I am a teacher writing that. |
It's not an issue of quarantine. I have students who are actually sick for several days and missing school. |
What are you teaching us? Your opinions and insults? |
Good luck with that |
And you think the teachers are crazy? |
Yes. There are crazy teachers who will need to be purged from FCPS if they can’t respect the law. |

The chart you linked to says that the age-adjusted death rate is 284 in DC, 251 in Florida, 247 in Maryland, 234 in California, and 216 in Virginia. What inference am I supposed to be making from these numbers? What have people in this area done? |
And all the parents of kids with IEPs are rolling their eyes. Do you know how many Teachers and Principals do not follow the law when it comes to following IEPs and 504 palns? But sure, go ahead and say that Teachers dealing with the mask issue should be weeded out and not the ones who have been ignoring kids learning needs that are formalized in an IEP. You are a parent with a political agenda that is putting that in front of everything else. You only care about discrimination when it comes to your pet cause. |
My kids and also some of their friends at other schools have in the past 2 weeks brought home non-Covid colds…from school. The masks aren’t preventing it. |
In this area we have a vastly higher percentage of the population who can work from home, for whom “social distancing” means something. That’s meant we weathered Covid better than many, but also that we’ve had the privilege of many being very cautious. Look at the zip codes where people tended to have to go to work in-person (grocery store clerks, line cooks, garbage truck drivers, etc.) and you can see they had it worst. We need to stop moralizing being in the Zoom class. |
The WSJ had an article on age adjusted death rates in November that says pretty much the opposite of what PP is trying to say. Pro-mask crazies just won't give up. https://www.wsj.com/articles/florida-covid-death-toll-age-adjusted-desantis-11636407924 |
Looking at data is not moralizing. Being in the "Zoom class" has actually had an impact on death rates -- this is something that should be stated rather than avoided. Not just masks but also staying home has an impact during the pandemic. When you refuse to admit that, you sound like an unscientific person. |
Sooooooo, what’s allowed March 1? Is there a consensus? |
Where in the data do you see this? Age-adjusted deaths are not appreciably lower in the DC area than they are in Florida. |
