@BackstopMom posted:Although my son’s school is having some in-person classes this fall, he looked at the course listings yesterday and all the freshman classes are online. Meanwhile, his coach is being extremely hands on with all the incoming players and they’ll be able to practice in some form and workout with the team. I contrast this with my friends’ kids who are going off to college to sit in a dorm, take online classes, and seek their own extracurricular activities (many of which will likely result in campuses completely shutting down again). I am extremely grateful that my son has baseball in this environment no matter what happens in the spring.
My son just registered for his Freshman classes this am and got everything in his time slots that he wanted. A huge win. Baseball will be practicing in the fall in the afternoon and he's all AM. Baseball practice may have to break into two different groups though but they will be interacting non the less. Also three out of his four classes are actually in person. I too am happy my son has baseball in this environment.
I have posted this already but my daughter has 4 of 4 classes online (sophomore), will be going back to dorms to take them and I 100% agree that she will have to find ways to socialize which will just be impossible without breaking the guidelines... they are testing all kids weekly ....there will be many positive cases no matter how much they lock them down, how can there not be. Will be interesting to see what Fauci's undergrad school does about this and / or when they pull the plug and send all home. If NBA and MLB has 5-6% positive rates I have to think that 5-6% of college students will test positive when they arrive (asymptomatic).
