At least around where I live E-learning is an option. How can schools be liable when parents CHOOSE to send them? No school should be held liable when a kid get covid. Every parent has a choice whether to send your children to school or let them be involved in extracurricular activities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conservatives have a sense of humor. Libs. Eh. Haven’t met one yet. 😉 Just saw this. Facts matter people. FACTS over fear. LETS ROLL!!!!!! See you 8/14 and 8/15 If we don’t push back and say no, the powers that be are going to keep pushing things on us the vast majority do not want. I just went to CDC site myself and saw that 15-24 year olds, nationwide have had 142 deaths. All of which had PE conditions. It’s out of control what the Govt, IHSAA, schools and so on are doing here. Missing school, work, being locked down, missing sports, band events, Cancelled/postponed weddings, not having visitors when you are 80 years old in Nursing Home and lonely, cancelled family vacations, Church closings will all take a mental and physical toll on people. What is going to be the long term effects from these things? A lot worse than the virus. I’m not even taking into account that during the lockdown, alcohol abuse went up, as did spousal abuse, suicides and many more unintended consequences. It’s time to say no and say what we all know to be true. Let’s open everything up, use common sense and move on. It’s life and we can’t live life in the state of fear from the unknown. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt matter what we think. Schools have liability to consider. As opposed to just covering their backsides liability wise, perhaps they should consider the kids mental health by being locked in their homes for 3/4 if a year without school or contact with their friends. Find a solution to the liability as opposed to cancelling everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then, all have elected (or re-elected) Democratic governors and other State-wide officials. Previous elections had large Democratic margins in those States, and if the pattern seen in gubernatorial races repeats in 2020, DJT then loses the Electoral College.

I agree with you in theory, but, once there are positive tests, what happens.? Parents have to sign waivers saying the school district carries no responsibility for their safety, concerning this issue. I know you know how schools think. They are not going to accept any liability. Teenage virus infections are a small percentage...and I really miss the games. Its been a rough year. Senior boys may have only one chance to start.. They have waited all their lives to start and play. This year. But what does the school do when 2 kids on the varsity test positive? Drop them from the team for 10 days to 2 weeks?

oldunclemark Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Titan. Its not that easy. Numbers are not a problem at big schools but they are at small ones. Some 1A schools dont have freshman or JV teams But its bigger than that. If kids test positive, how long can the school keep holding practices and games....? Legally, how long can they do it before they get shut down by the administration.? Liability is the line in the sand. Schools wont accept liability for giving a minor a virus that, in extreme situations, could kill him. Lawyers could bring the season to a halt. .
