[QUOTE="DanielH, post: 1408735, member: 18034"] Great initiative, praying for you! My brother is a high school senior who has had in total 4 in person half-day of school. He's been almost completely shut in. He doesn't see his friends, he can't do sports, he has a hard time staying organized, and generally isn't learning anything. This whole year his woodshop remote learning class has been building a miniature house frame out of balsa wood. It's ridiculous, he learned everything he could from that in probably 2 days when he should've been learning how to use a drill press, table saw, band saw, planers, etc. He no longer has any desire for college, especially if this is what it will be like, so right now his plan is to get into trade school or get an apprenticeship with essentially no hands on experience. Still easily doable, but he won't be hitting the ground running. As far as campaign ideas, we know the statistics are on our side, and by a lot - the problem is getting that across to women while still sounding compassionate.
