Any schools going remote - increases in cases?

[Anonymous]

Lots of cases at DS’s school, but no switch to virtual. Seems reckless!

Heads are in the sand for this wave. Unfortunately the virus doesn't go away when we ignore it.

We are keeping our kid home until things get better.

It is everywhere right now. Lots of asymptomatic positives. Home tests not included in most counts so cases underreported.

People are in denial over the current reality. Unmasking at just the absolute wrong time.

Schools will never go remote en masse again, even if they should.

I know a few people who have had Covid recently, and it has been totally mild for all of them.

Why would we close schools for that?!

If our private goes virtual there will be mutiny... and I'll be the one leading the charge. No way.

Same with bringing back required masks.

They still test weekly and there have been few to no cases at all this year save January when pretty much everyone (including my kid) got it.

Because they care about public health and understand that more cases means more chances for this virus to mutate and continue to disrupt our lives.

I agree that I don’t think any schools actually care that much anymore. But it doesn’t take much effort to bring back some social distancing, masking, or moving classes outdoors. Better than zoom school.

A few private schools in the DMV going virtual is not going stop mutations.

But the point is that the virus is no longer disrupting our lives any more than other viruses.

The only one with head in the sand is OP. Virtual is disastrous. No school should EVER go virtual again.

In what decade do you expect that to happen?

Seems reasonable. Calm down.
