Reports of Jack's departure have been greatly exaggerated.

We have him until the end of the school year. Whether you support him or can't wait to see his back side, he still has time to do lots more stuff.

I know I'm just saying that whoever takes over for him will have a different priorities about maintaining distance learning options even after a covid less of an immediate threat

I’m fine with it but mark my words this summer you are going to be seeing a bizarre world where the adults are back playing but moco moms are bubble wrapping their kids.

No, just a world where kids bring it home and parents get sick, missing two or more weeks of work and maybe some parents are left permanently disabled or die. But hey, all that matters is that kids got to sit in a school building.

Huh? Vaccinations are up to close to 1M per day now. That will be well over 200M people in the US vaccinated by September, which is the entire adult population of the US. Any adult that wants to be vaccinated will be. The only parents who will be getting sick and dying from COVID coming home will be ones who refuse vaccination, and those people who willingly refuse to do so shouldn't be allowed to hold the rest of us hostage.

MoCo is lagging in vaccinations. MCPS did not make any arrangements for its staff to be vaccinated, even those who live in MoCo.

Ok, but September is 7 months away. Lots of time to make it up.

If I decide to send my kid in person, I already have the mindset willing to take certain risk. I don’t care much 3 feet or 6 feet social distancing because I expect young elementary kids would not follow that closely. And, I know that many kids do not wear their masks right. I expect all adults (teachers and staff) to wear masks even after vaccinated. I just wants 5 days in person full time back.

THIS. Our kids have lost a YEAR of school. A YEAR. Without evidence that schools are transmission vectors. Insanity.

Worst managed school district in the nation. Complete and utter failure.

I keep seeing this stated, but it's not true. Maryland is in the top half of the US in terms of # vaccinations to date (though barely in top half). And Montgomery County is about average for Maryland. What is 'lagging' in that?

I believe MCPS is supposed to begin vaccinations next Monday, not last Monday. No?

Our kids have not lost a year of school. Stop being dramatic. If you kids are not attending school, that's on you as a parent. School has been dumbed down because of parents complaining, but they still haven't lost a year.

Lagging is code word for I demand my family be vaccinated now.
