        And yet you took Missou instead - eag Aug 10, 15:13 5
        
        We always wanted Missouri. They were a football powerhouse and former Big 6 team. It was only like a two-month negotiation. -- nm - David Aug 10, 15:20 4
        
        Didn't you want Texas also? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 10, 15:57

My cousin Cheryn is a kindergarten teacher in Florida. Want to hear how the five year olds are doing with safety policies? - loosilu Aug 10, 14:21 21
- honestly, that sounds like someone describing an ST event. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 10, 14:34 2
  - OK, I snorted Diet Coke. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 14:35 1
    - and my work here is done. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 10, 14:35

  - No teacher I know (and I know a lot of them thru my sister) wants to go back. At all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 14:33 4
    - It's complicated (and yes, a different story here). I don't want to do distance learning. That sucked and was ineffective. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 14:46
    - I can't imagine I'd want to go back, but it's at least (maybe) different dealing with 11th/12th graders versus 5 year olds? -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 14:41
    - I know a few who do (many of my college friends are teachers - we were a big teacher school). Many others are just... confused. - Judge Bane Aug 10, 14:38 1

- You can't expect small children to abide by social distancing. It's absurd to suggest this can be accomplished. - Mop Aug 10, 14:27
- the very concept is laughable. It's like trying to social distance a petri dish. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 14:23 1
  - It is a petri dish. A really big one. -- nm - . Aug 10, 14:38
Fuck you spamsy, I made your mum so wet, Trudeau deployed a 24-hour infantry unit to stack sandbags around my bed. -- nm* - Shaun Aug 10, 14:21 6

IMHO it's a poorly written post. The self-referential nature of the IM instead comes across as an excoriation of the subject being discussed. C-. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 13:54 3
- "I fell for it, too" would have been more honest. -- nm - David Aug 10, 13:55 2
  - Both can be true. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 14:15 1
    - (Also, the top post in this thread was written while I was on drugs, and I think it was a bit more extra than it needed to be.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 14:17
