https://twitter.com/capitolfax/status/1284212784482287617 don't worry I'm sure Lightfoot and to a lesser extent Pritzker will come out and scold all the dumb young people for going to the bars that they reopened

Putting people in harms way is of course going to expose them. Indoor dining is stupid and reckless. I really fear for the Fall when things cool down again.

https://twitter.com/MarkMaxwellTV/status/1284179685451149313 If the Feds are involved then he has less ability to wiggle out. It is the same reason by Burke is going to be hosed. Their saving grace might be blue tsunami election in which the incoming DOJ and FBI becomes less interested in them but I doubt it.

At this point, I feel like even beyond him genuinely being pretty poo poo, it'd be worth getting Madigan out* just to force the IL GOP to come up with some new material. *Preferably by primarying him so the GOP can't take credit for it

Spoke with some friends who are involved in the city hospitals and also some city-level schools: there's going to be a big announcement regarding schools for the Fall for Monday the 20th, and that Pritzker will also be announcing that we might have to go into shutdown sometime in the fall since the hospitals may hit capacity before Thanksgiving.

Homeland Security making plans to deploy some 150 agents in Chicago this week, with scope of duty unknownquote:The Homeland Security Investigations, or HSI, agents are set to assist other federal law enforcement and Chicago police in crime-fighting efforts, according to sources familiar with the matter, though a specific plan on what the agents will be doing had not been made public. Looks like this has been confirmed.

I do not expect Pritzker to change anything with schools. Talked with other teachers and we all expect to start school in person and be back to remote learning between 3 and 6 weeks later. Part of my classes is just going to be getting students prepared for remote learning again. As for shutdown by Thanksgiving, I can totally see that happening. We will start an uptick in cases (already are in several places) and our only hope that is treatments by the fall reduce hospitalizations (like they seemingly have with deaths). Also, what the hell are 175 fed troops going to do in Chicago? Are they going to stop the gang violence or are they just going to go after protestors? Edit: A local school put out their reopening plan and they blamed their mask policy on ISBE taking away funding for non compliant schools (which was proven false 2 weeks ago). I guess they would rather give out false information that makes people mad at ISBE than just take a stand. Bizarro Kanyon fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Jul 20, 2020 |

Based on what's happening in Portland, the feds are gonna shoot and gas as many people as possible for the crime of being outside.

The load of BS that DHS has spread is that it's for protection of federal property, which in Chicago would be the Dirksen Federal Building, and I'm not sure what else. Hopefully it amounts to a bunch of dorks in riot gear in 90 degree heat for a couple weeks.

Unit 5 in Normal and rural Bloomington has announced they're encouraging full time face to face. They are offering a remote option with Google Classroom and handing out chromebooks but ugh... The only thing that would lead me to optimism is how effective masks are proving. But I have two elementary school kids. They're not gonna be great at mask discipline, you know? We are keeping our kids home this semester but I am really not looking forward to this in any way.

I have a 5th grader and 3rd grader. We have started practicing wearing a mask at home. We are up to 2 hours. They want to see their friends and teacher (it will help once they do switch to remote learning). It is just going to be another adjustment. We have already sent a message to our students that remote learning will be held to a higher standard than last spring.

My wife and I are both working from home at least through the end of the year, and we're not sending them to school when we're not comfortable going back to the office. At least it sounds like it'll be better than the remote learning from the end of the spring semester was.

My wife is working from home indefinitely and wants to keep the kids home. I don't know how much good that will do given the fact that I will be standing in the plague zone for 6 hours a day. I'm totally cool with it for my older kids, but I've got one entering first grade and I'm already worried about how much he missed in the spring despite our best efforts.

We're doing remote learning also. We both are working from home for the forseeable future and though we're all sick of each other's faces we'd miss each other if we died, so. Yeah. The less kids in the school the easier it'll be for those who have to be there to distance.

I work for a K-12 education company and we have just been slammed by people requesting the online versions to our programs. I specifically work with private schools in the Midwest that use our older programs. Some of these principals are pissed to find out we don’t offer online learning for textbooks printed in 2002.

School cutting budgets for textbook replacements has been a thing for at least 40 years. I remember being in school in the mid 90s using books that were printed in the mid 70s, before I was born. You would run into things like it saying the President is Richard Nixon and how by the 1990s we would be doing things like living on the Moon. Oh and racist things that were acceptable then. I do wonder how much of the push from the Government to reopen schools is to not shine a light of all the massive budget shortfalls education has had over the last 40 years.

I have been teaching for 13 years now and have not used a textbook for the last 10. I teach at an alternative Ed high school so we already had old books that rarely got updated. I got tired of the books and just created my own guided notes, worksheets, projects and test.

Or chemistry? Or physics? If they're physically falling apart that's one thing, but it's not like high school level foundational content has changed in 15 years.

Yeah, they're falling apart. But also the core standards have changed at least twice since then. I know we can all sit back and say that math doesn't change, but the way it's taught since I graduated high school in 1999 sure has. Big difference in 14 years of texts. e: also the chemistry and physics books in my high school are older than my algebra books. I'm not as up to date on the science standards but pretty sure those have changed a few times as well. Devo fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Jul 23, 2020 |

On the other hand, freshmen at UofI are still using the latest edition of the same book we used for physics AP at Taft.

At the school board meeting for my kids' district here in Bloomington/Normal, every parent and teacher that showed up to the meeting spoke against reopening for in-person learning. Board voted unanimously to approve the plan anyway, though everyone is pointing out that they might not get enough staff willing to show up in person to actually open anyway, so I guess we'll see what happens.

Another day of big case counts and increasing positivity rates. Opening schools will be an unmitigated disaster. Hopefully the unions stand strong across the state and refuse to return to blatantly unsafe working conditions.
