California overall numbers for tests and hospitalizations seems pretty good. This should be safe with the daily testing. Still a clear sign of what matters, when the same measures aren't put forth to make in person learning happen. $$$$$

The Palo Alto School Board voted on Tuesday to send K-5 kids back to school starting Oct. 26.  But it is a hybrid schedule whereby kids go to school 2.5 days/week, and the rest of the time they’ll be regressing to the horrific “asynchronous learning” of the spring.  That’s an enormous step backward from where my 5th grader is today - at least attendance is being taken and they are with their teachers full-time, albeit remotely. You can bet that YouTube and Roblox are going to be very popular in my home on those so-called “asynchronous learning” days. 

While there is some talk of the possibility of weekly PCR testing for teachers, there is really nothing on the level of daily antigen testing or even temperature-taking.  And there’s no proactive testing planned for students, who actually constitute the real risk to teachers.  

So, back to your point... we are making K-5 education happen, but very ineptly next to Germany, S. Korea and other countries that have their acts together.

I read that the asynchronous portion was only 3-4 hours per week in Palo Alto.

I read that the asynchronous potion was only 3-4 hours per week in Palo Alto.

Meanwhile, in New York City, yesterday the high schools opened up for in-person teaching, my son-in-law was scheduled to teach Math to eights students in a socially distanced classroom.  However, only two showed up (the other six opted for remote teaching at the last minute).  He said that he provided a very personalized day of instruction to the two kids.

Is Trump taking credit for this as well?

Expect him at the 50 at the horseshoe in Columbus taking all the credit for big 10 while hes got covid.

Global soccer has been ok, but teams had to cancel games last minute cos too many players got tested positive.

Hi Luckydev 18,
I see you are pretty new to the board, so I wanted to let you know that there is a pretty strict no politics rule.  If you go over to the COVID 19 side, you will see that the rule has been relaxed because it is impossible to discuss COVID 19 without including the current government and politicians' conduct.  The rule for discussing sports here is that it should be left to sports and not include political commentary, no matter how accurate it is or isn't.  Those who established the board set the rule quite a while ago and it seems to work pretty well.  I like it because there are politics in every other aspect of life these days and I like having a clean zone just to focus on Stanford sports.   Thanks for your post.  
Cheers,
Pete F.

Hey, Pete,

Regarding the last sentence in your post, I think you need to amend it to the following:

“...just to focus on Stanford sports, MLB trivia and Giants baseball.”  :)
