Governor Cooper NC Schools Will Reopen, Sort of. - THE NC Herd Fan - 07-14-2020 04:47 PM
With these restrictions, I don't understand how Cooper will allow colleges to open. I guess politically if NC colleges don't return it effectively kills ACC football this fall and that would hurt him. Cooper is all about Cooper.
NC Schools Reopened?

He probably wanted to do Plan C for all. But since he wants to get reelected he can allow local school boards to be the bad guy and keep kids out of school. If Covid happened in a non reelection year we would have plan C 2 weeks ago when his original announcement was scheduled

UNC and ECU have already paused athletic activities due to the number of positive tests. It’s not looking good for fall sports this year.

My son is supposed to be heading back to ECU in a couple of weeks, I hope they decide to do distance learning before then. If it's not safe for public schools, it's less safe for colleges.

Actually I think it's safer for colleges because you're not in classrooms for as many hours a day and you don't need to be as close to your instructors, physically speaking (thinking of elementary school kids mainly).
Wake County has given us option of all-online or 1 week at school 2 weeks at home. We're going for the all-online but my girls are 10th and 8th grade. My eldest will be a freshman at ECU if they are open.

It's just Cooper punting the issue. The only smart thing he did was leave it up to the school districts. There is no reason why eastern NC districts should be closed when some.counties only have a handful of cases. That said, he's still a fvcking idiot. Studies have shown kids are largely unaffected and furthermore dont appear to transmit the virus at the same rate as adults.
Oh, and if schools can open under his 'plan B' bullshite, why cant businesses?

Ding ding ding....Cooper didn't want to be the bad guy and shut down in person learning completely because that might hurt his reelection chances.
Cooper better hope this Plan B works out or it's going to really damage his re election chances

ECU is going the block schedule route which is effectively changing to quarter system. Students can take a maximum of 9 hours per 8 week block. There will be no fall break, they go for 16 weeks with finals ending the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

I don't think it will matter. His goose is pretty much cooked imo.
