It is consistently ranked among the best schools in-state and nationally. It's a good district with many good teachers. Admin., on the other hand... 3 hours ago, Parrot Head said: Everyone will be glad to finally not have to wear masks. The question is when is the right time. It's been this long, what is another 2-3 months? I really think the logical thing is to wait until the seasonal trends favor it (i.e., the typical end of flu season, so April/May). Doing so too soon could cause another spike late in winter or early Spring, which just prolongs the pandemic in the long-term. This is the fundamental issue: The people who most desperately want to end mitigation also refuse to adhere to it for the necessary period of time to get us to a place where we can do it responsibly.

I swear yesterday on NPR they said something like 80-90% of seniors had been boosted.

There is a strong tie between just generally being unhealthy and having bad outcomes with COVID. The medical establishment NEVER made any effort to tell people that, on a personal level, the best thing you could do to to protect yourself was to stop being a lazy fatty. It definitely is a scandal that no one's talking about. Remember how about 15-25 years ago we used to always hear about the "obesity epidemic" on the news, and then they'd rolls some stock footage with waist-down shots of fat people's guts giggling? Well, where did that go? Because the obesity epidemic didn't go away. I have an idea what happened...

Well, where did that go, because the obesity epidemic didn't go away. I have an idea what happened... In the US? lol, no. And yeah, not only do we share this country with morons, they're fat morons too. Ironically, the push to stop "shaming" people was out of a concern for their mental health despite the fact that it was counterproductive to their physical health. The damage to the former being far overstated while the damage to the latter being far understated. Stop me if this sounds all too familiar as of late.

February 11, 20224 yr I went back and forth over private school for a while, but I have been very happy with the schools my kids have gone to so far.
February 11, 20224 yr My kid's daycare/preschool is more expensive than most state colleges Little sheet is probably gonna end up as a liberal arts major too.

February 11, 20224 yr 7 hours ago, Parrot Head said: Oh cool. I bet they'd also react the same way if the school announced the cafeteria was serving ice cream for lunch from now on instead of regular meals. Or that there'd be no need to carry backpacks because there's no more tests or homework. Or that instead of learning in class, they're just gonna watch movies and play games all day. Maybe, just maybe, making policy decisions solely based on what makes kids jump out of their chairs and start cheering isn't the best approach, but I'm sure you're also the type to complain about how this new generation of special snowflake participation trophy kids are way too coddled and need to toughen up more.

Yeah the cost blows but the teachers are great and they do a lot of developmental stuff with the kids. Plus he loves it. I may feel differently the first time he brings home a stomach bug or hand/foot/mouth though.

They do a great job with the kids and I know my daughter is light years ahead developmentally.

The greatest day since my kids were born was the day I made the last daycare payment 😂 then they started dance and I still don’t have any money. 😞

Agree with your first point Participation trophies are for **** and parents that know their kid sucks at sports but want them to feel special.
