WBZ reports Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School will start the new year with entirely remote learning for at least two weeks to reduce the risk that some kids who fled a boozy party when police arrived might spread Covid-19.
Officials had hoped to start the year with one of those hybrid schedules, but had to go to all remote after because so many local kids went to the crowded party and then ran away when police arrived, with many of the students who were nabbed giving police fake names.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

Have you spoken to any teenagers at all about what they want? Staying home is not fun. A lot of them want to be in school.

I have two, and they miss school but told me it's easier.
Which is what I said.

Not to say the school is wrong, but we've got a situation where people are being extremely cautious about high school and college students meanwhile MBTA employees, cops, public tradesmen, and others with frequent public interaction flagrantly disregard the mask mandates and almost certainly aren't being tested every few days.
In the eyes of Eastern Massachusetts citizenry, "Mind your own business" is an OK response from a middle-aged adult asked to wear a mask but yet no punishment is harsh enough for students who don't have nearly the same level of public interaction.
Unrelated, why is it that Lincoln-Sudbury is ground zero for suburban delinquents? Maybe they ought to renamed it the Sunnydale school district.

I've been riding the Blue Line to work several times a week and the norm is to see T employees without masks (or masks hanging around their chins) as they laugh and joke with each other (they never seem to be doing anything else). Many of the riders adopt this wearing-but-not-wearing posture also. Wasn't there originally talk that the T would be monitoring whether the ridership was wearing masks and making sure the trains were not overcrowded? The crowded, maskless Blue Line trains I take say otherwise. We have absolutely no leadership on the city, state or federal level. NONE.

I guess someone could make you wait for the next train. But you can do that yourself. And the next train is less likely to be crowded if people weren’t kept off the crowded train.

The problem is that the lesson is also, if you stay home quietly with a book or video game while other people party hard enough, school will be canceled.
And that's true whether or not you were even invited, and whether or not you like parties and would have gone in a normal year.
It's the same lesson as, if people you never met are careless at a wedding in another state, your plans may be changed. If your friend thinks it's safe to do something together because their annoying spouse, younger sibling, or housemate lied about their test results, you may get sick, your social life may get canceled.
The universe isn't teaching moral lessons here, and this isn't an After-school Special. It's not fair that I can't go see my mother because too many other people decided they don't believe in covid, or think masks are a communist plot, or believe they're young and healthy and don't need to be careful. But it also wouldn't be fair if I ignored that, and worked out how to visit her, and got sick during the trip, or infected her without knowing it.
All fair points

I guess you grew up in a saintly convent where everyone admitted to their chopping of cherry trees, but given the opportunity to avoid landing in deep shit, a large percentage of teenagers I knew would give a fake name.

Fourth, I'm not at all religious.
Fifth, these teenagers deserved to get into the kind of trouble that they got into, and anybody giving a false name to the cops if they're arrested could also land in some deep legal shit, and it would serve them right.

Again, to beat a dead horse, a grown ass man was given secret, anonymous probation in Weston after getting caught doing racist graffiti. Because he was someone's kid who didn't want to get embarrassed. These kids would never suffer any real consequences just like rich kids in the 80s who got caught with coke were given slaps on the wrists vs poor kids caught with crack who got hard, hard time.

You think that it's all right if these kids don't suffer any kind of consequences after doing something so dangerous, stupid and unsafe (i. e. going to an out of control party during the middle of a Covid-19 pandemic.)? I sure as hell don't.
