My kids in Roseville have school off today and all of my daughter's soccer games this weekend have been canceled. Good. Too bad I'm stuck at work. I don't follow this thread normally, but I'm surprised at the Gavin-bashing in the past few pages. As a gun-owner in California, I already don't like the guy and his Patrick Bateman smile, but is it a collective feeling that he sucks, despite basically winning in a landslide? Did he just spend the most in the primaries compared to the other Democratic candidates or something?

So I register as "no party preference." I swear in every previous primary election I had Dems and Independents on my ballot, but no Republicans. This year I had no candidates on my ballot, and my voter packet said I had to fill out a form and request a Democratic ballot, which of course I didn't see until yesterday. Am I dumb or did they change how the party preference ballot works? Not that it matters, but maybe I could have pushed Tulsi to 0.8%.

Anonymous Zebra posted:I honestly don't know what the gently caress they expect us to do at this point. My family has stayed socially isolated since the first order came in. We haven't gone to work, we both submitted a hold order on our tenure clocks because it was irresponsible to continue research and have people in our labs. We taught our classes online with screaming children in the background as we hopelessly tried to keep three young girls entertained while they slowly developed social disorders from not being able to play with anyone else besides the household. And apparently none of it did anything. There are more people infected in Riverside than there was when all the schools closed and I had to essentially become a full-time parent who still needed to work an 80-hour week. The UC Riverside is ramping up research and telling us to get back to work when there is literally more danger than there was when they closed us down. But no actual loving schools or summer camps are open and my youngest daughter literally begged me to send her back to school two days ago and has repeated the request every even since. Meanwhile half of their friends have been having family parties, going to the pool and ignoring the shelter in place order and thus have not being socially isolated to the same degree that my wife and I apparently foolishly inflicted on my kids. I feel this loving post deep in my bones. I’ve got 3 older kids 10-14 yo, and they’ve all become complete and total lazy morons with no common sense anymore. I had to explain to my 14yo how to wash a spoon with a sponge, for 10 whole minutes. Something he’s done a million times in his life already. All they want to do is sit in front of a screen because they can’t hang out with their friends. Their spring sports were canceled, so it’s a struggle to get them to do anything active. The 14yo runs high school cross-country, and he just wants to wake up at 3pm and sit in front of his computer. By the time he’s “ready” to do his training run, it’s 102 degrees out and pretty drat dangerous to run 8 miles in and complains the whole time, rightfully so. Normally, they’d have practice at 6am when it’s like 65 out. The 14yo has pretty bad ADHD (and probably on the spectrum somewhere) and a 504 plan through school, so anything that’s not insanely structured is next to impossible for him. He needs a set schedule and deadlines to meet or else he can’t organize himself. Telling a kid like that “here’s a bunch of assignments and some are optional and may or not be graded and if they’re graded we might give you a letter grade but we might just give you credit/no credit, read this to figure out how to do them, and turn them in next week, ready set go” is the worst possible way for him to learn. The number of times he’s come running in crying his eyes out because he forgot a 2-week engineering CAD project is due in 2 hours that he hasn’t started yet is staggering. He can’t stay organized without the structure that actually physically going to school provides. And the wife and I can’t keep up with literally every single assignment across the 3 kids as well as keep up with our own work and general house upkeep. If you’re thinking “well that’s just lovely parenting, ya goony goon,” my wife and I both work full time (from home at the moment). We both got promos this year, so a lot has been expected of us. We have been insanely fortunate during these times that we even have jobs, let alone actually received (way overdue) promos. It’s hard as hell to break away from work every 6 minutes to make sure everyone is on task doing their school work and chores and generally not being complete dickheads to each other. And every time I’m in a call, I get kids coming in every 14 seconds asking for screen time, whining that they can't hang out with friends even though all of their friends are getting together, or arguing that it’s not their turn to do the dishwasher. We just moved and that’s been a nuclear disaster to try to make time to pack and unpack. And like you said, everyone else’s family lets their kids YOLO and hang out and go to pool parties and while my wife and I said gently caress no. We finally relented a couple weeks ago and let each kid have a friend over. I think we finally accepted the fact that we can’t just completely lock down and expect our mental health to remain just fine. It’s about calculated risk. We’re not going to bars or breweries or concerts, but the risk in letting the kid have a single friend over is small enough in our eyes to justify the mental health benefit. Oh, and through all of this bullshit with the older kids, I forgot to mention that we also have 15mo twins that demand almost every minute of our attention. Try keeping an ADHD kid on task in remote school or even waking up before 2pm with 2 crying toddlers. Now, we have also been extremely lucky that they're in-house (not ours) daycare remained open, and with a wink wink nudge nudge "if they shut down in-house daycare, they can always come over and see 'grandma' during the week." Thankfully it didn't come to that, but having the twins home, everything my wife and I could possibly make any semblance of progress on is ground to a halt so we can take care of them. By the time their bedtime rolls around around 8:30p, we just want to flop down on the couch and zone out or sleep because we're so loving exhausted, both physically and mentally. Meanwhile, our garage is filled with moving boxes that still need unpacked. I hear your post loud and loving clear and couldn’t agree more with it. If everything gets locked down again, there’s 0 chance we lock ourselves in a bubble again. No we’re not going to massive social gatherings, but a friend or 2 here and there won’t immediately get a nope answer. People need social interaction that isn’t over FaceTime or Zoom. Even my wife and I were getting stir crazy and finally said gently caress it a couple weeks ago and had a couple friends over for a beer just to feel somewhat normal again. Our ONLY silver lining has been that our new house has a pool. It’s probably been the only thing that has been saving our sanity. e: Yes, moral of the story, don't have kids, especially during a pandemic.

