Wearing Masks

[packerfan79]

I've assisted with setting up curriculae for special needs students. By using a computer to assist with the feedback, one can zero in on potential problems quickly. I'm not suggesting staying home, in case that is what you surmise. You did note I said small groups?

As a child, I was fortunate to learn in a small group where my learning was not restricted as it is in the monster schools. That sort of socialization creates just what you see in America today.

I will leave out a smart aleck comment. Is that okay?

Right now my son is done with his work hours before everyone else. He's got a photographic memory, but has serious issues with overstimulation, and he doesn't socialize without being prompted.

Small groups are a good idea, unfortunately our schools are just 1 size fits all, as of right now. It wasn't always like this.

I didn't think you were suggesting staying at home .

Wtf. No smart ass comment? Are you going soft in your old age? Jk

My little lady went back to school yesterday... she has autism and greatly needs the one to one support and help they provide.
The school are keeping the classes separate from each other and staggering lunch and break times so there’s less mixing, but there’s only so much they can do.
We’ve tried our hardest with the home learning- but I think kids are more likely to learn when their friends are also doing it - sometimes they just don’t want to listen to parents.

maybe parents should get together and make small home schools. but kids need to go in person and sit in front of a teacher, none of this computer learning where they watch stupid shit on you tube in a separate window while the teacher drones on. or they are busy messaging each other the latest memes, all while fucking up their eyes and brains at a young age.

we only closed the schools for a short time and that was already enough that teachers reported big gaps in learning between students in a class. countries that had longer closures and worse educational systems might have ruined the lives of millions of kids with this stunt.

interesting how apparently in 1918 no one closed the schools, they just moved them outside, thats smart. people today are mostly manipulated morons who don't think independently about things.

special needs kids were already slated for in-school classes, it was not an option for them to be remote. nope, not even in a state where we don't wear shoes & shit in outhouses. quite advanced, eh?

My kid is now back physically attending school since this week. We're in Belgium.

A small group using computer generated material is ideal so everyone has a standardized education; Best if students can be grouped by interest/ability. Computer program feedback is very helpful to determine standings...starting points,

Parent involvement in curriculum selection is usually not great.

Rather interesting that a bunch of us appear to have kids with similar issues and faced similar struggles with the remote learning.

Keep on keeping on parents. Its a rewarding challenge.

Waiting for my daughter to get home from school- anytime now.
I actually got a chance to have a rest today for the first time in 6 months... if nothing else, the school opening will greatly help my sanity.
She’ll also sleep much better tonight.

In a normal society we usually listen to those that have the experience and education to tell us what they think is best. I don't have the knowledge/education in virology to tell others what I think they should do. Putting our faith in those that do is always gonna be our best option. The same goes for the Teachers we send our kids to. They should have the necessary education to teach. If some day your kid got a PHD in Virology and told you to ware a mask would you start ?>

Not in California.

It's the most important mission in life.

I have seen that as well, also stuff about "prolonged" exposure...but it just doesn't make sense to me. Why would kids not be just as likely to spread it as adults? They might be much better equipped to get it and recover, but that transmission part just doesn't make sense to me. Same sort of thought regarding prolonged exposure, I just dont see how sitting in a germ cloud for 15 minutes is different than a super short exposure, the virus gets in either way and then replicates.

There is a lot of misunderstanding out there about how a virus (or any pathogen for that matter) enters the body. Generally we're not talking about objects that can propel themselves. That's the most important fundamental component of this to consider. There must be a vector, or there is no transmission. Sometimes that vector is air, sometimes its physical contact, or sometimes its other vectors like particulates, oils, and various aerosols. The virus particles don't fill up the space in all places they may be found. The density of viral particles in an environment affects the statistical odds that a vector transfers that viral cell into your body. The virus particles have to compete with bacteria, microorganisms, and environmental conditions(especially UV). So that right there helps you see how more particles in an environment is key to making sure even one viable particle reaches the body. This is the primary reason for why masks are most effective when all people in an environment are using them because it reduces the discharged viral load into a given space and reduces the possible vectors for invading new hosts.

Its also not like in movies where one drop of the zombie blood hits the corner of your mouth where there is a tiny cut and you're suddenly a zombie. Even HIV and Sars-COV-2 are going to have to establish themselves before they can really infect the body in earnest despite the fact that both have many tricks to evade immune responses. First responders who come in contact with infected blood, for example, can take certain drugs to help reduce the chance that the infection will establish itself. You can be covered head to toe in HIV infected blood and potentially not get it(but I wouldn't recommend it).

I appreciate the explanation klompen, makes sense.

my friend is a special needs teacher. in person classrooms are limited to like 4 kids at a time. the rest is online.

Your friend is a saint. I am thankful they exist.

I think kids who grow up on a farm are much better rounded people than those who attend the mega schools. I personally think the socializing thing is bullshit. Do I have to say dude?

Computer generated curriculae does not necessarily mean screen time by the way. It just means standardized.

im not a troglodyte, lol. sure use computers to produce the material. but i think you know thats not what i was talking about. i was always taking about children's screen time

i think it depends on the schools, if they do a good job, they teach kids a lot about social interactions, how we are all different and can still have fun, lots of socializing happens in the play ground. for average kids i feel its mostly beneficial if they have to learn to navigate the play ground.

but yes, smaller classes are way more efficient when it comes to learning. i think 20 is about right

the problem is we are actually not letting the professionals speak. you tube, facebook etc are all deleting anything that goes against the msm narrative. they have shut down doctors, virologists and many other scientists who are all sounding warning bells about the net effect of the lock down compared to the net effect of covid.

Interest rates are as low as they can get. This would be an ideal time to invest in our educational system. Adding smaller classrooms, and modifying the vent systems of the existing schools would be the right thing to do.
An investment in education is good for our children today, and our country tomorrow.
The same being true of for medicare for all.

I wouldn't be getting my info from FB, Youtube or any other social media platforms. When the POTUS puts a Dr on TV that thinks Aliens and Demon sperm is a thing it's mind blowing people believe what they say, than he makes a Radiologist the head of the covid task force replacing Dr.Fauci is just another reason its all political BS. I'm gonna take the advice from Dr's in the field of Virology!!

this is where i get my info on stats here, it will show you all the orders and advice they put out re covid with dates and numbers.

you can see when schools were opened with half classes, when they went back to full classes, etc.

the point remains, msm and the tech monopolies are trying to control the information. this alone is a bad sign.
