When do you think we will have the first school closure in APS?

[Anonymous]

Not OP but OP just asked a question. Do you think perhaps you're reading into it just a wee bit too much? Or are you one of those people who is paranoid about schools closing (but not at all concerned about Covid)?

Exactly.

Listen, the entire district, and probably not even an entire school, is going to shut down. So let's play a game that is probably more fun for the "close down everything crowd" - how many kids will APS kill this year?

if you couldn't tell....

Is that good enough OP?

Following up that will be private school parents posting that they are soo glad they left APS and their children are thriving.

Those folks have been saying that for month. I don’t judge them.

The Test Moms and the Filter Folks actually are doing some good.

I was not impressed to see my kids' principal tweet out a picture of herself unmasked talking to a roomful of staff, and then go into the open house to see kids' desks in pods. So I'm holding my breath for the email about the outbreak.......

Oof! Schools across the south are reverting to virtual learning due to uncontrollable case counts. The difference is they have no mask mandate or asymptomatic test program.

The concerning this is so are schools in Virginia where there's a statewide mask order.

And much lower community vaccination rate.

Of course you’d joke about that. Vile.

I don’t think all of APS - or an entire school - will close. But likely many kids and maybe even classrooms will be quarantined.

We are testing and have masks and high % vaccination for eligible people.

I'm sending a high risk child back to fulltime school in the middle of a pandemic in a district that cares more about PR than safety and parents like you who don't care if my kid dies.

So thanks for this... get some humanity. WTF is wrong with people?

OP don’t take these posters to heart. They’re just terrified because they know VA just hit 3,000 Covid cases per a day. Schools were shut down with 30% of those cases rates this time last year.

And they have another ten days of cases climbing before APS even opens.

10 days for a different district. APS opens today. Good luck to those kids.

Why do you feel like APS cares more about PR?

The hysteria on this thread. It has to be Ventilation Woman and Lunch Petitioner. Smart Restart's Twitter (Ventilation Woman runs it) is comparing the start of school to the Hunger Games.

It's really pathetic the ego of these people, who are so desperate for school to fail so they're not proven wrong. It reminds me of Rush Limbaugh when Obama was elected, hoping he failed. Same caliber of ideologue.

According to Burbio, 75% of kids already back to school, with only 158 school districts having to close a school (there are 13,800 school districts nationwide). School was open in much of the US and in private schools last year with minimal problems. Same with schools in Europe (many of them maskless, the horror!).
