I've checked out for the school year. I'm so used to remote teaching that if we ever have to go back, I'll be so unmotivated. It'll be cool to see the kids though.

Do you ever remote teach from the toilet?

I get on Facebook this morning and see all these people posting pics of their Easter weekend packed together celebrating.

Ha. Honestly, I don't "teach" per se that much. It's a lot of posting the activities online and the kids completing them--tough **** too and @Thriller would appreciate this because he's likely read it, but as one example, my kids had to read an excerpt from Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies and over a few days, complete vocabulary activities, answer questions, and write an intelligent extended paragraph on it. That’s **** produced by The College Board that we use for our students who read at about a 6th grade level...I'll do a Zoom once or twice a week, a Screencastify once or twice, and maybe Speakpipe just for audio, but it's a lot of me just grading my *** off, fielding dumb questions from students, and reaching out to parents nonstop because their kids aren't doing the work, all while my wife tries to work here and we try to corral our three little ones. Not easy. I've probably woken up around 5:30am on average just to get grading done in peace and quiet and so I am not as stressed during the day. There's really zero sense in sticking to the normal school schedule because the students don't even wake up til around 1-2PM. Many are too busy living with parents who've been laid off, and/or in badly dysfunctional households, and/or watching their younger siblings during the day (this is many of them--watch them, cook, clean, etc.) so even if they do wake up on a relatively timely basis, completing work is often next to impossible. They're kids. In the middle of a pandemic. In the town in the county that's been hardest hit by it. Some teachers are doing a Zoom with all of their classes during the day and that's retarded. Literally 1-3 kids show up per class out of a class of 25. Others are having their work due by 3-4pm. Equally as retarded. Now's not the time to play tough guy. I swear, I work with so many cluelessly, incompetent people. These are adults with children at home who can't manage to submit their lesson plans on time but yet balk if a kid turns in work late in the middle of this. Complete assholes, frankly. I basically told the kids before we left. " Just find a way to get the work done. You have the internet and each other at your disposal. Get it done somehow. Effort is graded."

Considering the population difference, why would total numbers matter?

For the love, can people start doing per capita? It's not difficult. I think Italy is around 5x higher than the USA in that regard.

Right now the US is at just over 62 deaths per million people. By comparison, Italy is at 322 deaths per million.

It is not. I don't think Fauci has done anything remarkable and is possibly causing more fear than necessary.

Thats fine but the reason why trump would fire him is the issue. See trump fires anyone and everyone who doesnt do and say exactly what he wants them to. Thats obviously bad.
