There wasn't a hell of a lot of time to formulate a plan and put it all out to bid.
Hell, we didn't even have any kids and I don't mind ponying up this year. Suck it up now and bitch next year if the powers that be don't meet your expectations.

Horseshit. These schools had plenty of time to come up with COAs and then institute them based off of conditions.

I'm a taxpayer and will bitch at will. It's my money, not theirs, not yours, not anyone's but mine.

I pay taxes as well so you have no exclusive right to be an ass. We all get some say in the matter. You should change tour avatar to say STFU Z06.

So you tell me not to bitch about my money and then call me an ass because I am going to bitch about my money?

Coming from the guy who bought a terrifying Ecoboost?

GA schools are open. What’s the problem?

That school hallway would look exactly like that during flu season - but nobody would care and it wouldn't make the news.

So what's the right answer, just have an entire generation of kids that's at least a year behind in their education?

p.s. made in China. Cheap labor, cheap and dangerous manufacturing processes, shit products. Fabirique em Chine is a nice touch though.

Virtual until it’s truly safe. I wouldn’t want my kid in that shitshow.

Grade 13. That's the answer.

Virtual schooling isn't new. It's been around for a while, and most studies say it's not nearly as effective as attending school.


From one study:

But setting up online schools wouldn't be easy and, according to research, moving from the actual classroom to a virtual classroom can hurt student performance. ... The report also shows that, on average, 50.1% of virtual high school students graduate within four years, compared with 84% of high school students nationally.

From another one:

In this study of virtual charter schools in Indiana, researchers “found that students who switched to virtual charter schools experienced large, negative effects on mathematics and English/language arts achievement that persisted over time and that these effects could not be explained by observed teacher or classroom characteristics.”

There are lots of studies that say virtual schooling is okay if you just want to check a box, but not if you care about actually educating kids.

What wasn't disclosed in that picture.


Parents had a choice to either use virtual learning or go to campus.

It’s not ideal, but better than nothing. And better than what’s happening in GA IMHO. Besides, it’s Georgia. How educated are they getting anyway.

What is a "truly safe" high school?

That place doesn't exist.
