Re-opening Schools in the era of COVID

[Tsing Tao]

Let's take a look of a map with schools in the Tampa Bay area with COVID cases from ABC Action news.

(Oh my, Tampa Bay looks f@rked - over 270 schools with COVID cases)

I looked up the high school in our neighborhood to sample this data.

LOL! Oh no!!! ONE CASE OF COVID IN THE SCHOOL!!!

I'm going to rename you Chicken Little.

I think we all knew this...that was the big issue of schools re opening...not the kids themselves but the teachers, staff and homes with at risk individuals.

Which is why households with at-risk people can opt out of returning to school and e-Learn here in Florida.

Kids having germs is news.

So this is a spreadsheet of what? COVID incidents at schools? I've already said if schools open, people at school are going to come down with the virus. This doesn't say ANYTHING about all the schools closing. In fact, many of the entries are just incidents of people getting COVID or people be suspect. Where is your backup for "nearly all schools have had to shut down"??



Again, over 270 schools with at least 1 COVID case proves exactly what? Absolutely nothing. It shows kids get sick. Want to see the hospitalizations of COVID for Hillsborough (the county)? Warning, it won't show you numbers you will like.



You've shown nothing at all to support the case that



You are literally making lies up as you go at this point.

We will allow others to review the spreadsheets and information and draw their own conclusions.

BS. I literally sent a text to my son's teacher to ask this question and she replied that she was the only one in front of her laptop - but she did say she was in class. So even if there ARE classrooms where there are a few people in one, why can't they properly social distance? They do it at Walmart. They do it at Lowes. Don't try to blame it on the fact that they enter the school building and suddenly, like magic, the virus is ultra contagious. Its' all the school's fault. What a complete load of crap.



Bullshit. Few minutes. Some people shop for well over an hour. And the time has nothing to do with it.



You're so unbelievably full of excrement. The good thing is that more and more people are waking up to that fact.

So when you teacher has to divide their class in three different sections -- and you need another teacher or assistant to teach each section then how is this handled. Recognizing their is only one classroom available to hold all the educators for the class.

If you think that going to Walmart or Lowes is the same as teaching in a classroom -- then I think that you need to have a conversation with an educator about your assertions.

I certainly hope so. It's hilarious that you think this is anything of any note.

A teacher that has to divide their class into three different sections online? Why would they do that?

I don't need conversations with "educators" that are pushing a narrative like you, or that are driven by bullshit from the Teacher's Union. Like you.

Plenty of educators were working daycare since the crisis began. Where were all the complaints then? Where are they now? Or are young children not contagious in your world?

Chicken Little.

Maybe you need to learn how elementary schools operate. Take a look at state requirements to differentiate and teach students at different levels based on capability/understanding. Learn the federal requirements for teaching the special needs children in your class which normally have their own TA. Learn the requirements regarding education of children for Title 1 and the extras that must be provided.

None of this make schools any more contagious than any other public setting, especially when students are virtual.

And none of the data supported your statement about "nearly every school has had to close"...

Total fabrications. You might want to work for the DNC.

Note my words were "close or partially close" with the definition of partially closed being one or more classrooms being send to virtual classes for a period of days due to COVID outbreak in the class.

Ah, I'm sure if you extend "partially close" to include those schools that closed one or more bathrooms during the period, you'd be close to a "nearly all" number.
