How is there not a thread about that lunatic dad who screamed at the Loudon school board?

I am going to be honest. Hats off to him and he is correct. There are kids that are really struggling right now because they cannot learn in the environment that is being presented. The Board is not doing their job. I have friends that have had to find private schools 30 minutes from their homes because virtual learning has their children calling themselves stupid. They are frustrated. Crying. Struggling.

Too many say it is parents wanting to not deal with their kids or they have to work. But it is overlooking that as a parent to hear your kid struggle every single day because they are withering away. I would be up there screaming too.

Grocery workers are working, retail is working, etc. But teachers cannot? The science supports it.

The environment is not the same AT ALL, which has been explained a thousand times.

Well most families in NOVA are choosing to remain virtual, so this is probably true.

You people are insane. They are choosing to remain virtual because they (for their own reason) don't think its safe enough yet, based on the almost nonexistent plans and info they have been given. They WANT to go back, they just don't want to go back at all costs.

Studies show returning to the classroom with precautions IS SAFE and the Virginia Dashboard shows the same. There have been private schools in Virginia open since September and no outbreaks. So PLEASE tell me how it is different?

So dumb. Loudoun schools are opening 3/3 and were before he did this.

Actually not true. Perhaps for Loudoun - but the pendulum is swinging the other way and at least in Alexandria, Fairfax and Arlington the majority of parents are pushing for in person.

The dad looks like a world class a$$hole. He is not helping his cause at all.

Looks like is a good phrase. Honestly, with schools closed for so long and DL being the major CF it is with no end in sight, parents are frustrated and angry. This is our kids the SB is messing with. All we want is what's best for them and the system is failing. His outburst is understandable given the situation.

Exactly - schools are SAFER than bars, restaurants, retail etc.

The open schools people cannot fathom that they may not be the majority because they only interact with like minded people. It’s not hard to look at FB comments in various groups and see that there are a lot of people who would like their kids to go back to school but do not feel it’s safe right now. I would bet it’s more of an even split or even skewed in favor of staying closed for now.

Private vs public is apples to oranges. I think you know this but just want to pretend it’s not true.
Studies show returning to the classroom with precautions IS SAFE and the Virginia Dashboard shows the same. There have been private schools in Virginia open since September and no outbreaks. So PLEASE tell me how it is different?

Messed up my reply above. See my comment about apples vs oranges. Comparing private to public makes no sense.

Neither of the previous occupations are locked in an enclosed 200-sqft room with 15-30 potential asymptomatic carriers in a building with 500-1,000 similar individuals mingling in the hallways. We've gone over this time and again.

Also Virginia has the highest rising Covid rates in the country right now. Plus poor vaccination.

When the CDC says schools can go back and you deny that, the only person who sounds insane is you.

Not sure how anyone could argue with him, but of course, the loons will.

Well he compared teachers inside a classroom with many kids to trash collectors... so he sounds like a loon.
