Has anybody sent their kid to school with a CO2 monitor (to measure ventilation)?

So once you have data that says the co2 is too high, you do what? Call from your office and ask the teacher to open a window?

My kid was monitoring and gave updates to the teacher and me - the teacher who would have opened the window more or maybe added another air cleaner.

I hope you paid for the air cleaner. I don’t get why you think a cheap air cleaner is the solution. Good luck with that. You sound annoying. If you are ok sending your child in person stop complaining about it bb

Because they are smart and know covid is airborne. Any extra ventilation improves the indoor air to lessen the exposure to covid.

I'm not complaining but its gross to monitor the air, complain to the teacher and expect the teacher to purchase more air cleaners and filters. If you were so concerned about covid, you would homeschool or do VA.

You keep showing up with these wild accusations about things allegedly done by people who use air quality monitors…that no one here has said that they’ve done. Why is that?

You're talking to multiple different people. I know this because I'm one of them. But not that one. What you're doing is weird and hypervigilant. Monitoring the air in your own home is fine. Monitoring the air in school is crazy. If you don't trust the air quality, send your kid to a small private and leave the teachers alone. They have enough stress without you forcing yours on them.

This, seriously. It is completely bizarre. Kids are sitting in desks not spaced out. They are hugging, sitting right next to each other, etc. Air Quality is nice but given how close they are, they will catch it given how infectious the new variant is. Teachers have enough to worry about. This is truly bizarre and you should get your mental health checked if you are minimizing how serious covid is and hiding behind things like air quality.

It will take multiple layers of mitigation from better air quality to distancing to masking to testing. Either you are part of the problem or solution but just worrying about air quality is giving you a false sense of security.

And, there have been studies about the windows opening putting students at risk as then the covid is blown to the kids nearest the windows.

Um multiple layers includes indoor air quality. That's why school systems across the country have CO2 monitors in every classroom. The idiot who thinks the CO2 monitor belongs at home flunked science. CO2 monitors are most beneficial in shared public spaces. The idea, for people that have brains, is to keep the CO2 levels low when the space is shared and when people including kids are in close contact. It's science. It's how people keep from spreading COVID. It's of course meaningless to the parents sending their kid to school to get them out of the house. For the parents that want their child to be educated a CO2 monitor is a way to keep COVID from spreading so kids can continue to learn.

So then enlighten us. What does the kid do with the information? What action does it result in?

Already asked and answered. Try to keep up. Or not, if it’s just beyond you.

Opening windows is not the fix.

It’s one of many layers used to reduce transmission. You stupid?

Opening windows can completely change the room's airflow, leaving areas without proper air exchange.

MCPS is 100% back to normal so what are you talking about. There will be no masking, no regular testing, no precautions what so every. Its disheartening that MCPS and parents don't care about student or family health and safety.

Your kids can certainly wear masks if they want, and there is a virtual option available if you are not comfortable with in person, which most districts are no longer offering, FWIW. You could also move to a district that has precautions more to your liking, although I have no idea where that would be. This area still has the highest mask usage of anywhere I’ve been in the last few months.

The virtual option has limited space. There are no districts with precautions or I would consider moving.

The fact that you can't find ONE district with precautions should tell you something. Do you not see this is a YOU problem?

.
This! Exactly! And thank God that’s the case - PP is the odd man out, not the other way around.

Being cautious and not eating Covid is common sense. You are the problem if you don’t see that.

Fine. Call me the problem. IDGAF about being cautious or what you think about me. I still think you're nuts. Have you run out of things to post about now that there's no daily dashboard to obsess over?

My kids don't enter a school building so the daily dash boards make no difference to me. You aren't being cautious and you aren't fooling anyone you tell that you are cautious. If you were cautious your kids would be in virtual or at a minimum masking and weekly testing. A Co2 monitor isn't going to help with covid, testing and masking and distancing will.

Huh. Not OP but my kids are masking and we test regularly at home, and I think taking in a CO2 monitor is a great idea. Sorry I can't be the martyr you are and keep my ES kids locked up in virtual but 1) screens are terrible for my one DC in particular, and 2) we have no significant health challenges. We know one family that has been in virtual because they have one kid who is very high risk but even they are sending their other kid back to in-person this year because they have decided that is in HIS best interest.

You need a new hobby if you're obsessively posting on threads that don't even matter to you. Literally no one cares if you win at the Covid-cautious war, but keep at it if it's important to you.

You're talking to multiple different people. I know this because I'm one of them. But not that one. What you're doing is weird and hypervigilant. Monitoring the air in your own home is fine. Monitoring the air in school is crazy. If you don't trust the air quality, send your kid to a small private and leave the teachers alone. They have enough stress without you forcing yours on them.

This, seriously. It is completely bizarre. Kids are sitting in desks not spaced out. They are hugging, sitting right next to each other, etc. Air Quality is nice but given how close they are, they will catch it given how infectious the new variant is. Teachers have enough to worry about. This is truly bizarre and you should get your mental health checked if you are minimizing how serious covid is and hiding behind things like air quality.

It will take multiple layers of mitigation from better air quality to distancing to masking to testing. Either you are part of the problem or solution but just worrying about air quality is giving you a false sense of security.

And, there have been studies about the windows opening putting students at risk as then the covid is blown to the kids nearest the windows.

Um multiple layers includes indoor air quality. That's why school systems across the country have CO2 monitors in every classroom. The idiot who thinks the CO2 monitor belongs at home flunked science. CO2 monitors are most beneficial in shared public spaces. The idea, for people that have brains, is to keep the CO2 levels low when the space is shared and when people including kids are in close contact. It's science. It's how people keep from spreading COVID. It's of course meaningless to the parents sending their kid to school to get them out of the house. For the parents that want their child to be educated a CO2 monitor is a way to keep COVID from spreading so kids can continue to learn.

