This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You are absolutely wrong. by ewillND
Even without the benefit of hindsight. We figured all of this shit out for you, but you all chose not to listen.
Kids need to be in school, or at a minimum be in contact regularly with other kids (note: I think my students actually suffered more in person than in remote learning, because I had to wear a mask, and most of them are non-native speakers, so they need the added visual benefit of seeing me talk about chemistry that was really fucking hard).
Ventilation worked. Testing worked. Masking worked. We had no viral spread in school, from May 2020 on. But y'all made it political rather than scientific, so here we are.
