I live in a hell hole of a state known as Virginia. Today the public school my kids go to sent this email out to all parents. Virginia is making the cure for the virus worse than the virus itself. If I stay here my kids will receive only 50% of the education of the rest of the world. What the fuck can I do? I obviously responded with my opinions but it will fall on death ears. I am looking for jobs now out of this state. I'm a IT Professional with 10 years of experience so it shouldn't be too hard I hope.

"Good afternoon families. The school board unanimously approved option two for elementary, middle, and high schools. This means elementary students will be assigned to either the morning or afternoon group and will attend school for a half-day (three hours) on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

All middle and high school students will be divided into Groups 1 & 2 (50% each). Each group will take two classes in person every day (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday). Groups will alternate morning & afternoon sessions. When students are not attending classes in person, they will participate in synchronous remote learning at home. Each high school will have a slightly different schedule that will allow them to return to their regular schedules once schools fully reopen.

On Wednesdays, students will not attend school but will have opportunities to engage in additional offerings through student services such as counseling, social-emotional learning, cross-district, and school-based discussion forums, and student leadership training."
