Catholic schools in California are seeking waivers to open for in-person learning. In Nevada County, one has gone back to class.

Inside Mount St. Mary’s Academy, a Catholic school in this Gold Rush town in the Sierra Nevada foothills, a life-size statue of the Virgin Mary stands sentinel over the check-in table at the front door. Students returning for the fall session stop under her watchful gaze for a modern ritual of pandemic life: temperature check, hand sanitizer, questions on their potential as virus vectors.

“Obviously we are all learning as we go,” Snyder said. But he is adamant that kids belong in class and that smaller, private schools like his are “nimble” enough to do it safely. In Grass Valley, a place where local Wendy Ermshar said “you’ll see Trump stuff everywhere and then you’ll see Black Lives Matter stuff everywhere,” some see Mount St. Mary’s as engaging in arrogant foolishness, while others see it providing an essential service.Weeks ago, Gov.

Gone are high-fives and embraces when children greet teachers. In their place, first-graders will do what teacher Carol Kent describes as a “lobster hug,” where she faces her student from the requisite six feet, bends slightly at the waist with her arms outstretched and wiggles her fingers toward the child.

Mistakes at least give you feedback on what not to do assuming the information is accurate. Bad information is one of the most dangerous things we do hoping reactions don't go off the rails. The process is the wow.

A mistake.

ITS A FUCKING MISTAKE

100% mistake, we shouldn’t let our children be experimental guinea pigs. With no vaccine yet, there shouldn’t be in person learning. We all saw what happened in Israel when they “thought” they had the virus under control, now their kids are paying the price and cases are rising!

Have the politicians send their kids there first

The question cannot be answered, but that is not a problem if you're A-OK with using children and teachers as test subjects in a deadly experiment.

...my prediction is that it will be a model.

Until there's a vaccine, it's a mistake.
