So realistically, when do you think somewhat normal full time f2f education will resume?

I'm sure most people reading this forum realize that there's one (maybe two) poster(s) who is/are furious beyond belief that there will be no in-person learning for academic year 2020-21 in Montgomery County. This /these poster(s) cannot accept the obvious and is sitting here 24/7 arguing with anyone who urges reason and acceptance.

I hope that is true. Otherwise it really makes me lose faith in my community.

1. Everyone vaccinated. Even if we have vaccine by the end of this year, it will take at least 6 months to vaccinate 330 million people.
2. Rapid testing (like, answer in an hour). Then if any kid shows symptoms, test the whole classroom the same day, so you have results before they even go home.

#2 requires a higher level of acceptance of risk. Based on watching the BOE meeting earlier this week, I'm skeptical MCPS will even be open to this should it be possible.

At a certain point though, they can't just continue keeping kids out of school because they simply don't want to take on any risk. I think probably a whole academic year with the hybrid option will be OK (I mean it's not great but it's something) but anything longer than that is going to break the entire educational system. Kids will be at least a year behind and it's just going to be absolutely terrible.

Really, kids will be a year behind? They will learn absolutely nothing during DL? All these parents criticizing DL probably just never had much insight into how much their children learned or didn’t learn in regular school. All of a sudden their lives will be ruined by a year of substandard learning, justifying the need to risk the lives of teachers, parents, grandparents, and yes also some children. The selfishness of people is beyond belief. Get your childcare another way without endangering others.

DP. My kids are in high school. I don't need childcare. My children do need an education. And yes, they need school for that. It is not selfish of me to want my children, and everybody else's children, to get an education.

Your children do need an education, and they will be getting school. They will not, however, be getting that school in a BUILDING. Yes, they can do that, whether you like it or not and whether you complain or not.

+1. If your children aren’t learning in Distant Learning, it’s because they are lazy unfocused children. Get them to read a book, do additional math work, etc. Don’t blame MCPS, when it’s you and/or your DC’s fault.

What the heck is wrong with you? You do understand that kindergartners and first graders are literally going to school to learn to read. They are missing out on crucial fundamental learning time. Are you honestly calling 5 and 6 year olds lazy?

+1000. How is a high schooler supposed to learn Spanish IV via worksheet? Learn calculus without a live teacher? Do Labs for biology or physics? Remember MS and HS had asynchronous learning, not zoom calls. It’s amazing that liberals and progressive are hellbent on have an uneducated society.

My then-DCC middle schooler had Zoom calls with her teachers. I had zoom calls with my 5 MS classes. DH did Zoom calls with his HS classes.

There will be school this fall. Via distance-learning only.

Saying that repeatedly doesn’t make it true, you know.

I am just curious. How can daycares currently operate and have little to no Covid reports.

Are you saying daycares will stay open, colleges will open, private schools will open, public schools in other districts will open (some even went back to finish the end of 2020 year) but that you are 100% sure no public schools in the DC metro will have school the entire year. They will be out of school buildings for 16 months straight. You truly believe that? Even though the APA thinks they should go back and the CDC is proposing how it can happen?

Cause I kinda think you are the rogue one trying to act like everyone in DCUM thinks they won’t go back at all - but instead you are posting over and over again with your weird scared tactics.

Very true. Instead of openly saying that they need F2F schools to reopen cause they need daycare, they are hiding behind other bogus reasons like it’s 100% safe for kids, etc.

My kids are in high school. I don't need daycare.

(This doesn't invalidate the reality that plenty of other parents DO need childcare and that one of the functions of schools, for the last century or more, has been to provide childcare.)

Well, yes, when you tell everybody to go about their business as though there weren't covid, and as a result there is a lot of community spread, and nobody takes appropriate precautions including at daycares, then daycares will also have covid.

So let's not do it that way.

Remote instruction is not school, it's remote instruction.

We understand what remote instruction is. And if that is what we get - we'll have to deal or move or homeschool or go private. Take you pick.
