I guess the end date is when they age out of K-12 education?

My students are in HS. Both fully vaccinated. They go to schools with high student and teacher vaccination. This is just ridiculous.

It’s so funny to me that now people think the Academy of Pediatrics is ridiculous and shouldn’t be listened to. When just 1 year ago they were the gold standard and no one was allowed to voice any different opinion.

do you really think that its all the same people posting contradictory information on an anonymous board? I posted the above note and I've never before posted a statement about the AAP.

I think it’s the same general group of idiots, yes. Apparently you are new to the group.

It's so funny to me that now people think the Academy of Pediatrics SHOULD be listened to. When they didn't before when they advocated for school reopening.

We all understood that AAP was acting in the best interest of children with that recommendation, but did not think that the best interest of children should trump the safety of adults in a deadly pandemic. What’s your excuse for disagreeing with them now?

I don't disagree with them now. I think masking is NBD. I'm actually consistent, unlike yourself.

They can require it but I doubt it will be enforced. I am a HS teacher and I’m not interested in getting into a battle with kids to wear their masks properly. There are more important battles to fight.

DCPS has already stated that masks will need to be worn inside all schools in the fall. The AAP is inconsequential. I'm glad because it means IPL can go ahead.

For how long? At least for terms 1 and 2 because many kids are still not vaccinated. Not to mention some staff have not been vaccinated.

+1, I’m happy to mask my unvaccinated elementary school kids if it means they can be in person in the fall. At the end of the day, isn’t that what we all want?

Actually, I did think that the best interest, safety, well-being, and future of children should be the highest priority. This meant in person schools.

i am so not surprised to hear a parent here say they cared more about a tiny risk to teachers than their own child's well-being and future

Oh please. The kids will be fine. A dead teacher? Not so fine. I guess I’m just less selfish?

DP. Most kids were not fine, many won’t be or will be less so, and the teacher who catches Covid at school and dies will be an extremely rare case.
