Public schools just signed their own business models to closure. I can't wait for the California teachers union to be broken.

So it's happening. Wife's former teachers are getting snapped up left and right to run homeschooling for 4-6 kids privately. Won't surprise me if public school headcount is down more than 20% just to begin the year. Then as parents talk and wise up it will accelerate.

Watch the wholesale reversal of policy before Christmas break as the scramble to keep the ship from completely sinking.

Funding the teacher’s retirement system (STRS) is paid out first. Whatever is left over funds the bloated bureaucracy of the failing public school system in California.

Let’s keep our priorities straight.

Financially crippling for families with elementary school age kids.

Imagine being a single mom right now. Holy shit.

Is your daughter's college back to campus? Or one of those modified deals?

Both of mine are slated to back full tim, BUT, many of the classes are online or hybrid. It's going to be a shit show.

And, of course, tuition hasn't been modified.

Harvard shut down altogether, but that's probably the only school who really doesn't need the tuition revenue.

It is the perfect example of what happens when you are stuck in an intellectual bubble. I'm sure it has not yet crossed the mind of a single teacher than people across the political spectrum are not going to sit idle, continue to pay property tax at full freight, so that teachers can sit at home collecting what amounts to a welfare check w/ full bennies.

Great time to be a teacher if you really want to teach. Go private. Get snapped up.

Horrible time to be a teacher if you were in it for the pension and the free summers. This inefficiency in our system has to be revisited.

It will hit public unis too. The private unis other than Harvard got religion real quick just as I said they would back in April. The vast majority, even the well endowed, simply cannot "take off" a year or two w/o tuition revenue. The professors still get paid, still get health insurance, staff, maintenance, etc. It's a lot harder to moth ball a college campus than you think.

UW cannot continue to not run for much longer; and a substantial number of kids there have parents who are bringing in less $$ than they were before all this. They're going to pay full freight for online? I don't think so.

It's no different than with the airlines. Was anyone really surprised with United Airlines? Really? You don't think Delta, AA, etc. are right around the corner? Who knew it was economically infeasible to maintain the full capital investment in an airline scheme that was designed to fly X number of flights per day, and has been since March flying X-Y number of flights per day with half empty planes? It's almost like it's a profit-making deal or something.
