    Let us not use derogatory terms, lest my inbox fills up with reports and I get cranky.

    Hopefully you live somewhere that you can make a choice about if you send your kids to school or not. In my city we have the option of online through MU or in-person. I know that the state also has an online option. Parson is a freaking idiot, I am patiently waiting for him to be forced into making some sort of decision instead of "we'll just leave it to the counties/cities"

    My issue with that is one my son plays football so the odds of getting him to just use a computer at home is basically none. He already had a fit about school being cancelled this past year, he just doesn't really understand so it's a difficult spot. And they completely are awful with the online learning so I feel like I have no answer.

    There's a lot we don't know about covid, kids, and how much risk or not there is of kids spreading the disease at this point. Just because they don't die, that doesn't mean that's the only consideration.

    Still debating if I should buy New World and give my free time to Amazon too.

    So tempting though..... I think I'm on the rebound since Everquest fell through and Amazon is taking advantage of me.

    Please Amazon, I'm fragile and emotional.

    Schools are a petri dish to begin with, you also have some kids with shoddy immune systems, classes of 30 people, older teachers, the high school here has like 1200 kids in it....how does this remotely sound like a good idea?

    Oh dang, sports are definitely a driving factor for some. My son played soccer and would have rather died than miss practice most days. I hope there's a solution that makes everyone happy soon. Is his school going to require masks and handwashing breaks at least?
