Canceling spring break 2021

[FishProf]

What, you mean you Uni has the foresight to begin these discussions 2 months in advance of the Spring semester? Where can I get some of those forward thinking administrators?

I'll trade the lot of 'em for a bag of balls and a six-pack of craft beer of your choice (the weirder the better).

My Uni is only now talking about a delayed Spring start and no Spring Break.  Ummmm, isn't a bit late to be starting that conversation?

Foresight can be overrated. My school decided to start late hoping that case counts would be down.

I'm not arguing that Spring break is a good idea, but I think there's also a risk of students becoming less careful just because of fatigue when you have two semesters in a row that are just one long slog.

Not sure you want to make that offer. How do you feel about candy canes in your stout? Or habanero?

Yes to all.  I give my BIL a 6 of the weirdest stuff I can find (so far, PB Porter, and Carmel Macchiato Porter are leading the list)

Wait, PB Porter is weird? I admit to liking my beers dessert-like. Local brewery (sadly appears that it may close, has one that tastes like a think mint). SO complains about the hipster beer adulterating his fridge. But he will drink my favorite beer of all time--New Glarus Belgian Red.

Sorry, Peanut Butter-Chocolate Porter was a new one to me.  Purple Monkey Dishwasher is the specific brew.
I had to buy more b/c I like the first 6 too much.

Oops, sorry, I derailed the thread with beer. I'll move over to the posting while plastered thread tonight.

Back on topic of Spring break, there is no evidence that our upper administration has even considered whether we should have spring break. But this is consistent with the level of thought for many of their recent decisions, so. . . I guess no one is surprised.
