The local public school is theoretically open. But in practice, they shut down whole classrooms for two weeks whenever any kid comes into contact with a COVID-positive person. The classes just started but several classrooms have been shut down and sent to Zoom for two weeks. The mothers – who were hoping to be able to go back to work in peace – are hysterical.
There’s no indication that this lunacy is ever going to end.
Public education is dead, my friends. The teachers either torture kids with Zoom or teach middle-schoolers that if they are white, their very existence is harmful (true story. I talked to the devastated mother of one of such kids yesterday.)

They are doing the same thing everywhere it seems. Data be damned.

This is worse than an outright closure because it traps people with a false hope that the school will be open and they can plan their lives.
A friend’s daughter is having a nervous breakdown because she’s about to lose her job. She believed the school was going to be open and her kids can attend. But it closed down 3 days into the school year. This is torture for kids and parents.
