Chances of mask mandate in school in the fall ?

[Anonymous]

Is there anywhere else in the country where this argument is still taking place like it’s 2020?!

Lol… as if that post was making a case for virtual. It wasn’t but apparently you can’t comprehend and read between the lines. Virtual wasn’t great but what happened in January was even worse. The fact that people refuse to understand this is baffling and it basically proves the point that people who claim to care about education just really care about someone else babysitting their kids. They learned close to nothing in those weeks (but they got to see people so it’s better!) most kids straight up ditched.

100%-absolutely they want the school to be a free babysitter.

For many folks this is an absolute reality. Will you be making a real point soon?

First, you make a real point. School is not an never has been a babysitter.

The way that you characterize it as babysitting for all those who need to provide for their families is just foolish. It's just message board nonsense that means nothing. You make no legitimate point. You're hopeless and irrelevant to any real conversation.

Ironically, you said that “many folks” use it as a babysitter so you characterized it as such.

That's not irony. And yes, one of the inherent functions of school that's woven into how our society is constructed is childcare.

Np. I am a teacher and an educator. I am not a babysitter and am tired of your disrespectful posts lowering us to such level. School was not “constructed” to serve as childcare. Hire a nanny for your babysitting needs.

You also serve the function of childcare. Maybe you don't want that responsibility, but it's yours.

DP. Finally, someone admits that they want the free babysitter.

DP, but it's pretty staggering how many people, including teachers, dismiss the childcare function inherent in public education. I know they think it's some kind of own, but it really shows how much they look down on childcare providers. It's embarrassing.

The January disruption was MASSIVELY overstated. This auditorium thing gets passed around like it was the norm and not the extreme exception.

It absolutely was a disaster on all levels. You have zero clue. “If it didn’t affect me personally, then it didn’t affect anyone!” That’s the entire gist of this forum.

It wasn't a disaster. At all.

Teacher here. Sure was. I’m glad your kid made it to school and I’m glad it apparently didn’t affect your school. That wasn’t the experience of the majority of schools. Stop pretending you know about a situation when you clearly don’t.

Please describe how it was a disaster.

Not the pp, but why should anyone waste their time on something everyone else in this county knows? Busses didn’t show up. There were no subs. Teachers were covering multiple classes at a time. Again, you don’t sound very informed about anything so I guess it’s not shocking you are clueless but it’s not cute to be an idiot. Just because something didn’t affect you doesn’t mean it wasn’t affecting the rest of us. Be a better citizen cause… yikes.

How is any of that a disaster? Busses have been a problem across the nation. How is in-school disruption more of a disaster than telling everybody no in-person in January (or maybe longer)?

Oh Jesus Christ. I’m a PG county teacher who lives in MoCo. We absolutely did the right thing in January and guess what? Our students actually learned! The level of disruption to learning in MoCo was insane. None of my neighbors were happy with how it was handled. Just keep your head in the sand, you seem happy to be uneducated.

Was it insane?! Was it a disaster?! Is HBO picking up the MCPS miniseries you think?

You couldn’t be more wrong. I am not there childcare. They come into my class, get their lesson, and move on to their next classes. Same as if you came into my class for a lesson, do you need to be babysat? Somehow, I think you do.

And you provide childcare. Thanks for continuing to act on that responsibility.

And on this board, I guess school doesn't count as childcare for those who are SAHPs and use the time to get things done or go places during the school day. It's only those evil working parents who need baby-sitting!

Not sure why the people are so triggered by the fact that parents do rely on school not only for education, but to keep their kids in a supervised location for 6 hours a day. The horror!

Not to mention the teachers who also have kids in school.

It's really not. Kids get dropped off, kids get taken care of. MCPS does a pretty good job of that.

It’s embarrassing that you think teachers are merely babysitters.

Kids are at school to gain an education, what are you not understanding about that? Do you not care about education? Seemingly not.

It depends on the child and school but some of us want education not child care. We can take responsibility for our own kids.

So all ES classes should require that parents stay in the classroom for the entire school day so that the care aspect is taken care of The argument that an ES does not provide child care for its students, which are between the ages of roughly 5-11, is so asinine.
