Does anyone happen to know what kind of extracurricular activities will be offered this year? I'm wondering if it'll be the usual lineup, like art or drama classes, since those typically kick off once the 15-hour mark hits.
I'm also curious about how the supplemental sessions are being structured, specifically whether they fall within that initial 15-hour window or if they take place afterward, though I'm assuming the extra help might come earlier.
If that's the case, I'll just have my little one pick one or maybe two activities so she can at least head home three days earlier in the week.
Kids will probably start backing away from electives once they realize how much work is actually involved, like those drama or art clubs, if that’s what the school is aiming for. I believe a second language becomes a requirement starting in fourth grade.
From what I’ve gathered, classes wrap up by the 15th, and after that, everything shifts over to extracurricular activities.
It probably won't be happening every single day, though.
There really isn't any chance they'll actually be checking things. I made about five trips over to Canada last year, and I never ran into a single check or inspection.
They don't seem to care at all about where the kids actually end up being, as long as they aren't sitting in a classroom, which is why they want everything for both elementary and high school to move online as quickly as possible.
I honestly don't see how they expected to track individual contact if all the kids are grouped together during breaks anyway, so at that point, it doesn't really matter who sits where. Plus, since the entire class will likely end up in isolation together, there's no real reason for the older students to be wearing masks, let alone worrying about wearing them perfectly like this.
Just so you know, that isolation period actually stretches on for another ten days once the kid's quarantine is officially over.
Robin Grant said:Exactly. Down in San Diego, kids in grades 1-4 have their spring break pushed back to April 19th. Everyone else—specialized elementary classes, high schools, and even the seniors—is strictly remote.
Any schools capable of running the Model C setup will have all their lower grade levels moving to remote learning.
It hasn't been confirmed yet whether they'll extend the break for the elementary students in grades one through four or if those holidays are just being stretched out, though the high school seniors will be heading to their exams online.
California is moving toward a universal C model for everyone
The isolation period lasts for ten days following your last contact with someone who tested positive.
If you happen to live in a shared household, you'll need to complete those ten days only after the infected person's own isolation period has officially ended.

Most kids are just busy with their homework, though some aren't, and I know for a fact they were just hanging out in the backyard or something similar...
Looking at my friends' kids, it’s pretty clear that first graders are dealing with an incredibly demanding curriculum these days. It seems especially tough for those in full-day programs, because if they aren't finishing their assignments at school, they end up coming home around 4:30 or 5:00 PM and having to tackle all that homework right after a quick break.

You might think, wow, she's so lucky, but it isn't about my weight at all; my mom bought them for me a few sizes up back when I wasn't pregnant, and she does this with almost everything she gets me, buying things way larger than what she wears herself, which honestly just makes me look like I'm drowning in fabric, but she seems convinced it’s perfectly fine.........]
The other day some woman asked me when my due date was and if I was still working, and when I told her I had already stepped away from my job—since she knows what kind of career I have—she looked at me, and she's probably in her mid-forties, and said, "You know, in our day, we worked right up until the very end!"
I can't even imagine how much tougher things were back then..................
Honestly, I haven't heard a single mindless comment from a man yet, it’s mostly been other women
Oh, absolutely.... It's exactly like that. I ended up gaining about 24 pounds total during my pregnancy, and one of the sillier questions I got asked—and this was toward the very end, maybe twenty days before I gave birth—was "where is your bump?" and I just wanted to tell her I left it at home while I went out for a little walk.

I didn't want to open this thread in the Health subforum since it's strictly for issues caused by pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, and carrying babies, and there are honestly quite a few of them...
Back pain, hormonal shifts, skin issues, breast changes, circulation problems, teeth, veins... you name it.
Specifically, I'm reaching out because I've been dealing with one particular issue for about ten days now.
JOINT PAIN.
My finger joints ache in the morning, my wrists hurt, and once I actually get up, I can barely walk because my knees and feet are in such pain. The hardest part is that I can't hold my baby properly, and things keep slipping right out of my hands.
I've been doing some research and everything points toward rheumatoid arthritis, which I really hope isn't the case since there's no cure, so I'll definitely be getting tests done as soon as the holidays are over, but in the meantime, I just needed to vent here.
Has anyone else dealt with something similar, and can someone please reassure me that this is just temporary?
Is it possible that breastfeeding a six-month-old could deplete my calcium or magnesium levels?
Please don't worry, because I went through the exact same thing and it lasted for a few months. I asked my OBGYN about it and she mentioned that the joints just take a lot of strain from carrying the baby, so while she wanted to run some tests, the pain eventually subsided before I ever went in, though I did pick up some Biolectra magnesium to take for about a month after using it during my pregnancy.
