home.

People thinking these rules are going to work 1. have no real experience with kids/teaching and 2. haven’t been in a school since they graduated decades again

You can't save all lives because all of us are going to die in the near future.

Kids aren't teaching themselves. Majority of substitutes are retired (60+) teachers and most that I know are discussing taking a "temporary" retirement until either a vaccine or better treatment happens. If you're a public school chances are you have immunocompromised kids in your building by nature of ECE programs for students who have physical health issues that contribute to their disability.
That all said, most states have made guidelines near impossible to follow because we've allowed teacher to student ratios to reach 30+ to 1 type ratios. And it'll be next to impossible to social distance in high schools where kids are taking electives and don't adhere to the same schedules. And that's not even getting into the nature of hands on education in Elementary and many ECE classrooms.
But, again, this is when you have people making decisions who haven't stepped into a classroom in decades.

Our district is looking into thermal cameras at entry points. We demoed these and they work quite well. We are a poor parish so this can be done more places than you think

The biggest issue was the buses and halls, etc.
Which is why our district is leaning towards a hybrid model, K-5 goes 5 days a week face to face, 6-12 goes 2 days a week, staggered, one day for disinfecting, and the days they aren't at school they are getting a live feed from district distributed devices and hot spots if they need them all from CARES act funding.

LSU Lab sent out their reopening plans today.
School is splitting the school into 2 groups. One group goes MW & the other goes TTh and everyone is virtual on Fridays. No mention of recess but lunch will be 6ft distancing.
If we go back to phase 1, all will be virtual.

My kids' private school is seeing a surge in enrollment from parents of public school students who want their kids in a classroom in August. Don't have to worry about buses and student to teacher ratio was already low

This is from St. Alphonsus yesterday:
quote:
All of the Catholic school leaders in the Diocese of Baton Rouge have been collaborating with each other as well as consulting with health care experts. We had our first consultation with Our Lady of the Lake on Monday. It was a very informative visit and they are going to guide us in formulating plans for reopening in August. We know that students are looking forward to reconnecting with their friends, and faculty are excited about returning to school campuses. All schools in our diocese are planning to resume classes in early-August in compliance with the regulations in force at that time. The guidelines are expected to include face masks for students and staff, increased regular hand washing and cleaning practices, and appropriate social distancing. Information specific to our school will be communicated to everyone by the week of July 20th.

No different than the people making decisions on running the states when they don't abide by their own rules. Stupidity.
Eventually people are going to get fed up with these dumb arse decisions to shut down. 2nd wave BS is BS. A virus with the mortality rate of the flu is making the country dumber by the minute.

The districts are trying to figure out how to implement the shitstorm of new regulations that they’re going to have to follow once official guidance is released. One thing I’ve learned through all of this is that if you hear rumors or ‘discussion’ about shite being implemented, there’s a better than 80% chance you’ll see it enacted in one form or another. See JBE/SWB slow leaking things such as ‘we don’t want to have to go back to harsher restrictions’ but with that ‘we will if we have to’ mentality. It’s coming. Even the district people know what’s coming. The writing is on the wall and they have to be proactive.

Wow. Sounds like a piece of cake!
