    The start delay is smart. Unfortunately The people in power in this state will make sure that HS football is the very last thing cut.

    Oh man. That is a good one. That will trigger his narcissism big time.

    Where did you get this stat?

    You would think this would be the case. But it’s not.

    Eanes is going to lose about 15-20% based on informal discussions with my wife. Several are going to wait until 8/31 trs credit date which will put the districts in an even bigger bind. This is going to be real bad.

    I’m sure it been said but this is going to blow up in a terribly racist fashion at some point this season.

    Camp longhorn cancelled a session at Ranch (Indian Springs) and moved the rest of the sessions to 1 week. We are just going to take a refund. I’m not all that worried about my kid getting sick enough to be hospitalized, but one week of camp is just not worth it for her.

    Yes. It’s an antigen test I believe.

    Sorry buddy. Hope you are negative. My daughter had a real rough couple of days. Our quarantine sucked. Some of my extended family are medical professionals and the general consensus is the rapid test is junk. The only real way to test for this virus is to grow a culture. That is why it takes 2-3 days for an accurate result.

    Dude. My teenage daughter got covid a few weeks ago after one of these parties. Literally she picked it up at a lake party in Austin- no not the LT pongparty. But something similar. Was sick for a week. It sucked and does suck really really bad for everyone in the family. A few really really bad. My wife has asked me to hold off on posting details here for privacy reasons but i can assure you this this shit is real.

    Holy shit. Amazing.

    Without question... But shit like this is going to force the hand of governing bodies when 1/6th of them get sick in a month. If these fuckers could just stay home for like 6 weeks we could have things this fall - like school. And football. And restaurants. And bars. But they don’t. So we won’t.

    I know all this shit is serious as hell but saying Quitobaquito Springs is fun and I'm going to say it 9 times today.

    He just buried this in some good old fashion racism.

    I don’t think it is an education thing as much as a POV issue. The people I know that evaluate issues in absolute terms tend to be Trumpers in my world. They see issues as either A or B with no gray area. Many of those same people also harbor a fear of change and have professed this to me in conversations. However they are all highly educated people. It’s just a waste of time to talk politics with them.

    I know what it says. I’m telling you the reality of what is happening. You are competing for a limited number of spots on campus. All survey responses are prioritized by time stamp. You have the weekend to decide. You wait till July you can be assured remote learning. I could be wrong of course but my guess is that about 70% of respondents will choose on campus. Capacity is no where near this number. Trust me on this. My last name is on the R2R document.

    No. You have the weekend to decide.

    Have you had to piss needles and then conjugate verbs? Not easy.

    I cant emphasize this enough - if you want your kids back on campus, get that survey in. Ive see how they are time stamping responses. There is a hard cutoff number for the district. There is no preference for age, grad year, or athletes. There are a few select groups that will receive preference, but those groups are relatively small in number: SPED, Children of district employees, free/reduced cost lunch, and kids that are academically at risk (failed std tests).

    Its not that simple. My wife has been on the same district R2R committee from the get-go - there are multiple issues involved WRT/ space and educators willing to teach on-campus many dictated by the state and tea rather than local preference. I have heard nearly every one of these calls and I can assure you the path that our district is taking is the best one. Just make sure you fill out the survey ASAP on Monday morning and your kid will be fine.
