I am curious what the comparison would be to people who did not go through bedrest and were constantly active through the decades. 🤔 Either way it’s pretty terrifying the potential impact office work will be on a portion of the population 😬

I like this idea but it requires a consistent standardized use of emojis to be effective. Upvotes seem to have a general “positive” meaning while downvotes implies negative feeling. I would love to have an emoji that meant mixed reaction, agree, disagree, funny, etc. but figure out the standard for it will be really important to understand how users are affected with the post.
Vanilla OS but trying to learn about the differences between blendOS and Vanilla OS
I am on Vanilla OS with a NVIDIA gpu and its running pretty well.
I imagine they can treat absences the same as they currently are. Teachers are told in advance when a child/children will be absent and can plan accordingly. I remember being given notes and the work I was going to miss in advance and needing to catchup. If teachers see that a lot of kids will be absent, they can plan alternate activities. Or maybe for a week a month there will be week long camp at school, which will be easier for students to be absent since they won’t miss class.
This is all theory I have not developed out. I would like to hear someone’s thoughts on changes to how the US school system runs.
I genuinely feel like school in the US should be year-round but with a set amount of “time-off” teachers and parents can use. That way time off is not so concentrated in the summer, holidays can be celebrated regardless of ethnicity/religion/culture, and the curriculum does not have to be so compressed. I am sure there are a lot of challenges this model will bring up, but it feels a bit more fair.
In the meanwhile though, good on NY for adding Diwali as school holiday! It seems like a lovely celebration that should be enjoyed class-free.
TIL of the sheer number of instances that are out there. Thank you for sharing this!
