...on the very first day back to school at Greenfield Central Junior High School (Indiana), a student received a positive test result for Covid-19.
That didn't take long!
Link below, but the entire school is now under 14-day quarantine. Welcome back kiddos!

Follow Ups:
Oops! Supposed to wait for the test results?
Or, oops, he just had the sniffles!
Or, oops, fill in the blank.
Not to worry, one stumble forward, two stumbles back.
We are all in this together (or, my positive comment of the day)!

they MUST have kids go off because they can't afford something most developed countries provide, i.e. subsidized day care. Mind: we're the richest country in the history of the world. Can't afford that, uh uh.
You're too busy spending it on a totally unnecessary military industrial complex. The same people who balk at spending an extra $10 billion on Education say absolutely nothing if the government spends $1 trillion extra on the military. Which expenditure hurts the economy more over time?
it's been nearly useless in this huge crisis. Imagine what just a couple percent of the military budget could have done for epidemic preparedness.

...and the majority of the animal kingdom, there are "parents" that do "parenting things"--like raising their young, rather than sub-contracting it out. Breeding is a far cry from parenting.

Daycare is a necessity in today's world. Women are needed in the workforce. Two-worker families are the norm in modern America, but the lower middle-class and lower income folks are being crushed by daycare costs. And, with single-motherhood a reality (forget the preaching, please, we need to deal with reality, not pipe dreams), it must be subsidized or else we are either going to have another generation of street kids--- or working isn't a real option because wages will be swallowed up.
Sitting at some parent teacher nights - you generally meet the parents and know why the kids are like what they are like.
Having kids so that you can collect the government hand out and then not use the money to clothe your kid but to buy drugs is a problem.
The program is meant to help poorer families cope with the costs of having raising kids who will one day not be a drain on society. But there is always that 1/2 a percent of people that will scam the program. So do you delete the program that helps 95/100 to stop the 5/100 who abuse the system?
Social programs are leaky buckets - people are always looking to scam - but then millionaires try and find the loopholes going against the "spirit" of the tax code.
generationally poor people are in a small percentage of welfare recipients. Most families are temporary visitors, Moms having kept the kids as Dads have left. Deadbeat Dads are a problem. But many programs help mothers and kids get out of dependence. One problem, however, is that when benefits are withdrawn (welfare has work requirements), and when subsidized (if it's available) daycare and other help stops, poverty comes racing back in and work can actually result in no improvement.
Welfare cheating is comparatively rare and a fraction of tax fraud by billionaires/millionaires and their vast offshore accounts.
You are correct - but for some reason people in society wish to vilify the poor and the tiny tiny tiny percentage of people who scam the system at the bottom of the food chain and seem not to complain about the people at the top who screw us out of millions and or billions.
When a big company dumps toxic waste into a town and slowly kills thousands while nothing happens to the board of directors or CEOs, other than a financial slap on the wrist, there is a problem.
We chase murders and lock them up for life or give them the death penalty. The killer may kill say 6 people. When PPG&E kill thousands or Ford Motor Company kills thousands - we let those decision makers off scot-free.

Your illustration, however, will fall on blind eyes.
At school, students work on tasks. At school, students are (mostly) expected to stay at their desks/tables. At school, students are expected to refrain from playing with each other and horsing around.
Day care, at least by any definition I've ever heard of, is less education and more play time, more opportunity for contact and virus transmission.
How the hell is that safer? Are you nuts?
Three days per week. He's two years old.
Parents aren't allowed in, every kid gets his temp checked before entry every day.
It works. I don't know how it works, but it does.
I'm with you. I'd have never sent him back, but so far...
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
Which are subsidized by property taxes.

such is the case for the unmotivated.
overwhelmed parents who can't take care of their kids.
Clueless parents will drop a sick kid off at day care, too, no matter the "cost".

does having subsidized day care provide a solution to sending your kid to school?
i.e. subsidized day care...
Day care for 15 year olds? Hilarious!
You provide way too much humor. ;)
