1. Homeschool her

2. Exactly. Her education will be better anyway. Nt

5. No doubt!

9. I am actually a little surprised to see this view here.

I guess because usually when I see discussions of homeschooling it involves posts talking about RWNJ keeping their kids out of “liberal schools”; implying homeschooling is bad because of parents being able to teach their kids how the parent wants to.

10. Oh I'm not a rwnj. Lol

Just a sane person who believes it is crazy go cram kids into classrooms during pandemic.

Arkansas already has 8k cases among students & staff after only 3 weeks.

With an RO of 7-9, well, it is not a safe environment from my perspective.

[LiberatedUSA]

11. Oh I agree.

The rush to open schools and the anti mask idiots are killing kids.

It is a tough position, as learning from a computer at home makes it harder to pay attention and learn. It lowers test scores. But that is better than dead kids.

14. I was listening

To my local Pacifica station (KPFA-Berkeley) with a Dr. from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. So not exactly right wing sources. His position was that kids need to be in school and that distance learning was more detrimental to children, especially young children, than COVID. He of course was promoting masks and other safety measures, but he was adamant that a second year of no inperson school would be disastrous. It's a tough situation, but I support his view 100%. Public schools are often the safest places for children to be.

15. Except for the shootings and now killer Covid, they are safe. n/t

4. I hope that"s an option. It's what I'd do, but I work from home.

[SheltieLover]

7. I would as well

I would never send a child into a classroom in this pandemic.

Arkansas has 8,000 covid +s in their school system after only 3 weeks! With an RO of 7-9 ...

6. My nephew was fully homeschooled and he just graduated from an Ivy League Law School in May

His first day of school ever was the day he started college.

I think homeschooling is a wonderful option especially when all this craziness and Covid is going on.

[SheltieLover]

8. Congrats!

Yes, it is a wonderful option.

3. Republics have decided it's survival of the fittest.

If you die, you die. They're not going to change that approach anywhere they have power.

Who knew Momos and Evangelicals were Darwinists, too?

12. Red state legislatures should be sued until they have to meet in tents....

including Kentucky.


KY.........

13. My son tested negative home test late Saturday night and positive Sunday on rapid test.

16. Don't accept one test as proof of her status. Go get a PCR

And/or test her again in a day or two.

I have seen many, many people show negative one day just to pop positive the next. Also (and I hate to say this) you can't always be certain of the veracity or competence of a particular person doing the testing.
