We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Of course now I'm from research on the accuracy of the antibody test I got and I'm not certain I feel too great about the accuracy of the test... I'd probably question it if it showed positive too so whatever. :-)

Probably not a bad idea, it might help get them in the proper mindset to learn as opposed to slopping around in pj’s

student: *wears pajamas*
teacher: "Are those pajamas that you are wearing?"
student: "Nope."
teacher: "They look like pajamas."
student: "Nope. Prove it."
teacher (to his or herself): "Ok you win."

I find myself feeling bad for these kids more and more lately.

This is already a generation that doesn't know how to talk to people or interact with humanity without the use of a screen or the internet. These kids have never known a world without social media. Internet hatred, stupidity, and misinformation has been part of their lives since inception.

And now this COVID crisis has forced kids to lose the one aspect of social interaction (school) they have left.

Certainly they aren't the first generation to deal with fucked up circumstances, but this just sucks. I think back on my middle school and high school days and I remember them fondly. Sports, mingling between classes, skipping out on Algebra to go eat at Taco Tico, learning how to navigate social norms and structure...

This isn't a "Send these kids to school no matter what!" post either. I just think there are lasting implications tied to the decisions adults are making for these kids with regard to their school and their future.

I think they were already going to have some level of fucked-up-edness no matter what, but add this on top of it, and yikes.

One positive of being a millennial parent is the ability to help them navigate some of these pitfalls since our knowledge of internet related things are better than our parents were. My parents thought nothing of letting me sit in front of a screen playing video games for hours, or spending every week night hanging out on AOL instant messenger.

Remember the old saying:

For every action, there's an unequal and opposite overreaction.

Great post. People don’t realize there are no perfect solutions and they all have consequences either way.

No one is squashing this thing. We either live with it or piss away all of our social lives and see unemployment/suicides/divorces sky rocket with it.

So, a few cases cropped up and they are going to locally lock down for a few days.

People have issue with this, why?

Yeah, it sucks. My oldest missed his spring soccer season and my middle son missed his 7th grade track season. He already had USATF and AAU times from nationals (in the 200, 400, and 800) that would have shattered the school records. That sucks, but what really stinks was all of the training that he would have done in pursuit of those goals. Now, we're simply hanging on for football and really praying that basketball is here in winter. AAU tournaments have kept the kids playing, but cancelling the school season would be tough.
