Allegedly there are several options for the fall none of which include being back full time?

Not to mention my job isn’t flexible and I do t earn enough to pay $20 - $30 per hour after taxes for a nanny. Does the county realize most of its families are making $300k a year?

I think only ES kids are going back for F2F instruction because of childcare/ work issues. I also heard that spreading them out amongst MS and HS buildings in addition to ES schools and relocating secondary teachers is also on the table.

Middle-school and high-school kids need to go back to school, too.

I mean 6th graders are what? 11? They can't stay home alone all day doing their own distance ed. That's ridiculous.

DCUM decided rioting is never acceptable —even if innocent black men are being killed by the police. But you will riot if your child has to do distance learning.

I think that was a typo and supposed to be “aren’t” making 300k.

I will riot too. But I sure hope schools will open. Kids are extremely low risk. Why would they be victimized? Adults can protect themselves, and mostly because of adult to adult risks, not because of kids.

Don't worry, PP. First of all, I am not DCUM. Second of all, I won't destroy property; I will organize a sit-in. Because yeah, kids need to go to school. All kids, including middle-school and high-school kids.

Then you're a complete idiot. Sitting in a room with other people, for 15 mins or more is the number 1 way to spread Covid. Slow. Clap. For. You.

Not the PP you are responding too, but I believe the idiot here is you. PP is obviously referring to sitting outside to make a protest and get the attention of media I suppose.

If this is true, I think the county should be more transparent. I will put my kid in private school is that is the case. It even rent somewhere and temporarily move to an open district or state. My kids are suffering not being in school emotionally academically and mentally. Kids are not built for social isolation and sacrificing them for adults who can take care of themselves is unacceptable.

How can we verify if this is true or not?

E-mail your county council members and ask them to ask MCPS.

County Council has no control over MCPS, except to approve their budget. MCPS is independent. Email your Board of Ed member.. but don't hold your breath. My experience has been their attitude is the know what's better for us than we do.
