Chances APS goes virtual after break?

[Anonymous]

They could close individual schools for a few days, I think, if the absence rate is above a specific threshold. Our family was at McKinley during the norovirus outbreak, and they were within just a few absences of shutting it down. Luckily Thanksgiving break intervened and it was under control after that.

No, but I can see sports halting for a few weeks.

Did teachers learn nothing last year?

The reason teachers in APS are struggling right now is they refused to come to school last year vaccinated. Had they just returned after vaccinations, wow! what suffering they could have saved themselves.

I am betting schools that went virtual in our area did so for staffing shortage but omnicrom have them a good cover.

I’m sure the teachers will be just thrilled that the teacher haters are back and ready to sh-t on them. That will definitely encourage teachers not to quit.

Hopefully they have common sense and know that anonymous commenters on the internet are not representative of real life.

That person isn’t even making sense. We did come back last year after vaccination. Some of us were back in November.
I don’t take it personally, I know it’s just a small group of people consumed with anger. My student’s families are lovely and the appreciation is mutual.

I know disgusting parent like this IRL.

Fortunately, not many. But they exist and they are loud and obnoxious. One screamed and cursed at my kid’s teacher DURING class over Teams last year. It was insane.

I can tell you it’s definitely been discussed. PG county did not take this lightly when they made their decision. Watch Fairfax go first then we will follow.

At our ES, a majority of the students will be traveling out of state over break. I don’t think it’s necessary to shut schools down, but I do think testing should be a requirement for everyone (students/teachers) once they are back to limit exposures and quarantines.

If they do anything it will be on a class by class basis. With the new CDC guidelines they may not even have to do that.

I think the CDC guidance on TTS is a game changer. Biden needs to push thru the tests and schools and classrooms will no longer close. And hopefully by end of year or definitely next year we are back to full normal (no masks, no tests, no quarantines), though I hope outdoor lunch remains an option for Jon-COVID reasons.

I agree and I’m one of those crazy open-uppers.

Where did this come from? You made this comment and not one teacher had been on this thread calling for or wondering about switching to virtual. I’m an ES teacher. Through yesterday our school had been doing quite well. I see no reason to switch. I don’t want to switch. No colleague I know wants to do that.

Discussed by who? DCUM?

Under state law we won’t see entire districts like these close.
