@taylorlorenz People the world over are fantastic. I'm certain there are many people at present who are missing that would make this place better. However, we can't corral people -- that's corpo crap. And, having ALL the people also invites a lot of... uh, crap. If there is less friction people won't slow down to assess a new environment. If there is too much on-ramping people bubble and never seek new ideas. I can only use a few characters. Arts, tech, and inclusivity is always a small set.

I'm VERY anti "Remote Learning" on snow days.@futurebird At their age they have no control over when, how, or where they go to school -- and it is expected that they go. A very short session where they have control, meet expectation, can see their peers, and spend the rest of the day in play at homr seems like a positive. That was our experience, anyway. All criticism thus far voiced is absolutely valid. I expect our experience is the exception.

I'm VERY anti "Remote Learning" on snow days.@futurebird We recently had a one hour remote session (snow day) which my child was very excited to participate in. They used it as a means of being in charge -- selecting which device to use, where in the house to set-up, and practiced the remote-in process. This session was an hour. While I had no remote learning as a kid, I can understand and support these short "check-ins". For mine the routine matters. I can also understand that it may challenge some families, or teachers, esp. if all-day.
