What are you going to do?

Would be interested to see what she said and her reasoning why. 

I think she was saying short to mid length cancellation isn't going to work 2-4 weeks.

Most of the country won't be going back to school this year

That and the TP industry

Minnesota's governor called off school. Teachers (at least in my district) are going to be working the entire time. So there is no time for any hanky around here.

SC schools are closed through March 31. I bet it goes longer. We have to come into work today and tomorrow to be prepared for e-learning.

NYC mayor and Ohio governor both said it is likely that they won't go back this academic year and De Blasio even said this calendar year is a possibility. 

I have heard several experts say that closing schools is just one of the many things that we need to do. I am guessing that as testing ramps up, we will see the # of cases explode this week. If we are at 3,000 confirmed, that means we are likely at at least 50,000 in real time. Several experts have said that we have to act like everyone has it, stay home if at all possible, and ride this thing out. If we get to 1% of the population having this thing, then social distancing won't matter and it will very likely overwhelm our country. Pray that doesn't happen.

I think we will work with our two little boys on some school stuff each day. We will exercise some, read bibles, and have some family time. We are gonna go out in the woods and build a fort. Got some good books to read on Churchill, Jefferson, and thinking about buying Gulag Archipelago (that should get me through the winter). Definitely play some wiffle ball and have some nerf gun wars. Just got a couples devotional called Night Lights, so now we have no excuse not to get that done each day. Should be a good time for families to slow down and talk and really enjoy each other. It also makes for an interesting sociological experiment. 

Me and my wife try to take a good nap at least once every 2 days. Maybe twice on the weekend...

Illinois' Gov just announced that the grades for the e-learning can't count, so I'm sure that it will be highly worthwhile...

My wife who is a teacher told me that last night before I went to work amd the city we live in's school district (not where my kids go) just announced the same thing this morning.

Hell, kids probably weren't going to do it before, they're certainly not now.

Are they going to wave all of these state tests?
I can’t see how they can count this against the kids?

I just posted my first Chemistry lesson on YouTube. It is gonna be a fun spring... on a positive note, I get to represent the state of UT for some new coaching publication "The Coaches Lounge" for next week. Gonna be doing an article on "Developing Your Football Program". Year-Round organization and tricks to develop infrastructure as well as student-atheltes for your program. Should be fun.

We got through day one yesterday. Staff reported on Monday to get the finalized plan from administration and to support each other as needed with getting stiff as Schoology. After that we will not be required back in the building before this whole thing is over, which if you listen to our governor will likely not be till the end of the school year.

I will say though I was presently surprised with how many kids were getting stuff done yesterday. Hopefully that continues as this thing drags on.

We're shutdown for at least two weeks, prepping for an extended period of time however. It's a weird feeling, ya know. For the better part of the last six months, I've had some sort of after school related activity take place, five days a week. Now I have to sit at home, monitor my health & the health of my loved ones, monitor my students. You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone.

I'm spending this time getting to know the game that I love better. We know each other, & getting to know more every day. But now I can grow. Hell, I think the game is going to come out of this thing in better shape than when it went in. I'm going to miss my students, our players, & the time I get to spend in the weight room & on the field with baseball. I'm in my classroom today until 3 pm EDT then after that, I dunno.

I look forward to being more active on this board. I look forward to learning more, all whilst getting to live a little away from the game & school as well. Enjoy this time gents, cherish this opportunity that we get to spend with loved ones & each other.

Stay frosty bros!

I'm going to cut wood. My lessons will be easy to grade if they come in and count. If this darn rain will stay back might get to work in garden. The only thing will piss me off will be if they make us try to make this up. You can't make up crazy. Been doing this 28 years. Made it through a lot of crap. This can make it through.
