Oh I agree. I don't think they'd be studied together, they don't really belong in the same category. I'm just pointing out that even something traditionally considered lowbrow (like 50 Shades) has a place in academia.
Well yes, you can study virtually anything at US/UK university these days in one department or another but I don't think they're doing themselves any favours. The more accessible art they study the less people will see the need to go to university to study it IMO.
Arguably, no one NEEDS to go to university to study art.
Nobody's mentioned the Da Vinci code (which sold more copies than 50 shades) Maybe before your time?
Just love this time of year.It's fantastic to come to school during, what's about to be declared, an epidemic, and do nothing but play movies in a freezing cold classroom with NO AIRCON.
Watch movies....... Aircon........ Netflix and Chill?
I'm not sure that 15 cases (all of which are currently in quarantine) of a disease that has a death rate of less than 3% (compared to bronchiolitis' 3%, and the flu's 6%) should be considered an epidemic.Also, wanting to turn on the aircon at this time of year? You must really hate your kids!
Yeah I agree that at the very least, students shouldn't be at school. They're just watching movies so what's the point in risking it by being here?From what people are saying it seems that the reaction to the virus is entirely down to your principal. I'm amazed that there hasn't been any communication from the offices of education to the native teachers. Unless they just communicated with the school directly.
FYI, the flu has a mortality rate of 0.01%
It's impossible to have a decent estimate of the Coronavirus mortality rate as it hasn't really hit it's stride yet and is completely new.
I'd say there's a good chance the CCP hasdownplayed these numbers, going by their nature and actions of the last 3 months). The WHO seems to be heavily downplaying the situation as well, thanks to there vested interests in China.
Chinese New Year started less than 2 weeks ago so we're still very much in the incubation period of what could potentially be the largest outbreak to date. The infected 14 are in quarantine, but what about the potential 4.08 they've infected and so on?There's plenty of misinformation, fake news and a lack of facts about what's going on and I might very well be wrong, but nobody , including you, can be certain at this point. Ultimately, if the school is making all students and teachers wear masks and I've been instructed to wipe down my keyboard and monitor with disinfectant, wouldn't it be a better idea to cancel school during the pointless few days during mid-vacation?
