Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Miss Bella]

that's why I said time needs to be taken to improve remote learning. Finding ways to make it easier for teachers, students, and parents

What about the parents that have to go to work.

I guarantee you I'm no fool. Oh BTW you liked one of the posts and I'm pretty sure I wasn't referring to the same rally you were. HA. Anybody that doesn't see how the media tries to manipulate the masses is a.....

I’m an equal opportunity liker/disliker

...whatever breeds good jokes

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

On the positive side, I do think people realize how invaluable schools and teachers are to a functioning society....

Hopefully its remembered when salary talks come up. In FL they headed that off already....

Schools are going to be “difficult” on levels that are unimaginable at this point.

Logistics.

 

[DisneyDebRob]

Yeah, but we're all going to wear a mask because masks protect us. That is what I've read on here for months.

You don’t have to come here to get that information. It’s everywhere.

My hometown is twenty minutes from Disneyland. I guess I'm just not seeing how Disneyland is more outdoors than Disney World.

I feel like I’m in the open air 90% of my day at Disneyland. Even the monorail is open air!

A day at Epcot I feel like I’m indoors 40–50% of the time.

Of course it varies... if you eat at Carthay Circle and see the frozen show you’ll be indoors for a couple hours. At Epcot on a nice day with the art festival I’ll probably be outdoors all day except for voices.

I’m also thinking how I walk to and from my hotel, walk to park hop, walk to downtown d. It’s all outdoors.

Thats why I said that time needs to be spent figuring this stuff out.

It’s a conspiracy...haven’t you heard?

I’m actually in favor of testing to allow travel. I wasn’t at first but I’m all in.

Everyone should have to pass a recent iq test to be allowed entry to magic kingdom.

You really think most parents are capable of this.

Home schooling works when the parent can dedicate 100% of their attention to their child.

 

[DisneyDebRob]

What about the parents that have to go to work.

Need to find out how the thousands of kids that do it before this all started. It’s a learning curve and may need to be done until things settle. It’s not something new, people with jobs and no jobs have been doing it for ages.

 

[Miss Bella]

Yeah, but this is the place where people say you'll be safe wearing a mask, but WDW should not open because wearing a mask won't protect you.

Really? How many people in this country work full-time jobs and homeschool their kids?

 

[Andrew C]

Thats why I said that time needs to be spent figuring this stuff out.

We can barely figure out traditional education. How much time do you think this will take and do you think students have that time?

This is why it is essential for schools to reopen in as safe a way as possible. But reopen they must. If they can’t, I may be forced to pull my kid and do home schooling. She can’t wait for them to figure it out.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Home schooling works when the parent can dedicate 100% of their attention to their child.

So here’s when I knew it was bad.

New Jersey has probably the strongest teachers unions in the country...and home rule gone amok that completely dominates near all decisions...

They released their school guidelines last week...which mandated nothing as suspected...except it Barrs full remote learning.

That alone tells me they are gonna have big problems unless the virus decides to move to another country.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Really? How many people in this country work full-time jobs and homeschool their kids?

Not many.

The homeschool cult is vocal...but not very large

 

[DisneyDebRob]

Yeah, but this is the place where people say you'll be safe wearing a mask, but WDW should not open because wearing a mask won't protect you.

Read previous reply. You are taking one point of a equation and twisting it. I have never heard here that it won’t protect you.. I have heard many different scenarios on why opening Disney may not be smart.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Yeah, but this is the place where people say you'll be safe wearing a mask, but WDW should not open because wearing a mask won't protect you.

Wdw shouldn’t be open because it’s frivolous and the travel/exposure demographics are on steroids.

Think you missed the turn on your directions to understand the “other side”

 

[Miss Bella]

Not many.

It's not a cult. You need to stop with the inflammatory language.

 

[oceanbreeze77]

have the new numbers come out?

 

[DisneyDebRob]

Really? How many people in this country work full-time jobs and homeschool their kids?

There are about 2.5 million homeschool students in grades K-12 in the United States (or 3% to 4% of school-age children). That is, there were an estimated 2.5 million in spring 2019 [note 1]. It appears that the homeschool population is continuing to grow (at an estimated 2% to 8% per annum over the past few years).

As for how many have jobs, I’m not sure.

No, I was just pointing out the hypocrisy.
