Remember, less than one percent of young children are going to die in public schools and if we work it right all the home-schooled and private school children of proper republican voters can come in under that, especially if we can get this vouchers for private schools thing worked out.
We just have to stop using liberal-based math and stick with trickle-down math.
Itâs amazing how she sounds exactly like Kate McKinnonâs parody version, which captured the mindless true-believer stupidity perfectly.
Meantime in the states that handled this the administrationâs way the virus is literally getting out of control.
And the bookcase looks like something generic and flat-packed from Ikea.
Blending into the woodwork so-to-speak.
Not Target, or Ikea bookshelves. Those shelves are fixed and not adjustable. She had them purposely built that way.
@ralph_vonholst canât flatpack fixed shelves.
That plastic shield system isnât enough, because kids interact with each other in many other ways besides sitting at desks. They walk down the halls, go to the restroom, eat lunch together. It just wonât work.
What would at least help, although not a complete solution, would be a switch to 50% at-home learning and 50% in-school on alternate days only. That would cut the class sizes in half, allowing desks to be spaced out, and reducing the number of kids in the building. Maybe even cut the in-person classes further, to 2 days a week, so kids get at least some class instruction and socialization while reducing transmission of the virus.
Of course this would require massive Federal assistance and funding, laptops for kids who donât have them, and it doesnât help parents without access to day care.
When asked during an interview on CNN Sunday morning about whether schools should follow CDC guidelines as they reopen â given how the agency has internally warned that the full reopening of K-12 schools would be the âhighest riskâ for COVID-19 spread â DeVos repeated the Trump administrationâs argument that Redfield âhas clearly said these are recommendations.â
To put it more simply, when asked if schools should follow CDC guidelines, the answer was âno.â
Classic FTD posture
Yâall still have school buses?? Ours were defunded out of existence years ago!
DeVos wants the public to fund private schools (where people like her school), charters (money-making for her friends, also union busting â it is a two-fer), and religious schools (we donât need no stinkinâ science). While warehousing the poors in inadequate situtions that keep the underclass enslaved.
She is no better than her brutal, mercenary brother.
Their lack of beveled edges and trim leads me to think Target or Ikea - wealthy people can be cheapskates in certain areas. Iâm sure thatâs just some extra room in the house she sits in for these things so the criminal underworld doesnât see her treasures.
Vampiric Feng-Shue
Get me a double jack sledge hammer and Iâll flatpack any of your furniture up a treat or two, mate.

Indeed - the Netherlands is not the U.S. but we could do both. 50% with spacing, masks, lunches brought to the classroom, and shields. But we are not ready for any of that yet. Covid is too prevalent. Rather than focusing on opening businesses the Administration shouldâve been looking at how to open schools safely. Nope, it was more important to get those bars, restaurants and gyms on-line. It is all upside down.
ETA: Our daughterâs boyfriend is a middle school band teacher in rural school district. On-line learning is not a good substitute for a band room.
In the past two months, Trump has played golf more times than he has met with Dr. Fauci.
Her lighting gives a âThe flesh, eating zombies are just outside the door, I have to make this quickâ feeling.
Of course the plot twist, she is the flesh eating zombie.
We can do the same but the results will vary. American Trumpian exceptionalism will see to that.
Instead of an âall hands on deckâ approach against an out of control pandemic, theyâre busy digging up oppo research on their own public health experts. You canât make this stuff up, itâs so insane.

WH staff sends an oppo file on Fauci over to @jdawsey1 !
ââŚattaching a lengthy list of the scientistâs comments from early in the outbreakâ
Chiselinâ Trump is not going to be pleased by DeVosâs boastful demonstration of how easily she can drink water.
DeVos: âIf youâre impressed by my water drinking skills, you should see me drink the kool-aid.â
