If true, even more reason to find a way to open up the schools. A charter school near us has already set up some classroom trailers, with A/C, to be ready for the August start up. It's already 100 degrees here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO if a person has gone through it they gain a whole different perspective. Nothing wrong in showing that perspective by disagreeing with other opinions yeah death has no bias....

I hope you and your loved ones are not affected by what is going on either. It's so easy so apply cute little emojis against a post. However, it doesn't help those who have been affected by what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare numbers not add up to where we want them to be. It's so easy to blame media reports when percentages are off because the slightest difference means its all being played. But when you know of actual human cost, some take their ball and go home. Others group past comments together to say we might consider editing/retraction of those comments. Sad Very sad. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is in school already for the past months, in fact they are coming up on summer vacation - of course it is in another country. My wife and her went there as soon as the school district called classes for the year here in merikah. Now as it stands. I can't get into the country where they are at and they are going to have problems getting back here. Tomorrow the school district is supposed to release the plan. Then it is decision time for me. I have all but shut down my company - continuing to pay the few folks I had and if things continue I will not be able to do so without additional government help. So I can always plan to go be with them eventually if the travel restrictions are lifted for north Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, you get a bonus for knowing that. It's actually a well known term in IT in the US. Most training on software is now done via CBT.

He was quite athletic, did pool laps every morning. He was a prior University professor who set up his own software company - a very smart man. Was heavily into using CBT as the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least it used to. Too bad some Alpha Hotels like this idiot wasn't concerned about people. I tried, but could not verify that image. Thank you for removing it. My feelings about this individual will not change though. Edited July 14, 2020 by Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
