You can support a lockdown as a whole while still having issues with some of the specific nonsensical poo poo that is being shut down or otherwise interfered with.

There's a bunch of whiners out there, but things are slowly opening up anyway so they'll looks even more ridiculous as time passes. Also his challenger so far is Tim "Campaign Fraud" Eyman. After 2016 never gonna be 100% sure, but Inslee should win. He has handled this about as well as can be expected imo, but since we aren't New York no one nationally is paying any attention to us.

Figured out why so many people from out of town are in grocery stores out here. I had to drive up to the pass for work. Summit is packed. Every condo / cabin up there looks occupied. Not normally a busy time up there. It’s that snow/muddy time of year.

I’d have a much easier time with the trig. Number bonds for weeks now make us want to claw our eyes out. But the worst thing is the tiered programs that don’t really work. Log into schology to log into clever to log into stemscopedia, to not have the mandatory crap on the syllabus be there is super irritating. I’m really coming to hate common core too. I also love that they casually drop things one needed to have prepared ahead of time in videos with a heads up: now get out x,y, and z that we are only mentioning now four minutes into a video as your child melts down because you don’t have it.

A lot of people who know how to teach have no idea how to use technology, and a lot of people who know how to use technology have no idea how to teach or write curriculum (remote or otherwise). The administration level of most education institutions has heretofore focused on pitting these two groups against each other for decades to make them both desperate so they can strip out labour protections and benefits. Our current mess is the result.

My wife gets pretty burnt out by 3 on the week days because I have to work. So if I’m not in the field, it is put out relish tray and mixed wine cocktails at 3. I’m mostly WFH so I’ve been doing all the kitchen work too. I genuinely don’t know how single parents or both parents working are surviving this.

Not sure if the diner has a liquor license or who regulates restaurants but seems like a dangerous game. Javid posted:A restaurant in my town just announced they're reopening this week. Yeah there’s an informal skate park near where I live and whenever it’s sunny it’s pretty crowded. No real social distancing but my feel is people in Portland are increasingly less and less concerned about catching it. Foot traffic and street traffic has been picking back up quite a bit, mask use is maybe 3 out of 10. And not like I’m in chudville or whatever. I’m in Buckman.

And the teachers won't stop sending emails about how my kid needs to do this or that thing online. My daughter is 10 and in elementary school, and my wife and I are both working from home. And we have a 5 year old to look after as well. My daughter has six different online learning platforms which they expect me to keep track of. Her classroom teacher has called twice and the music teacher called at 4:30 on a Friday to tell us that it really isn't hard to get her set up on *some online bullshit* so could we please do that. Then she continued to send nagging emails until the classroom teachers had heard from enough parents that she was made to send an apology email. I no longer give a gently caress. M y kid is crushing the Khan academy math tests, plays online math games, and reads for 4 hours a day. She also voluntarily does the video PE lessons.

Franklin County passed a thing about how Inslee's shutdown didn't apply there, it made all the news, then they finally called their lawyer and they quietly repealed it two days later. A couple cities have done the same - passed anti-shutdown resolutions, made the news, then realized they shouldn't actually do that and are open to lawsuits, and repealed it. When the rubber meets the road, counties and cities can have public health restrictions that are stricter than the state, but nobody can be less strict that the state allows. Anybody who tries will get a legal hammer coming their way very quickly.

The teachers are well acquainted with the online learning platforms and they teach them to the kids in the first couple weeks. But they forget what it was like when they were first trying to learn all of them at once. Also, according to the district they are supposed to assign 60-90 minutes of activity for elementary students, but there is some major lesson bloat going on. My kid has more like 5 hours assigned each day. Ultimately, I think both issues would be solved by the school district and administrators managing harder and enforcing the stated guidelines as well as getting them to all stick to two or fewer platforms. I doubt it will happen though.
