Have a slice!

I find it interesting that the governor is cutting the budgets of education and health but does nothing about the salaries of government employees. The rest of the state has taken a very large hit in earning potential because of the virus. Some have lost all earning ability and must count on unemployment, if they can get it. Shouldn’t everyone be equally affected? But I don’t see this as a concern of the governing elite.

Are we all equal in Nevada, or does this apply only to the working class? Or is this anexampleofa“letthem eat cake” attitude? a classroom two days and online learning at home for three days is ludicrous. Even the most inexperienced classroom teacher can see that this fractured environment would be totally lacking the structure required to maintain an adequate learning environment.

I am sure that teachers will, unfortunately, still be held accountable for progression in learning even though both of their hands have been tied behind their backs by this plan. Protecting our children is of vital importance but not to the point of expecting them to learn in this unstructured plan.

A much better plan would be to split the day into sessions that reduce class size for social distancing and keep consistency in the child’s learning environment. As many as three sessions could be held a day, depending on the age of the child. Online learning can still be an option to parents whowantitbutnotaspart of a regular schedule. Teachers would have consistency in their schedule as well, whichwouldassistthemin their lesson planning.

As it stands, this plan will, at most, marginally succeed and most likely fail. Unfortunately, the administrative curriculum planners and school board members are not experienced enough in what is needed for a conducive learning environment. This plan is destined to only frustrate classroom teachers and place their students further behind in their education. noncompliant, there’s a simple solution. Inspectors show up with a revocation of license in one hand and a padlock in the other hand. The owner is informed that his business is being shut down until further notice. Shut the lights, lock the door.

Noncompliance is unacceptable. It puts all Nevadans at risk. For those business owners who continue to ignore the mandate and protocols put in place for the safety of us all, shut them down. render service to you if you are not wearing a mask, which is entirely their right.

I am delighted and glad to see Metro keeping its priorities straight.
