Continuing coronavirus happenings (Part 1)

The stupidity is profound, but just look at that tan suit — theres the real crime. And not a peep out of the fake news media either, always focused on the virus. I give up.

Initially read that as “Brothel Police” and was very confused…

My grandma used to live near Bothel in Cumbria, and I always had a double take at the road signs.

So, to review, chanting BLM protesters are such a dire threat to police and the public that the protests have to be declared a riot, and the protesters much be tear gassed, shot, beaten and/or arrested. But other protesters trespassing and actually endangering others are handled with kid gloves.

I wonder what’s the difference?/s

Google Classroom is set up for teachers and students, not parents, for example.

<rant> …and cannot be isolated from other Google services to reduce distractions for easily distracted kids, and suffers from a UI design that appears to be an echo-chamber expression of Google’s genetics in marketing and attention seeking… trying to find an overdue assignment in the infinite scroll “stream” page that is the default? …what’s needed is a clear “here’s what you need to do next” front and centre…

Never mind trying to keep my kids’ personal info in a jurisdiction with real privacy laws.</rant>

I suggested to an educator friend that we need a survey of the top 20 or so teaching styles and to design fully self-contained sites supporting each style in a concise and direct way. She suggested that this would be met with the sort of the enthusiasm usually reserved for visiting benevolent deity.

Sadly… funding… (that, and my UI’s usually end up looking like pre-school versions of microwave oven control panels)

Microsoft-based “BrightSpace” isn’t a lot better.

Borderline off-topic, but COVID is imposing this mass experiment on us. Hopefully the results so far should at least immunize the people of the Province of Ontario against further brain-dead assertions by our poli-sci grad turned head educator that multi-media on-line learning is the wave of the future… :thinking: :persevere:

I hate being 15 minutes from the Idaho border. It probably at least partly explains why the positivity rate in this county is so much higher than the state average (the other part being that there’s just as many morons on this side of the border).
