UNCG Women's Basketball team announced a cluster of 5+ this week also. This is the first week of real practice for everyone.

My mom just had it and was hospitalized for two weeks in Greensboro. We are so fortunate that she has survived it and we realize that everyone doesn't have that same story. It's no joke and I pray everyone's safety as we continue to deal with this global pandemic.

Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad she is feeling better now.
Praying for a complete and speedy recovery.

Report: U.S. Colleges Lost 400,000 Students this Fall Because of Coronavirus
Denise Cathey/The Brownsville Herald via AP Dec 18, 2020A National Student Clearinghouse Research Center report on fall enrollment in U.S. colleges reveals that the higher education sector lost 400,000 students this fall because of the coronavirus — twice the rate in 2019. Inside Higher Ed detailed the report: Community college enrollment saw the sharpest declines, and freshman enrollment is down 13.1 percent, about steady with the previous report. Community college enrollment is down 10.1 percent, up from the 9.5 percent decline in the last report. Public colleges over all lost 4 percent of their enrollment, a concerning fact given public institutions enroll seven out of 10 students. Continuing students are doing well, though, said Doug Shapiro, executive director of the research center. “Almost all students who enrolled in the spring stayed enrolled this fall,” except those who graduated, Shaprio said during a webinar held to discuss the report. “Some of this is driven by a decline in international students, but it’s clear that a substantial number of Americans who would have normally attended college stayed away this fall,” Robert Kelchen, an associate professor of higher education at Seton Hall University, said. “The question then becomes whether they enroll after the pandemic ends or whether they decide not to go to college.” He called the report “astonishing.” “Those seeing the sharpest of these striking declines in enrollment are community colleges — the institutions that often serve the largest share of students of color and students from low-income backgrounds,” Michelle Asha Cooper, president of the Institute for Higher Education Policy, said in a statement. “While many students may enroll or re-enroll at a later time, we know that delays in enrollment and needing to stop out from higher education can decrease the odds that a student will ultimately earn a degree or credential.” “We also know that students who need to delay earning a degree or credential must also delay the earnings premium and workforce outcomes associated with educational attainment, both of which could help students and families recover from this crisis and cushion themselves against a future recession,” Cooper said. Another Clearinghouse report shows the number of high school graduates going directly to college decreased by 22 percent this fall, and those graduates were mostly low-income and urban students. “This, coupled with the decline in community college enrollment, paints the bleak picture that more vulnerable students are simply not going to college,” Inside Higher Ed reported. “That has serious implications for this generation of students, and also for our national economy,” Shapiro said. Graduate enrollment rates tell a more positive story — it is up 3.6 percent in the fall. Four-year, for-profit college enrollment also increased by 5.3 percent and was the only sector to have enrollment grow at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Enrollment in the coronavirus era also showed male student enrollment fell by 5 percent compared to a .07 decrease in 2019. www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/19/report-u-s-colleges-lost-400000-students-this-fall-because-of-coronavirus/

Honestly, I going to really contradict my self here Thrilla. Our K-2 kids need to be in a classroom. My job's recent mCLASS assessment data was really sad to read, especially when it comes to Black students. The education gap was already wide before the pandemic. Now's it's almost like the gap between NYC and London - The Atlantic!

I will give it a shot...and I will not sit here and try and dispute or disprove the mClass assessment but, I don't think we should sit here and feel shame for thinking safety first for our children. This virus is so diverse in its affect on people, so if this is a by-product of this virus, I can live with it. We can always Monday morning quarterback this situation but, the unknown is what always looms large. The last 2 months, the number of deaths have almost doubled the amount from months March-November. It's still not to be taken lightly because, we have a vaccine and there is a potential light at the end of the tunnel. And speaking of children, there is no vaccine for children. An older gentleman was sharing with me, even though the chances of children catching the virus may be lower than 10 percent....would you want your child to be in that 10 percent? This is NOT blackjack, slot machine or craps so why are you playing percentages. Makes sense to me.

As if "state leaders" or this country have ever had the interests of educators and teachers in mind. While many children remain asymptomatic it is without question that they can and do transmit the virus to other adults they come in to contact with. But hey...."ugly risks" right Thrilla?: www.cnn.com/2021/02/03/us/teachers-dying-covid-trnd/index.html
