Here’s the breakdown of the changes.

mellowskipper said:They’re probably working on election stuff—I mean, my computer science class is scheduled during an off-shift block, so who knows.

Yeah.

rowdypanther12 said:That basically means they're going to cut hours since kids are already getting out of school by 1:00 or 2:00 every day anyway.

Yeah... my kid's schedule is already a mess, like being out early one day every other week.

mellowskipper said:So, I suppose it'll run until about 2:00 PM, including lunch.
I’d sign off on that immediately, honestly.

Yeah... just heard it on the news. They said everyone should be done with the mandatory stuff by 2:00.

Even now, CN doesn't sound quite as terrifying to me. Honestly, if I had any say in the matter, I’d just steer clear of them entirely.

So, Fuchs just knocked it all out...The mandatory part of the CN should be wrapped up in about an hour.

Anyone know if the schools have actually signed up for AT&T yet, or is the paperwork still stuck in limbo?

Look, a 2:00 PM dismissal isn't the end of the world. But those subject-specific schedules? Total nonsense. In the middle of winter, kids will basically be walking home in the pitch black before they even get a chance to grab a snack. Not to mention trying to squeeze in homework and sports practice. I really feel for these kids.

Sarah Hall53 said:Honestly, they’re lying through their teeth here. Just take a look at the actual documentation—it says everything loud and clear. For elementary school kids, staying until 2:00 PM is mandatory, and once you hit middle school, it’s at least 3:30 PM. It’s right there in black and white.

I can't be bothered to slog through the whole manual, but I know you guys actually bother with the fine print.

So Fuchs is claiming kids will only be in school until 3 PM for two days a week, and then until 2:15 PM the rest of the time.
Is he actually lying through his teeth, or is the media just twisting his words?

Mark Walker4 said:It isn't impossible, just totally unrealistic. Facebook claims they have $2 billion lined up, but with 619 schools needing upgrades or total rebuilds, you're looking at an average of over $3.2 million per school—and that doesn't even touch the other massive costs tied to a project this size.

Plus, they'll need to find a massive amount of extra labor just to handle all that construction. Good luck to them.

wanderingbadger44 said:Well, look at your situation: you've only got the core required subjects. There isn't a single elective, no extra tutoring, no remedial help, and zero participation in clubs or after-school activities.

It feels like every kid follows this pattern because, based on your child's specific schedule, that's basically the entire world they inhabit.

On top of that, you're being rude by insulting me and implying I'm making things up while questioning everyone else's honesty. Honestly, your claims are just as questionable as the one you just critiqued.

If a student is taking religion, a second language, and computer lab in 7th and 8th grade, that's only an extra six hours a week. Where are all these supposed extra sessions and study groups coming from?

Mine has a second language, computer lab, and two after-school activities. The only thing that bugs him is that computer lab; they just hang around school until 3 PM doing absolutely nothing useful.

My brother told me he’s skipping the info session next year. He says those eight-hour marathons are a total waste of time. Nothing actually useful gets covered—it's just people shuffling through endless slide decks all day.

There’s zero chance that’s actually happening by 2027.
If they were serious, they’d be breaking ground on a mountain of new schools in major cities like Chicago or Houston right about now.

rowdypanther12 said:For decades, nobody could figure out how to extend after-school programs in all our schools through the 2nd or 3rd grade, yet now they're suddenly planning to implement them up through the 8th grade.
😂

Yeah, right..

I've been grinding away at German for four years now and I’m still barely scraping by with the basics. It feels like nobody puts in the work; most people I know are just coasting with a 2.0 GPA.

Seriously though, what’s the move with that degree if you don't get into a four-year program or something higher?

Basically, if you aren't feeling any symptoms, you can head to an official testing site after five days. If you test negative, you're good to go and can end your isolation right then and there.

Talking about how we handle positive cases in phase 3.
It’s basically a 7 to 10-day isolation period... though there’s also that option where you test on day 5, and if that comes back negative, you can wrap things up early.
The only thing they actually scrapped was the quarantine for close contacts.

I mean, technically you're supposed to be stuck indoors.
But honestly, nobody's out there knocking on doors anymore. The only way you'll actually get caught is if you run into someone at a CVS or if a cop pulls you over.
