sabotabbySo our overlords, in their quest to murder as many education workers and children as possible, have decided to increase the potential for infections by postponing March Break—five days that are unpaid for staff—until April 12.
Only people with the means to travel will do so during March Break, and they'll do so whether schools close or not. In fact, St. Michael's, where Goatfucker Stephen Lecce attended, will be having a super duper two-week long March Break to allow families to gallivant around and spread covid to ski resorts and developing countries. Those dears need a break from assaulting each other with hockey sticks on the locker room, I suppose. The Ontario Legislature, which is on holiday more often than not, will also be closing for March Break. But not students and teachers.
There's no real justification—students haven't "lost" time and like I said, aren't going to be prevented from travelling during this time. What it will do is increase stress in an already over-stressed workforce. It's yet another change that we now need to plan around, because this is a government that likes changing things just to keep everyone on edge.
It also massively increases the chance of death. While schools are closed, the potential for students and teachers to get infected is quite low, unless they're being stupid. Vaccination for teachers is supposedly going to begin in April. So by pushing it forward, it gives one more week for people to get sick and get others sick, which I guess is the point.
I don't know when society decided that it was best if children were taught by physically and mentally ill exhausted workers, but there you have it.
