Being completed and within an appropriate timeframe, that's an easy answer -- it is. College can be putoff a few years after high school and many people do so now days. Pushing back K-12 a year or so is a terrible idea in comparison.

If it was a small company and one guy had 10 years of experience in the exact same role, the guy with experience would get the job everytime.

You back in Michigan?
-
Because a kid is only a kid for so long. Like it matters if a person graduates college at 22 or 23.
-
It wouldn't bother me one bit to cancel all face to face college courses. I find post K-12 schooling far less essential, especially the need for in-person.
-
Oh, there's definitely a threshold where I would worry, but we haven't gotten close to that level yet.
-
I have sat through the zoom sessions that took place last spring. It was a mess. Zoom teaching is fully dependent on how competent the parent is. Many kids will simply lose 1.5 years of school in the middle of their childhood. Last spring was a disaster. I don't blame the teachers for it either.

We know the long term problems associated with a bad economy and kids not going to school. That's proven.
-
I mean... it couldn't hurt, but 3 square meals eaten daily with a snack before bed probably contributes more than anything. I personally stopped eating lunch and my own situation has improved dramatically. This whole problem can't be solved by the government. For one thing, obesity really accelerates for people in their 30s. I doubt Obama's school lunch initiatives will matter for most.
-
Without obesity, this would probably have never been a thing to begin with. It's a small minority of non-obese people dying... a very small minority. As much as I believe Sweden handled it correctly, we probably couldn't take that same path without a higher death per million count. We would flood hospitals with the older, obese population.
-
Wake me up when people in a low risk situation are dying. Until then, let's mask up and get back to business and school.
-
Lol @ cases In a state of 9.5M. Let's rob kids of a childhood and ruin livelihoods over that.
-
There's talk about moving Michigan back to phase 3 and that would kill face to face school opening. One peek at the data shows this to be a total overstep.
-
I'm still waiting to see a single municipality on planet earth that had a sustained spike in April-May that actually has had a resurgence. I mean seriously, this is a science forum with people who view data as paramount. Are we really not going to talk about why this is? Lol
-
The juice was never worth the squeeze.
-
Right....
-
Sweden does nothing and their situation resolves itself on its own, but ours won't eh? I'm skeptical.
-
Maybe, maybe not... I can't help but believe that we're seeing the natural cycle of a respiratory virus. The vulnerable are taken out first and that's what led to the above chart in each location.
-
What exactly did Sweden do to mirror the situation in NY?
-
You want strict government controls in a country founded on freedom from the government. Now you seem frustrated that free speech is running rampant. Hmm..

I could see this for high school, but elementary this is a no-go. Our elementary is going to mask in the hallways, but not in class. My son goes crazy after 20 minutes... no way would he make it 6 to 8 hours. I noticed the middleschool has plywood sealing off all entrances except the front doors. No idea what's going on there, but I'm 100x more worried about fires. I'll snap a pic of it if I get a chance.
-
Kids typically aren't obese or have preexisting conditions. My son being an exception... he has type 1 diabetes and is insulin dependent. Even so, we have had numerous parents document their experiences and so far every child has been asymptomatic.
-
Anytime an organization makes a statement that has a positive position on this, we get a quick retraction. I can't help but guess we have someone pulling the strings on this behind the scenes.

Here's the story. Not a big town, so this kind of thing blew up. There are more updates, but this is part of it. https://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/howell/2020/06/09/adam-merkel-restaurants-sues-4-former-employees-defamation/5325392002/ I think he f-vked up with the lawsuits fwiw. There's no chance of getting a dime out of these women, so that's another story.
