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

Um no. Trash collectors don’t face anywhere close to the risk of acquiring Covid on the job as 15 people spending 6 hours in a poorly ventilated room.
Do you know nothing about viral load?

Please explain why most Catholic/private schools have been back since September at full capacity, explain daycare centers, explain indoor gyms/gymnastics/karate/etc. classes. Why are public schools an exception?

Because public schools are accountable for the health and safety of their students, teachers, and staff.

If it were safe (due to testing, procedures, PPE, vaccines, community spread, etc.) then they would have opened a long time ago (thanks, Trump turds, for ruining this for the rest of us).

With the vaccine rollout they will hopefully open soon.

This little rant doesn't cut it.
Do you think that private schools are not accountable for the health and safety of their students, teachers and staff?
Hell...... if something happens at a private school, they will lose their paying customers. I would say they are MORE accountable.
So, your reasoning is totally flawed.

No - private schools help prove my point exactly. They have the means to make a safe environment so that the students can return. They quickly brought air cleaners (that are only now getting procured in public), they procured PPE and set up outdoor classrooms, they require weekly testing (can you imagine any public doing that?), they can even restrict activities outside of school.

If our public school systems could do what the private schools have done, then they would have opened a long time ago.

Don't be absurd. Very few private schools are doing ANY of these things, let alone all of them. Unless by "PPE" you mean, cloth or paper masks. Special air cleaners, outdoor classrooms, weekly testing, restricting activities...none of those things are happening at almost any private.

I don't know where you are, but many of those things are happening at most of the privates schools in DC.

They are held to a higher level of accountability and have delivered.

I don't know what the parochial schools are doing. It's not like child safety has ever been a high priority for them.

Explain daycare centers, the filthiest places on Earth. Please explain how daycares are remaining open and daycare workers continue to show up everyday willing and able. Now, the daycare workers are the true heroes.

Some of the lowest-valued workers in the US? Did they ever have a choice?

Evidently, the only people who have a choice are the public school teachers. Many people have been out working with the public this entire time.

Therefore I'd assume, emerging arguments about teachers/students taking the virus home to their household are entirely irrelevant and disingenuous. On this, we agree.

LOL no. You are always this obtuse?

So SBs should develop policy for public health outside the classroom?

Since the health of teachers' families obviously affects the teachers, then it should be a consideration.

Just as other businesses who value their employees have done.

In northern VA, none of the privates I know of are testing weekly !!!, put in special filters, or ha omg outdoor classrooms. I’m sure they provided paper masks.

There is nothing special about privates vs publics except only one was financially motivated to open.

Exactly, I would think all the private schools and daycares would be closed if the transmission rates were proven to be high. I think the opposite has been proven. The transmission rate will never be zero, so we need to realize and accept that and just move on with life.

But are the transmission rates high in those private schools? Are the students and teachers all constantly sick with covid?

Are daycare employees dropping like flies? They are potentially exposed to Covid all day via children/parents/coworkers, every day, and so far, all is well with the daycares.

What you said is 100% true but all it takes is one instance of wrongthink to draw the wrath of the crazies on this message board

[Anonymous]

Seems that public schools could learn a thing or two from private schools.
If private schools are able to safely open, pubic schools should too.
It's not like private schools have a ton of cash in reserve to do the things that need to be done.
In fact, public schools, for the most part, are better funded.

I know multiple people whose daycares closed suddenly for 2 weeks during staff infections. There was a big outbreak in Arlington too. Just because you don’t hear about it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening

Sure, no doubt, it will happen. Bet they’re back now and fine though. There is a virus going around and the transmission rate will never be zero. Still, not a good enough of a reason to never reopen.