Anonymous Zebra posted:So I wanted to just pop back in here to thank the various other parents who posted after me to share their feelings. I honestly went to bed that night thinking I had made a stupid post and expected some light ribbing in the morning. Your support and good posts helped me out a lot, and helped me get my priorities in order. We just got an email from our district yesterday letting us choose what of 3 options we want for our kids. This is a choice, not a vote, so they plan to implement all 3 of these. 1) Go back full-time, 5 days a week to your regular school. 2) Hybrid, 2 days a week in 1 of 3 designated schools in the district, 3 days of home learning. My kids would not be going to their own school if we choose this, as our school is not a designated hybrid destination. 3) Full online. My wife and I discussed it between ourselves, and also with the kids later. We all said "absolutely gently caress the full-time online classes" option. We've did that for 3 months and well, my experience was documented in my previous post. Absolute disaster for learning, and also for mental health. We both felt that going back full time (#1 option) is the best for both learning and maintaining mental health. The kids get to see their friends. Classrooms will most likely be reduced by at least some marginal amount due to other parents picking hybrid (and going to another school)/full online. I figure that if some kid is infected, they're going to spread it to classmates regardless of whether you go back 5 days a week, or only 2 days a week. You're still coming in contact with an infected student either today or tomorrow, it doesn't matter. Sure, there's a chance they may catch it during a home school day, but basically no one is going to test their asymptomatic kid. Once they start showing symptoms, they've probably been spreading it for a week or whatever. The only way to avoid this is to do full time online classes. Originally, the kids wanted to do hybrid, but after thinking about having to go to a different school and probably never seeing their friends again, they came to their own conclusion that #1 is probably the best. Not to mention, at the hybrid school, they will also have all the full-time kids there as well, thus increasing numbers at the schools designated for hybrid destinations. They also didn't like the idea of getting stuck with some random district teacher rather than having class with someone they already have a relationship with, and their older siblings already had experience with. For my oldest, the ADHD kid, anything online would never work, even if it's only a couple days a week, as has been proven already. It's hard enough when the wife and I are working full-time from home, but when we go back, he's going to sleep in until 4pm and never get anything done.

So, uhh, when the school district for 2 of my kids offered 3 options: 1) full in-school, 2) hybrid, 3) full online, they anticipated most people choosing 1 or 2. After this week, it looks like kids won't be able to go back to school to start the year for the first semester or so. The school district just came out and said "oh hey, we anticipated most kids picking 1 or 2, and we can't afford to put every student on the full online learning program, so we reject the motion to start the school year with all students online, sorry." ....

2 of my kids started online middle school today. They had Champion's Academy lined up as the platform, but when Placer county got placed on the watch list, everyone had to go online. They said "lol oops we can't afford this platform for all students, so uhhh, bbl." Last week, they announced they were using Otus as their new platform for all students. 30 mins before school starts, the servers predictably had a nuclear meltdown and no one could log on for a couple hours. The teachers had to email out direct links for their Zoom meetings instead of using Otus to post them. Also predictably, some students (none in my kids' classes) forwarded the emails out to all their friends, so the class Zooms got carpet bombed with constant swearing and porn. One of my kids' teachers sent out an email that said basically "ya know what, gently caress it, see you tomorrow, hopefully it'll work then. I hate 2020." My highschooler starts on Wednesday and we had him try to get up at 6:30am to get back into the schedule. He woke up at 3:30pm. Mom and I started drinking at 11am while in our own work meetings. Going real well.
