Welp, there goes the NC State game.

[confucius say]

I realize internet arguments are not supposed to ever be resolved, but what kind of answer are you expecting for that question? Its not as simple as its better for kids to be in school, but if the teachers die, too bad right?

An explanation as to why, on balance, it is more important to do what is best for teachers than do what is best for students.

Of course not. Teachers who are vulnerable shouldn't be there. Teachers should wear masks, or shields, and students (above second grade or so) should wear masks. There should be very limited interaction by teachers within 6 feet of students. Put smart measures in place, Like every other person who goes to work.

Would love an answer. Last time you spent a day in a school and watched it function?

Tell me how you social distance 14 trailers with 30 desks that have to touch each other in order to fit?

But we should still have football because that's safe? Do you see how little sense that makes?? Teachers should social distance from their students and students should social distance from each other. But football is ok even though they touch, breathe, and sweat on each other.

Bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.
