Covid Transmission In Schools LESS THAN 3%, Massachusetts Study Finds: Infectious Disease MD Reacts

I understand your point@@cassiescornerreviews6884 . Unfortunately that it's hard for people to discern facts from lies indicates lack of critical thinking and basic knowledge of philosophy that has little to do with other's lying. For example, 2+2 = 4 is an artificial fact. Numbers do not actually exist in any real world... they are a conceptual abstraction that exist in our minds. "That is the sun" pointing to the actual sun is a claim made about the external world. It is naming something and also a human made claim. "The sun rises every morning" -- ok this is an actual observation that can be tested by observation and repeated. So far it does this every day, so it's a scientific theory that is true (until it isn't). "The sun will rise tomorrow" ... that is a prediction, a conjecture with high confidence, but not a fact until it happens. "The sun is beautiful" ... this is an objective claim. Anyhow, I refer you to Kant, Socrates, Aristotle, and a rich history of philosophy... really not that hard. My thesis is people are purposely kept overwhelmed and uneducated by a system that benefits from doing so ... and then feeding them lies about their reality. It's Orwell, Huxley, etc. Thanks.

Isn’t it the case that those tests actually gauge memorization, and how tragic is it, really, when kids forget a crapload of disconnected facts? 2) Does Jessica understand that shaming children for improperly wearing a mask pales in comparison with the shaming that happens every day in our schools in association with grading, testing, “discipline problems” (ever heard of the school-to-prison pipeline?), and children committing the crime of not being able to sit still for hours on end? How about the shame put on a child who is not reading fluently by age 6 or 7 or otherwise “keeping up” with a timetable imposed on them by politicians? Does Jessica have total amnesia about HER time in public school? 3) How about “Rising” do a thoroughly original episode about all these indignities, which were in place before Covid and will continue as long as they generate jobs and contracts for adults? It looks like you can question absolutely anything, even in the era of mass censorship, except the way things are done every day in our school system. So much for independent “inquiry.”

[@stevenhuffman9032]

@ meganbaker9116 My children all were able to read far before their 7th birthday. I don’t remember politicians influencing this. I remember their mother and I reading to them from an early age as the main reason. Poor education is one of the main reasons for the school to prison pipeline. Not test.

[@meganbaker9116]

Your children are not the whole world. Many children aren't ready to read by age 5 or 7 or even 9. The reason school forces instruction on all of them by age 5 is so they can test them. You can't test a child who's not reading. Politicians and their chosen bureaucrats absolutely control the instructional day, from the brain-dead "curricula" that's chosen (and sold by the players in Big Education who bankroll campaigns) to the obsessive focus on selling all children on the idea of college. The school-to-prison pipeline is a byproduct of schooling's heavy-handed approach to "discipline" and the introduction of cops into schools some decades back. Standardized testing is a cash cow that everyone hates, for good reason, except those who profit from it. You simply cannot understand American public schools without understanding the enormous sums of money made off a system that distrusts children as deeply as this one does. As for why some children learn to read earlier than others, it's likely impossible to understand why, and we shouldn't care. It's not a contest, nor does it reflect intelligence or anything like that. Prior to the 1980s or so, parents didn't generally read to their kids, but many Americans were readers. Now the habit is strongly encouraged but we're a nation of non-readers. It's complicated, and you shouldn't take credit for your kids' learning. @@stevenhuffman9032

[@stevenhuffman9032]

@ meganbaker9116 I honestly don’t think that a child who can’t read or do basic math by 8 or 9 is normal, and I don’t agree that just accepting it without trying to help these kids is going to benefit them in the future. Children who need special help or tutoring to keep up should be given that special help and tutoring. I think we owe it to them to at least attempt improve their basic skills if they’re lacking. The solution is not to stop testing because some kids can’t pass the tests. The solution is to help those kids be able to pass the tests.

[@meganbaker9116]

@@stevenhuffman9032 You believe the hype from school types that all kids should be reading by age 5. There’s simply no empirical support for this assumption, and loads of anecdotal evidence that kids allowed to learn to read on their own timetable learn quite well without pressure or even instruction, and that they later become more avid readers than those who were force-fed instruction. Do some thinking outside the mainstream box and try to understand children as individuals. If all children should be reading by age 5, then all adults should be married with kids by age 30.

Did the study factor in how much transmission was reduced due to lower attendance in schools, covid protocols (additional masking, , social distancing), infection rate of omicron vs other variants?

Surgical masks have been proven worthless You have to change a mask at least every hour You have to wash your hands between every mask change. It has to be well fitted and not let air escape out or around the sides breathing in or out. You need negative pressure or high levels of ventilation to ensure you aren't sitting in a viral cloud. These conditions only exist in hospitals, and even there we saw the highest level of transmission.
