I don't think having a leader catering to people like this is "fortunate"

Last I checked, Hogan was gov of MD, not VA. Maybe you are in the wrong school forum?

Oh yes. I forgot. Maryland and Montgomery County in particular is a magical land where no crazy Republican's live. We have mystic anti-cra-cra barriers on the boundaries of 485 and 270 to ensure such a thing does not exist here. My bad.

And I apologize to Republicans. It's really the anti-mask, in-person-only school crowd (which includes independent liberal spouses).

F*off. I'm for masks in schools, and we are boosted.

-Independent with liberal spouse

You are a crazy, high anxiety, fear ridden liberal. I can play the mud slinging game, too, just as well as you can, if not better.

No need to get mad at someone on an anonymous board. Calm down.

Is that a mea culpa, PP? I bet it is now that you got called out on your stupidity.

I am mad.. I am mad at high anxiety stupid people who insist on closing down the schools because of their fear. As a PP pointed out, the surge came during break; infection rate is declining. What would be the point of closing schools now?

And again, just because people want kids in school where they learn their best doesn't mean people also don't want everyone to mask up. The fact that some high anxiety stupid liberal can't see that tells me that their anxiety is killing off some of their brain cells. Do we want to listen to people who are half cocked?

Yeah, you really need to calm down.

Your poor grammar reveals how little you value education, and how much you would benefit from it.

You also profoundly misread the current political climate. Even very liberal parents like myself are horrified by the closure of schools for so long, and the last thing we want to see is a repeat of this. I am even willing to vote Republican if necessary to see the schools remain open, something I never thought I would say.

The fact is that omicron poses close to zero risk for children, and is not much worse than the flu for everyone else. Closing schools while everything else remains open would be criminally stupid.

On the contrary. I'm not for permanent virtual-learning at all. But I am for temporary virtual learning when school outbreaks occur.

As far as "misreading the current political climate", what I see are a few very angry people dominating the more reasonable majority. It seems as if the in-person crowd had to withdraw their petition? I couldn't find it anymore. Could it be since in-person was only around 1K and the virtual petition was at 20K?

And you, droog, see how the parents of VA are standing up against he Governor now that he's shown his true colors.

The state voted for the Youngkin precisely because he made Educational change his centerpiece issue, but didn't pre-announce what his agenda really was. Now parents realized the mistake and stood up against him.

The teachers’ unions should be careful too. The more they act against the interests of children’s education, the more they will be caught up in the backlash.

We tried that! Our kids were out of school for over a year, one of the longest times in the country. My kid STILL cannot have spectators at his sports events. MoCo is talking about a ridiculous vaccine mandate for kids age 12+, which would be extended to kids age 5+ starting in March.

We have been making public health policy to appease the anxiety-ridden residents of this county for far too long. Now, I want to see public health policy being made based on DATA and FACTS.

How are parents standing up? Did you find one of those entirely ineffective, completely idiotic petitions floating around?

Yeah, you really need to calm down.

why? I'm passionate about my kids and their ability to learn in person. I guess the pro-vl aren't, except when they start a petition to go virtual, and get everyone and their dog to sign it, and say, "see.. we have 13K people who want virtual".

Independent, and liberal spouse who agrees

A closed school is defined as one where no instructional learning occurs. A 10-day temporary virtual learning status to help slow virus spread does not close schools.

Closing the schools does nothing to slow the spread. Omicron surged over the Christmas break.

Virtual learning was a disaster from an educational and mental health perspective.

Please just homeschool your kids and leave the rest of us alone. I want my kids in school, where they belong.

Christmas (e.g. Winter Break) is not evidence that non-in-person learning (not "closing"). Winter Break is evidence that when families and friends get together, unmask for a meal (similar to a lunchroom), they spread infection. It was a nice try though- keep at it!

Do you think people won't be gathering together when the kid are virtual? I see teachers on social media posting about their gathering and traveling. Lost of people traveled all over and dialed it in last year.

Now you're just arguing from both sides of your mouth.

On one hand it's okay for kids to unmask in school lunchrooms, no matter how many get infected, and not to close down; yet teachers are being told by MCPS and the Governor that this is all okay - but can't "gather and travel"? Inconsistent messaging leads to inconsistent results.

I 100% did not say people can't travel. You clearly need to be in person school.

If restaurants/bars are open where people unmask to eat, then schools can be open where kids unmask to eat.

Close the restaurants and bars first to control the spread. Schools should be the last to close.

The school is closed... ie, "closed school".

And per Hogan, MD stated that it had to be IN PERSON 180 day instruction, like the vast majority of this country and the world.

And yet it doesn’t. They made it seem like it was mandated but it was merely suggested. We all discovered this last month when PG went virtual. I suggest you keep up.
