Some crazy *** American would sue the "fake news" for distress or something. Come on, people, think outside the box. Jesus, you would think you all know how the average person thinks.....

And the suit would be tossed for lack of standing by the first judge to review it.

That wasn't my point, though. ;)

Someone will sue, and some news people will be afraid of that (and their bosses also afraid).

But if we’re into the realm of insane, frivolous lawsuits, those happen whether you’re The Sun or if you publish with the combined integrity of Walter Cronkite and Mother Theresa. So the possibility of a frivolous lawsuit is not useful as a determining factor in what to publish.

Yeah but you know crazy things happen, you never know, it's weird but it could happen and then people for no reason will be scared because you know. Just sayin'.

Obvious.

My prediction: the smart kids get smarter and more independent and develop better habits, the dumb kids stay dumb and develop bigger tummies.

Also that this will correlate with parenting which follows the smart/dumb curve.

This makes the same old case for year-round schooling. 6-8 weeks on/2 weeks off model. No summer backsliding.

"But then how will farmers be able to use their kids as free labor during the summer months?" wails Middle America over their can of Grain Belt.



Year round schooling, proper funding for schools/teachers, the death of daylight saving, consistant infrastructure/transportation budgets, and the end of the Chicken tax. First politician to make good on all five gets my vote for life. Chicken tax repeal is not make or break.

Saturday night I was speaking with a good friend who has taught elementary school for 35 years. She had actually planned to retire before this year, but then her husband decided to work one more year, and the principal at her school said he was working one more year before retiring and begged her to stick around.

She said the present situation makes her want to cry. She said precisely what you did, that the good students were handling it fine. For everyone else it's a lost three months and it will set them back, maybe forever.

The problem is, it's only about 10% that falls in the former category.
