Smart move by a university filled with smart people.

Princeton University reversed its plan to bring some of its students back on campus for the next term, saying undergraduate classes won’t be held in person because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The decision means undergraduates from the classes of 2022 and 2024 will not come to campus in late August as previously planned, the school said.
“In light of the diminished benefits and increased risks currently associated with residential education amid New Jersey’s battle against the pandemic, we have decided that our undergraduate program should be fully remote in the fall semester of 2020,” Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber said in a letter to the university community.
With the next term just weeks away, schools across the U.S. are rushing to remake the higher-education experience for the Covid-19 era. Many are seeking ways to reopen empty dorms and classrooms or shifting to a mix of in-person and virtual classes so they can both safely educate students and protect their own financial health.
Princeton last month outlined plans to return undergraduates in shifts, saying most academic instruction would stay online.
In his letter, Eisgruber said: “This combination of health concerns and restrictions will significantly diminish the educational value of the on‑campus experience. It will also render that experience confining and unpleasant for most students.”
So the reason that I posted this article is to illustrate that people running institutions of higher learning are clearly aware of the dangers faced by students returning to on-campus instruction.
Now the students that Princeton serves are right on the cusp of adulthood so they could be expected to respect all of the guidelines adopted by the school to keep them safe.
I mean an 18 0r 19-year-old should be able to remember to wear their masks and maintain social distancing without the university staff having to monitor them at all times.
And yet they have decided that the risk is still too great.
So I guess my question is if young adults cannot be trusted to keep themselves safe during in-classroom instruction, how in the hell can we expect that of elementary and high school students?
Barron Trump was speaking fluent Slovenian and French at age 3. He now speaks 5 languages and is a chess master. The young Trump is being raised by his mother, not a nanny..

Say that you want about her, I sure do, but I think third wife is a good mom.
Anon @5:53 A.M. – WRONG!!!
A bowl of yams would be a better mother.
553, you’re a hoot!
Barron Trump is a chess master like his Pa is a genius and Ma went to a university.
Remember her debut to USA was to plagiarize from a genuine First Lady.
Michael Nöthem is a paid hack, he has to $ay crap and lie or he loses.
Barron is kept undercover and no one has heard him speak.
It is cruel what his parents are doing to him.
One day Pa will be dead and if Ma survives she will be disgraced.
Barron will have to prove his parents did him right or wrong.
If he runs and hides it won’t matter when he is an adult.
The truth will prevail.
We will know if he can even speak English. Broken English, like Ma? Or what?
He is raised by Ma’s family and probably does speak fluent Slovenian. He has man servants, like the one his Pa had that contacted Covid.
Pa doesn’t have much to do with the boy he calls Melania’s son.
The whole bunch are a hoot! Hoot masters.

What’s with the handle? You’re either joking, or a retards.
Wow, you’re naive.
I cringe at just the thought of First Mommy speaking French. I mean she’d have to unclench her jaw, yes?
She only unhinges it and slams it shut to crack open walnuts. Or open jars. Possibly change a tire.
HAH!

All ages, public schools should do as Princeton.
“Children often carry a larger viral load than adults and are often asymptomatic. This means that once schools open, they will bring the disease back to their parents and grandparents. This is an absolute disaster in the making.” https://twitter.com/vikireed/status/1290184382880219136
