I understand that people want their kids back in school for a plethora of reasons. It must be extremely hard for them and I'm glad I don't have to worry about that. I honestly feel privileged. but... QuarkJets posted:Remote learning or death, hmm this is such a difficult choice

The largest scale child social experiment on record with known and measurable short term and long term harm with a huge dose of uncertainty on top. It made sense when covid was new. Now we have had enough time to research the risks. And the answers are consistent and clear. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

There are ways to minimize (not eliminate) risk among kids, but most schools are doing very few, if any, if those things. Masks at most, and often lovely masks at that. It’s another reason why the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” messaging is so myopic and ghoulish: ALL KIDS UNDER 12 ARE UNVAXXED GAHGHHHHHGHGHHHH

governments should have spent the last 18 months funding upgrades of ventilation in schools, coordinated renting third-party facilities to allow for more spread out classes, and improved a hybrid learning environment. but that costs money, and people love giving lip service to funding education but hate actually doing it

Doing a search for “ventilator” on Facebook and reading the stories and associated replies is mind blowing. The stories are 99 percent from the Southeastern U.S. Tennessee Alabama Mississippi etc. You can read hundreds of posts about prayers, ivermectin, HCQ, Gods glory etc without ever seeing a mention of vaccines.

Ugh, ok, I'll bite Let's assume Covid is "not new" (even though the big deal this year is a completely new variant, and the threat of new variants looms every day) Let's also imagine you somehow know the future risks of letting a ton of children(and teachers...) be fully exposed to infection, because "we've had time to research" (you don't) What would be the harm in doing a "reduced return to school" with some or all of the measures I mentioned?

I do not understand why my child, who I refuse to speak to, is having all of these struggles with online school. Every day I come home and ignore him, and yet he still refuses to do better. Maybe more Trump flags in the front yard will help.

I do not know why all this mental harm is being done to my child. It must be because he's been taken away from school. It couldn't possibly be an illusory correlation from experiencing a global plague. mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Aug 26, 2021 |

my daughter is 3 and in preschool. Masks recommended but we don't have her wearing one. Why, well most kids aren't wearing them so she really won't be protected and they don't distance at that age. In addition, they take the mask off to eat and to sleep which is probably like 3+ hours a day so really if a kid has covid the partial mask wearing aint gonna do crap. Considering pulling her from school until she's vaccinated but that has its downsides of course. She gets her vitamin d drops daily and is vaccinated against other illnesses so hopefully her immune system will have no problem. She's been sick 6 times since she started school in April or so but now she's been good for weeks...

I'm blessed that my family understands the risks of covid and is double vaxxed and getting the boosters in October. I doubly blessed to currently be living in Quebec which is insitituting vaccine passports. However my family is still mostly in the US so that still puts them at some risk. My sister has to go back to teaching undergrads in person next week, I've recommended a respirator to her but I dunno if she'll be comfortable looking like a cyberpunk. I was also thinking of buying a respirator if I have to go back to working in an office and possibly to see Dune in theaters but maybe Quebec's case numbers will be so low by that point that there won't be a big threat? Haha I can dream

I love this argument because you can apply it to literally anything "Billy why didn't you take out the garbage?" "I did mom, but big tech and the FCC are hiding the truth about it." "I'm looking in the garbage can right now and it's full of garbage." "That's what they WANT you to think. Do your own research!"
