Kolek planning to go pro
The anger is because from a health, scientific, and economic point of view, the decisions are moronic. The decisions will kill people. I tend to have a problem with politicians that make decisions, that will kill people. There was no reason from a legal standpoint that this was done, so it was completely for political gain.
The Marquette Law School hosted a webinar earlier this week on What Is Being Learned in K-12 Education in this Difficult Year - https://youtu.be/fAPojLlT8P4The first session draws on the Center on Reinventing Public Education at the University of Washington, which has been closely monitoring and analyzing schooling trends nationwide. Then four Milwaukee education leaders describe what has happened for their schools and what they have learned. Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow in law and public policy, will moderate a panel with Matthew Joynt, superintendent of the Mequon-Thiensville School District; Jennifer Lopez, CEO of Carmen Schools of Science and Technology; Keith Posley, superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools; and James Sebert, superintendent of the School District of Waukesha.
Yikes! Researchers who work CDC cited to help put together school guidelines coming in hot claiming they misinterpreted their findings and that schools should be open now.

Was this written by a bot? Why does the information repeat like 4 times?
I'm interested to see the follow-up story to this in about a month. Will there be any hospitalizations or deaths attributed to this "surge"? Or will there even be a follow-up story if there aren't any?
All anybody can talk about when it comes to education is how far kids have fallen behind because of lack of in-person schooling.NC is looking at options for the next school year, and is leaning toward starting the year a couple weeks early and making the year longer to help get everybody up to speed.Well, the NC tourism industry is pi$$ed because they don't want kids in school for most of August."Yes, kids need school ... unless it takes money out of our pockets."People who have to make decisions just can't win.
I see why they may want to do that but it might be a little late to be making that decision. I bet a lot of people already have vacations planned based on what the previously announced first day of school is supposed to be in the fall. And there are people who have already signed their kids up for camps where you can't get refunds I would think.
It's pretty funny (sad?) that vacations and camps would take priority over school after a year like we just went through.
We should have year-round school nationwide anyway
For the decision makers the “win” was getting kids back in school 7 months ago when it become very clear there was a safe way of doing so. So so so thankful to have lived in a community that made many of the right decisions so aside from a lot of mask wearing our kids lives were minimally impacted. Got to play all their sports, see their buddies/ teachers at school everyday, and there were very minimal disruptions via contactvtravings etc.
Not after kids have had a summer and multiple sports seasons ruined.
