      If you’re healthy.

      Sucks to be disabled or immunocompromised or at risk in any other way…

      Also, it’s still killing at much higher rates than the flu.

      And I won’t even start getting into Long COVID, which I’m currently researching. But it is a major crisis. 2-4 million people unable to work in the US because of it.

      Sounds Ike you’re behind on the latest research into long COVID and the compounding effects of repeat infections (such as permanent cognitive impairment and cardiac issues), even if the initial symptoms were very mild.

      Yknow, like exactly what the US put an entire generation of kids through by opening the schools up! Y’all didn’t forget the universal calls for help from teachers and parents about their kids being on their 5th covid infection when the pandemic was declared over, right?

      I would definitely suggest diving into some science so you don’t keep spreading harmful misinformation, because surely you wouldn’t be doing that on purpose due to your political beliefs failing to align with reality, right?

      The 37+ kids in one classroom not getting the attention they need will sure ‘cause some delayed issues, though!

        Professor implies it’s college/university level so they’re likely young adults who don’t need as much 1-on-1

          Everyone needs good training and can benefit from more attention from the instructor, no matter the age. Being in college or university does not change that.

            I found college classes with small sizes were the worst as they would always adapt to the slowest learners who put no effort. While large lectures don’t do that.

              Huh, in my program it worked out pretty well. The semi-optional third year was a group project thing and there were only four groups. A lot of classes wereore like consultations and it worked great.

              I think your experience probably just came from a lack of skill in teaching. Professors aren’t exactly trained professionals when it comes to communicating anything and boy do I know that. I’ve had some truly godawful professors in the past who weren’t even good that their own jobs let alone teaching us how to do them.
