Chances of mask mandate in school in the fall ?

Anonymous
When will the anti-mask crowd get over it? It's 2022. Mask mandates in schools are over. It's ok. Let's stop obsessing with the past.

??? Okay, fortunately you're just a message board whiner not in charge of anything. See you in school (or not) in two weeks.


Lol… as if that post was making a case for virtual. It wasn’t but apparently you can’t comprehend and read between the lines. Virtual wasn’t great but what happened in January was even worse. The fact that people refuse to understand this is baffling and it basically proves the point that people who claim to care about education just really care about someone else babysitting their kids. They learned close to nothing in those weeks (but they got to see people so it’s better!) most kids straight up ditched.


The January disruption was MASSIVELY overstated. This auditorium thing gets passed around like it was the norm and not the extreme exception.


It absolutely was a disaster on all levels. You have zero clue. “If it didn’t affect me personally, then it didn’t affect anyone!” That’s the entire gist of this forum.

100%-absolutely they want the school to be a free babysitter.


For many folks this is an absolute reality. Will you be making a real point soon?


Teachers did not go to school to be reduced to being a babysitter. If school were a babysitter, then they would all hire my teenage neighbors to work.

Covid does not transmit any longer? Did I miss that announcement?

First, you make a real point. School is not an never has been a babysitter.


The way that you characterize it as babysitting for all those who need to provide for their families is just foolish. It's just message board nonsense that means nothing. You make no legitimate point. You're hopeless and irrelevant to any real conversation.

The reopening crowd will never stop until they receive formal apologies. Move on. School has been open for over a year. They just need something to write about in the Washington post to further their career under the guise of caring about their kids.

Probably when people stop dying or end up with long-term complications from COVID.

True. Who needs bus drivers, teachers, cafeteria staff. They aren't needed. Subs can handle everything. Summer school went so well without teachers and bus drivers, why not fall?


We stayed open all last spring, so.


No you didn't. Lots of students missed class, lots of students didn't have bus service or teachers. That's not open. That's faking it and pretending learning can go on when it can't.


You're describing virtual. Lots of students missed class. Lots of students didn't have anything close to a good home environment for learning. That's not open. That's faking it and pretending learning can go on when it can't. So now that that's settled, what is it you want? Masks?


Your post is a stretch. Kids in virtual did not use buses. If the did not participate it’s on the parents. Maybe you should monitor your kids better.


School last year was a helluva lot more effective than the virtual year. There's zero debate about that.


Only because kids whose parents were slack showed up to classes.


That was our impression too. I remember some kids would login and you could hear them playing video games. Their parents were MIA. One mom told me she didn't have time to monitor her kids because it interfered with her online pilates classes.

All need to provide for their families. I provide for my family; my spouse provides for our family. You are hopeless as a freeloader and a warped perception of what a teacher is. Be a responsible parent and hire a babysitter for your babysitting needs.

Sure she did. Are you even trying to make realistic-sounding lies any more? Or is this your Trump stage where you just start saying crazier and crazier things?
