Apparently you can.

If you’re a parent, o homeschool your kid. Problem solved.

If you’re a teacher, you aren’t going to convince the rest of us to return to DL.

If you’re both, that’s a dilemma. But, as parents has been told for almost 2 years, suck it up and make the impossible happen. Unless you’re a crappy parent, of course.

So glad the VA legislature mandated in person.

That woald be so much fun to relive those fun memories all over once more!

I think people should mentally prepare for the possibility if not likelihood.

Weird I didn’t know kindergarten started with 4 year olds

No, but how do you protect young children if this impacts American kids too. Valid question.

Start by getting vaccinated. We aren't going to continue to give kids less because adults refuse to get vaccinated.

Triple vaxxed and I agree with you. I still think we need to think about how to protect kids right now while we have time to plan.

Who cares if you are triple vaxxed. You can still get and spread covid.

Fall kids start at age 4.

Reading a calendar not your strong suit? It’s December. All Kers should be 5. An under 5 vaxx should be in place well before school starts next fall.

None of that applies if Omicron is infecting 100 kids at once. No one is trying to push a return to DL for kicks. The question is what happens if things get really bad? Are there any triggers built into that legislation?

The good news is the kids will all get at once and hopefully be immune till the next mutation.

Good god, we just went through the hysterics about delta. Where I am nothing happened wrt delta, and we aren’t even that well-vaccinated (like 65% of eligible). We aren’t going back to DL.

You act as if people are rooting for this to be bad instead of recognizing it likely is. Can you not tell the difference?

DP. People were absolutely hoping Delta would be bad. I remember pages of gleeful posts from last summer predicting dead children in every school by Christmas if kids went back. You can't deny there is a group of disaster fetishists on DCUM that are overtly hoping for a disaster. That isn't everyone, but there is a solid group that seems to hope for mass death.

Putting them aside, as I don't think there are hardly any people truly rooting for mass death - my question is how do we keep schools open with something causing massive outbreaks? Will people be willing to have kids wear medical grade masks? I know one district that provides this for all students and hospital grade air filtration, but of course not all districts have the resources. Seems a lot of the federal funding should be directed at this during Omicron.

You do realize some kids are 3 and 4 in school either through head start or SN.

We cannot stop it if people aren't masking and being cautious outside school. So, it will run rapidly through the school and lots of kids and their families and communities will get sick. Plan to get covid.

Yes. We should all plan to get Covid. Even Fauci has said that. The trick is getting vaccinated first.

I always knew the pediatric vaccines would take more time. So I assumed my kids would get Covid before they’d be vaccinated, and I was fine with that given the small risk to them. Over the summer I thought things were looking up on the vaccine, and briefly thought they’d be vaccinated before finally catching Covid, but that is looking less and less likely now. And I’m still fine with that, except for the ridiculously long quarantine/isolation period.

I'm not planning to get Covid. If it happens, I won't be surprised, but it's not something I'm just going to throw my hands up and let happen.
