“It was kind of a no brainer that kids can spread it just like they do everything else.”
It was a no brainer. I was hoping those researchers were correct.
I can see the need for schools. Example: My sister in-law mother is having a hard time getting her three boys to pay attention to online classes. There father is out of the picture.
I can see a reason not to have school too. I guess America needs to adapt and overcome. We need to have two parent families and only one parent working.
My boys homeschooled all the way through and I saved virtual classes when they were 9th grade and up and even then it was online reading and answering questions, Quizzes, projects and papers, very few video presentations. Even now doing college online, my son turns on Cc and reads through the presentation.
I loved Abeka, and Math-u-see when my boys were young, Saxon math for middle school. My oldest had a hard time sitting still so it was 10 minutes on, 5 minutes running around, lol. He could sit through an hour by high school though.
So many researchers are rushing to make a name for themselves with COVID. Studies are being rushed, poorly designed, using bad or suspect data, and producing highly questionable conclusions. Some are little better than Sir Bedevere in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. At this point, the masses don't trust the researchers, as they are constantly flip flopping. Of course the earlier politicization of the media and science had already degraded that trust significantly.
