That's 3 different counties trying 3 different mixes of online/in person. The end result is the same. In less than a week the infection rate is ridiculous.

I guess the thing on my mind is completely different than the way this thread has been going recently and trivial in comparison.. still I'm going to share.
My drive to be romantically involved with anybody, even if it's just a physical connection, is non-existent. There's only one person that I can see myself wanting to share that kind of connection with but there's absolutely no way that would happen based on how we know each other (professional relationship) but more importantly he shows no interest to even want to talk to me let alone be romantic with me...
I know I'm attractive. At least above average... Recently i thought about putting myself out there and eventually joined dating site. After one day I had over a thousand likes and hundreds of messages but .... I just didn't care to respond to any of them so i deleted the account.
I don't know how to shake it ... but even if I did, I don't know if I would want to3 -

There would be no way I would be sending my child back to a classroom let alone signing a waiver releasing the school of the responsibility for infection/treatment of infection. I really feel for all of you who have children returning to school. I can't imagine the amount of stress you are going through.5

If you knew my kids, you would hire a limousine to not only drop them off to school, but also usher them into a crowded classroom.

Our county is starting online only.
Ours is too, those are all from surrounding counties. We tried to start today, but it was a grand failure. The system decided to implement a new online portal, and it didn't test until this past Monday. The test failed and as far as I can tell no changes were made, it's still failing.1 -

My kid started online only class, I think today...
At first I was hating the idea because the web app they want him to use just works like crap...
However my wife was talking to one of his teachers from last year who said that she basically is having to learn to code, and has been up many nights leading up to this, in tears because she just can't figure out how to get it all to work and they are all pretty terrified that parents will be complaining about the web design...
I think I'll just shut my mouth, not complain and be grateful 😂...
All that being said, I still send my kid to soccer practice 3-4x/week... I think he is better off going then staying home, hiding from the virus 🤷🏽♂️5 -
At first our school was going to go half on Mon and Tues and then clean the school on Wed, then the other half go on Thurs/Fri. That made sense to me. Some in-person classes with social distancing, and some distance learning. Doable. Then they came out with their final plan: all students attend M-Th. No social distancing. No classes Friday, not even distance learning. I’m confused as to how this helps with alleviating any pandemic concerns but my kids are excited for a weekly three-day weekend!1

I'm so not frustrated with the teachers over this, their efforts a clear and they should be proud of what they've tried to do. The crappy thing about it is that they haven't been given a leg to stand on, much less two.
My issue is with the county board, and the way they've (not) handled the preparations for providing a stable and user friendly remote learning platform.
The portal system we used last year was never designed for long term use, but for the odd chance we had two or three snow days in the year. In spite of this, it worked. The whole county used it, all at the same time, and everyone was able to finish the last 10 - 12 weeks on it.
The (stated) plan all summer was to attend school in person this fall. Major efforts were put in to disinfecting the classrooms and adding sanitation stations etc..., all good things, but as we are seeing from the schools who are doing in person, it was not effective. By late June they began to backtrack on that stance a bit and then offered a choice, distance learning if you wanted, or in person with a set of restrictions that would be impossible to enforce on class sizes of 25+ kids to 1 teacher. Come the end of July they announced it would be 100% digital learning and that they would be rolling out a new portal.
The change was made way too late and wasn't tested until Monday, and it failed in spectacular fashion. There are around 300k students in this district and the portal became saturated at about 80k logins and just wet the bed. No follow up communications were sent out, and no additional testing. It's as if they said "we'll reboot and see y'all Wednesday". It still doesn't work and bombs out at about 1/3 of the needed capacity.
The teachers,I thank them all and any of you out there, have put a tremendous amount of effort in to making it work. They've gone around the system and are using their private google accounts to teach via google meet or zoom. This works for anyone with a private device. The county issued chromebooks for households without enough computers as well as hotspots for those with no internet. The devices are managed however, and must authenticate to the student portal before you can do anything else.
I'm fortunate enough to have contingencies and workarounds where I can get all my kids on in spite of all of this, but that's not the case for everyone, or even a majority. There was plenty of time to get this right and the ball was dropped at the top, not by the teachers. I won't even say it was dropped, they just put it down and said F it, let her rip.

Our start date got pushed back to 8/31 and we still don't have an answer on how the district will teach our children.. Online?? In person?? Hybrid??
Luckily hubs is working from home until at least 2021so we are just going with the flow. My heart feels for the families who don't have options and/or resources and are struggling. This whole year has been disheartening.1 -

Our local high school has around 1000 students. Dh said they'll have half the student body going Mon and Wed., the other half going Tues and Thrs, then on Fri everyone does it from home. But on any given day that's still 500 kids; how do you social distance with that number of bodies? Granted, masks will be mandatory, and walking traffic will all be one way, plus there are many buildings, lots of area, but still....
It seems like everyone is trying the best they can and picking their own way. I just hope for the majority of everybody, it works out for the best.2 -
My oldest grandson (7) has been playing basketball and

I am pleased.

I was really hoping I'd get a weekend away before school starts to refresh myself mentally but Idk if that's gonna happen now. School starts next week and it will be 3 days at home then 2 days at school. My 11 year old has difficulty comprehending basic academic learning so I will be the one next to her walking her through all her work when she's at home. I'm not trained in this and I'm really stressing out about her having a successful school year. And that doesn't cover my other two kids and housework in between. Maybe I'm just freaking out and everything will be okay but still, Send all wine.8
