saltyant Posted June 4, 2020 Report Posted June 4, 2020 Also, it'll be interesting to see how Hazleton Area enforces the 6 foot distancing between desks, since the schools were already overcrowded to begin with. Teaching outside I guess? That would be awesome until winter. Or more video chat teaching I suppose. Quote

I also think it's dumb that they didn't postpone school, consider the quarantine to be their summer break and have them go back in and finish over the summer. God forbid the teachers don't get to go to the Jersey shore all summer! One problem with that is a lot of these school don't have AC and it gets fucking hot in these cinder block schools, especially in the city. 2 Quote

I had a customer on the phone who volunteered at the polls up in Neffs by Slatington and she said only one poll worker wore a mask. She said masks contribute to deaths because it cuts off oxygen supply. 1 Quote

But Hazleton's school district population is 10,900. The busses were always full when I was in school. Now they're halving capacity since 1 student per seat, so I guess double the fleet of busses? But like Steeze said, maybe it's up to each district. Edited June 4, 2020 by saltyant Quote
