Just got the old form letter from school, "Someone in your daughters class or team has a positive test. We do not believe she was in close contact with them in the 48 hours prior to... "

Etc.

I mean, because of how the schedule falls, she hadn't even been in school since Wednesday, but its so annoying.

I'm not going to be surprised if DeWine and crew strongly recommend going remote school from Thanksgiving till after Christmas since you.get about 5 weeks distance there for 2 weeks (ish) of school.

I don't know what other places are doing but we're not doing "hybrid". We have half the kids in school half the time... There's no "remote" part. For the disciplined kids this is fine, and a free look at college for the HS kids. "Here's half the lecture and 2.5 times the reading, go figure it out!". But when they were remote they had stuff every day.

And if one of those M/W or T/Th days is off for some reason, and it’s not your Friday week, that’s a 1 day school week right there.

Our neighborhood/district had a hybrid-remote mini civil war back in September, but seriously, for all those parents who just wanted their kids out of the house, how ya liking those off days now? 8D

Yes, take election day week for example.... (Because we must make sure the teachers can vote but parents need to look after their kids!)

Yeah, I thought they were supposed to account for that, and maybe it comes out in the wash, but whatever, I ask every Thurs if she has to be there on Fri or not... she will have Monday next week and that's it (I think anyway, they usually don't go Wed next week)

I mean mine is doing fine as far as grades go, but I know some of the kids on her soccer team were struggling for a while, seemed like it was foreign language and math and the kids of stuff where daily repetition matters.

The situation's a little different in my county in NC. As we don't live in an affluent area, the children that definitively go to the physical school building are those that get their two meals a day through the school. Both of our kids have adjusted quite well to remote learning (just fits them both much better). The part that's been interesting is seeing the course load that some of the teachers are putting on the remote learners. Dollars-to-pesos, I bet that the amount that one is responsible for at home would almost never be completely covered in the physical classroom in the time allotted. That being said, my wife stays at home, supports the kids, and helps when/where necessary. If other children don't have the support at home with this workload, then the outcomes and responses could very well be significantly impaired.

We have (had?) school breakfast and lunch available at a few locations throughout the district so kids not in school on a particular day could get it as carryout... I'm not sure I can say they're in walking distance for every kid or anything but its pretty accessible, and positioned where there is more need. (This program evolves so I'm not 100% sure I'm up to date on it. In the Spring they had food for anyone who wanted it, no questions asked for a while)

There is an option for 100% remote but its on a full semester basis, but if you switch or don't finish it, the tuition becomes your responsibility. But its a full online program paid for by the district there are no live teachers as far as I can tell.

There is some flexibility here, we have friends where the Mom has a chronic respiratory condition, and really can't take any risks, the oldest kid had one class to take to graduate, so they figured that out for them. The younger one is remote.

Anyway, I think my kid likes to take the school work as time to get away from us, since we're home most of the time and she's home 4-5 days a week.

The End of the Pandemic is in Sight

The most tenuous moment is over: The scientific uncertainty at the heart of COVID-19 vaccines is resolved. Vaccines work. And for that, we can breathe a collective sigh of relief. “It makes it now clear that vaccines will be our way out of this pandemic,” says Kanta Subbarao, a virologist at the Doherty Institute, who has studied emerging viruses.

Yeah, this is just the end of the beginning.

The main event just started. The fatalities will be lower because we are smarter but the R0 and vaccine will probably intersect now in april or may.
