Are your kids eating lunch outside?

Continue your life as it is, Covidian Karen.

Yeah, it doesn’t work that way. Work on your clap back.

Help me, this is too easy with the flu crowd.

a dog? Hike in the winter? Mine are delighted. Get a perspective, you’re running out of time

Kids sitting on freezing bare concrete... Trying to lean forward to their lunchboxes, trying to get things from their lunchboxes with freezing hands. Hmm.. No..

We have tools to fight the virus before people catch covid, after they catch covid. What is your proposal when these tools are now available? What is your off-ramp plan to return kids lives back to normal, when adults are already living like this: https://twitter.com/JGoldny/status/1484977650162712578

It's currently 19 degrees out and my kids will once again be eating lunch outside so that they can remove their double masks for 20 minutes without the risk of killing anyone. One of my kids described a scene in which 70+ kids huddle around two heat lamps, "like homeless people living under a bridge," in an attempt to keep warm. The teachers, of course, eat inside.

You're welcome to guess which DC private school I'm talking about.

Would be interested in hearing if others are doing the same.

Only in onerous Washington DC private schools. Their “committee” came up with it. Leading the city, state, nation and other nations with their great idea. So far uptake elsewhere has been zero.

One of my kids is coming home with a nearly full lunchbox because they say they are too cold to eat.

I’m super irritated — I’m only not complaining because I’m not sure if it is being driven by the teachers or by parents. I’m much more sympathetic to teachers being concerned about covid than parents.

Fwiw, my kids are vaccinated, so it’s not like we are Covid deniers, but schools need to find a pathway to a new normal with Covid - preferably one that doesn’t involve eating outside in sub-freezing temperatures.

Sounds like our lower school, that also prohibits students from attending any school if someone in their home is positive and isolating.

The Scandinavians are probably laughing at this thread.

20 degrees in a North Face Parka. Oh, noooooo.

Oh my. Also. Really? Your household is positive and yet the admin won’t let you mingle? Indoors? With other children? The outrage.

Chill for a week. We follow the science and will be back to normal asap. It’s been like two weeks tops?!

I hate to have to spell this out for you but there are vulnerable community members and those too young to be vaccinated in our midst. But you know, as you were, have a sip, write a post, shed some more humanity in the process

Just name calling, as always. You guys always resort to name calling and belittling when you lack substance. I don't see any path you proposed. If you have anything in mind, why don't you share it.

You are calling someone unscientific when that person mentioned the tools we have to combat the virus

People try to reason with you. There’s a clear plan laid out which is reasonable, science-based and inclusive. You not linking it, doesn’t mean it’s lacking.
