jets Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Are schools up in Indy operating virtually or in-person?? I thought I remembered reading somewhere awhile back that all IPS schools were going to go virtual until like October?? Is that the case, and if so, does that include Warren and Ben Davis?? And aren't they playing football games?? Any other schools around the State operating as virtual, but still playing games? I'm hoping with the new CDC guidelines that we will be brought back to normal here real soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gov needs to take back the executive order that gave so many of these health depts all of this power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPS is not Warren, Ben Davis, North Central, Pike, Lawrence.... all in Marion County but they are their own township school systems. As to how they are teaching I don't know. I doubt any two are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Indianapolis Public Schools include Tech, Attucks, Shortridge, Washington and Manual. All other former IPS high schools have been closed due to charter school expansion throughout the inner city. Ben Davis, Warren, North Central, Pike, Southport, Perry Meridian, Decatur Central and the Lawrence schools are Marion County Township. IPS is virtual until October.

Howe Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Kids need to return to normal school. Especially IPS students. Parental guidance is their greatest weakness. Virtual classes will result in 30-40% not even logging in on any given day and running the streets instead. The human immune system is the key to stopping the spread. Our leaders have put their faith in sheltering in place and cheap non medical grade masks from China. Ridiculous! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I work in a manufacturing plant with over 1,000 union members where 80-90% refuse to wear masks or social distance. Our plant never shut down and has worked 10 hours per day 6-7 days per week since the coronavirus outbreak. We have had 5 people test positive for the coronavirus on two separate occasions. We have high tech temperature scanners for everyone who enters the plant. I observe hundreds of people playing cards at picnic tables each day during their breaks and lunch periods. They sit across from each other and no one is more than two feet from the other three workers. Our plant has had no further spread of the coronavirus during the past 3 and a half months. It would be interesting to conduct coronavirus antibody tests on the entire workforce. I would not be surprised if 50% or more tested positive. I suspect the workforce has developed herd immunity and that is the reason the virus has not spread for 3 and a half months 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping with the new CDC guidelines that we will be brought back to normal here real soon... Ben Davis is open in a hybrid schedule. Students A-K attend Monday/Tuesday, L-Z attend Thursday/Friday. They are virtual the days they are not in person. There are also several students on all virtual called Wayne @ Home. Warren and BD are in different school districts. I'm glad Marion County Department of Public Health decided to open schools this way. It plainly was not safe to open up all in person. We've seen other area schools try that and then have to switch to hybrid or virtual. Edited August 27, 2020 by BDGiant93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand wanting the world to return to normal, especially our small part of it but there are a lot of sick people and deaths from this virus.
