Pretty sure it’s illegal for cops to strike
just drivin' round in John Voight's car
I'd imagine that most non-intro level classes at most schools are live on zoom.
Incredible first post. Perfect.
I work in IT at a large university. Some of our teachers teach in person, and some are remote. Classrooms are open to everyone. I use Windows Task Scheduler to start the Zooms automatically each day and then spend 10-15 minutes at each class period remote controlling classroom computers and making sure they launched. It's nice because the building isn't so quiet anymore. We are in week 6 now and we have students coming back and when I have asked what brought them in they say it's because they see the classroom join. I think it is good for the students to see the classroom and know it will not be like this forever.
Is this WakeandBake’s non-union Mexican equivalent?
Having done a few chemistry classes, there are a few approaches
1)Professor does the simulations and videotapes them. Students completely lose out on physical techniques but get experience writing a lab report, analyzing and calculating the data, and properly keeping a notebook. First part kind of sucks, but at least this setup is shutdown proof.
2)Lab kits-basically, much larger chemistry sets. Experiments seemed to work ok (not like student reliably get better data in the lab anyway) but a)these were expensive, b)the company was unprepared for the increase in demand, and shipments were weeks late (and the one I did was a summer course) and c)I had little way of personally monitoring their technique, or whether they weren't just faking the data. I made them send pictures. I hinted that I might make the videotape the whole thing, but I can't imagine they were dumb enough to think that I would be watching 24 hours of videos of students performing experiments.
3)If the lecture and the lab are coupled in the same course, it usually meets 2-3 times a week to account for all hours in both sections. Split the class in half (or thirds), and have every class meeting do a socially distanced lab on a different day, and make the lecture portion asynchronous. If you feel safe in a socially distance environment, this works pretty well for the lab part. The downside is that students adapt poorly to asynchronous experiences in general, and they also lose out on the lab partner experience.
WFU just suspended an unnamed student organization for off campus partying. Also, apparently there was an off campus party at which the floor of the rental house collapsed. Can't quite tell if this is the same or two different events. Anyone know the scoop?

Edit: They were the same events. https://www.wxii12.com/article/wake-...lapse/35664631

My nephew is a sophomore at Wake. Much of what you say is correct. I'll add that forcing 20/21 year olds to live on campus is ludicrous and doesn't help the cause.
I think you misspelled "lucrative"
seems relevant:

Well, what do you expect for a measly 70 grand a year?
that headline did not really match the story at all. There was a FedEx delay because of a winter storm.
Hmmm Where else have i seen people downplaying the pandemic in an effort to... make money? Win elections? Own the lubes? Its right there on the tip of my tongue... <snapping fingers to help jog my memory> sorry, the hypocrisy escapes me. Maybe later.
Many schools in NC sent their students home for the entire fall semester (UNC, State, ECU) and some only allowed half their students to attend at a time (Duke). Wake has allowed all students on campus since the start of the pandemic. In the fall Wake had 668 cases of COVID in students, faculty, and staff, and in the spring they have had 919, so far.
Can verify there was some significant screw up of the testing results for students in the last few weeks.
I love mankind...it’s people I can’t stand!!
Studies have shown that the school systems that are still not in person are in areas with stronger unions. CBSNews reported that weeks ago. It's not nonsense. It's the truth.
The sad part is that these are usually in areas with significant socioeconomic problems, where the school provides food and a safe space for these children. In that case, these teachers' unions are the ones killing children.
Hoo boy. Look at this human filth that the cat drug in.
You do realize that members of those teachers unions have been providing food, clothing and others forms of assistance to children in low income areas this entire time though? Others have been working from home, yes, but also putting in countless extra hours to create an entire new curriculum that jives with remote learning. I also assume that for you to be on this high horse, that you have been out interacting with people living "in areas with significant socioeconomic problems" without proper PPE and social distancing during the pandemic? That you've been risking your life, and the lives of your family, because its "your job"?
Because if not, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up. Stick to commentating on your meaningless white color job, because society doesn't need you or your opinions.

A solid Freudian slip
You know nothing about me, what I do or how I spend my time, yet you sit at your computer and make assumptions, but I am the one on a high horse?
It's a fact that depression is higher amongst children. It's a fact that suicide is higher amongst children. It's a fact that children with the greatest needs use school for necessary essential services to supplement what is not being provided at home. It's a fact that school systems who are meeting five days a week have not contributed to community spread. It's also a fact that teachers unions are the greatest threat to returning to school in-person.
When children don't return to school, they are depressed, they commit suicide, they don't get necessary essential services to supplement what is not being provided at home - and it has NOTHING to do with community spread.
We as a society have used access to schools to provide these services for these children. That is not on teachers' unions. What is on teachers' unions is the fact that they have worked to delay the return as much as possible, once we as a society figured out how to safely do so. Since that time, those tragedies that have occurred fit squarely upon their backs.