If you are so comfortable with in person, o need to monitor the co2. The logic makes no sense.

MCPS is 100% back to normal so what are you talking about. There will be no masking, no regular testing, no precautions what so every. Its disheartening that MCPS and parents don't care about student or family health and safety.

Your kids can certainly wear masks if they want, and there is a virtual option available if you are not comfortable with in person, which most districts are no longer offering, FWIW. You could also move to a district that has precautions more to your liking, although I have no idea where that would be. This area still has the highest mask usage of anywhere I’ve been in the last few months.

The virtual option has limited space. There are no districts with precautions or I would consider moving.

The fact that you can't find ONE district with precautions should tell you something. Do you not see this is a YOU problem?

Being cautious and not eating Covid is common sense. You are the problem if you don’t see that.

Fine. Call me the problem. IDGAF about being cautious or what you think about me. I still think you're nuts. Have you run out of things to post about now that there's no daily dashboard to obsess over?

My kids don't enter a school building so the daily dash boards make no difference to me. You aren't being cautious and you aren't fooling anyone you tell that you are cautious. If you were cautious your kids would be in virtual or at a minimum masking and weekly testing. A Co2 monitor isn't going to help with covid, testing and masking and distancing will.

Huh. Not OP but my kids are masking and we test regularly at home, and I think taking in a CO2 monitor is a great idea. Sorry I can't be the martyr you are and keep my ES kids locked up in virtual but 1) screens are terrible for my one DC in particular, and 2) we have no significant health challenges. We know one family that has been in virtual because they have one kid who is very high risk but even they are sending their other kid back to in-person this year because they have decided that is in HIS best interest.

You need a new hobby if you're obsessively posting on threads that don't even matter to you. Literally no one cares if you win at the Covid-cautious war, but keep at it if it's important to you.

If you are so comfortable with in person, o need to monitor the co2. The logic makes no sense.

Better to keep your head in the sand than ask questions, amiright?

They provide real-time data. ?

We (including DD"s teacher) wanted to ensure that the room had adequate ventilation/fresh air.

So once you have data that says the co2 is too high, you do what? Call from your office and ask the teacher to open a window?

My kid was monitoring and gave updates to the teacher and me - the teacher who would have opened the window more or maybe added another air cleaner.

I hope you paid for the air cleaner. I don’t get why you think a cheap air cleaner is the solution. Good luck with that. You sound annoying. If you are ok sending your child in person stop complaining about it bb

Because they are smart and know covid is airborne. Any extra ventilation improves the indoor air to lessen the exposure to covid.
The only person complaining is you.

I'm not complaining but its gross to monitor the air, complain to the teacher and expect the teacher to purchase more air cleaners and filters. If you were so concerned about covid, you would homeschool or do VA.

You keep showing up with these wild accusations about things allegedly done by people who use air quality monitors…that no one here has said that they’ve done. Why is that?

You're talking to multiple different people. I know this because I'm one of them. But not that one. What you're doing is weird and hypervigilant. Monitoring the air in your own home is fine. Monitoring the air in school is crazy. If you don't trust the air quality, send your kid to a small private and leave the teachers alone. They have enough stress without you forcing yours on them.

This, seriously. It is completely bizarre. Kids are sitting in desks not spaced out. They are hugging, sitting right next to each other, etc. Air Quality is nice but given how close they are, they will catch it given how infectious the new variant is. Teachers have enough to worry about. This is truly bizarre and you should get your mental health checked if you are minimizing how serious covid is and hiding behind things like air quality.

It will take multiple layers of mitigation from better air quality to distancing to masking to testing. Either you are part of the problem or solution but just worrying about air quality is giving you a false sense of security.

And, there have been studies about the windows opening putting students at risk as then the covid is blown to the kids nearest the windows.

Um multiple layers includes indoor air quality. That's why school systems across the country have CO2 monitors in every classroom. The idiot who thinks the CO2 monitor belongs at home flunked science. CO2 monitors are most beneficial in shared public spaces. The idea, for people that have brains, is to keep the CO2 levels low when the space is shared and when people including kids are in close contact. It's science. It's how people keep from spreading COVID. It's of course meaningless to the parents sending their kid to school to get them out of the house. For the parents that want their child to be educated a CO2 monitor is a way to keep COVID from spreading so kids can continue to learn.

How does it keep Covid from spreading? The kid asks the teacher to open a window, which may or may not happen? Compelling.

Seems like it’s beyond your comprehension abilities. Sit back and don’t worry about it, honey.

So then enlighten us. What does the kid do with the information? What action does it result in?

Already asked and answered. Try to keep up. Or not, if it’s just beyond you.

Opening windows is not the fix.

It’s one of many layers used to reduce transmission. You stupid?

What is wrong with you? What about kids with allergies? There are issues with opening windows and air flow. Lots of studies on it.

You are against.....opening windows?

GTFO, troll.

Are you the troll? Seriously, do you have any knowledge on the subject? If we're going to have open windows all year, why bother with HVAC systems at all, it would be wasteful.

If you open the windows it will mess with the HVAC (if upgraded) and the air filters. And, it may create a problmeatic air flow where the covid hits kids sitting in that air flow per studies.

Worrying about CO2 is bizarre. If you truly care you'd want masking, regular weekly testing, and social distancing at schools and outdoor lunch or smaller groups.
