Clark County School District in Nevada, the nation's fifth-largest school district, wants to reopen as "quickly as possible" following a rash of student suicides, according to a new report.
There were 18 suicides in the nine months that the schools were closed due to the coronavirus lockdown, which is double the amount of suicides in all of the previous year, according to the New York Times.
"By July, after the sixth suicide since March, the district invested in a program, the GoGuardian Beacon alert system, to send reports of mild to severe suicide risk," the report said. "The system, which scans student writings on district-issued iPads, generated more than 3,100 alerts from June to October, indicating behavior such as suicide research, self-harm, written comments, or just the need for help or support."
"When we started to see the uptick in children taking their lives, we knew it wasn't just the Covid numbers we need to look at anymore," Jesus Jara, Clark County superintendent, said.

I suspect there will be a teen baby boom sny time now too
I think it’s more than that.

Larry O’Connor, on WMAL today, had audio from a recent local school board meeting where a man was VERY vocal, saying that even the men who pick up his garbage every day risk their lives far more than these wimpy teachers ever do.
A lot of parents have now learned that home-schooling is a real possibility. Hopefully, the public schools will soon see a pretty large exodus. The kids aren’t getting a decent education, anyway, in the best of times. Why should people put up with this?
The China Virus “pandemic” seems tailor made for those who desire America’s demise.

It’s all part of the plan of the ChiComs and the DNC. Have no doubt.
That video is maddening. The reaction of the school board is so callous. They didn’t even bother to address the issues raised by this father.
Homicide? Are you sure? Students aren’t committing suicide over schooling. They’re committing suicide due to lack of social contact and inability to cope.
I’m not so sure it’s a bad thing. Thinning the herd of the weak has it’s advantages. Many wont agree with this but we have failed to prepare them for life through over-protection and cossetting. Helicopter parenting.
