And I just feel I need to comment that some of the discourse I see on Twitter directed at folks like Dr. Stoddard is shameful and embarrassing. I can't associate myself with people who are so rude and classless. I think it is great for members of the community to engage with public officials on these issues, and I wish the officials would do better to address our concerns, but people who resort to rudeness and snark are really hindering any progress on this front.

What rudeness and snark? I’m genuinely curious. I have seen people ask for change and call for them to adopt the state guidelines, but I haven’t seen what I consider rudeness—but it may be that I’m just not on Twitter enough to read those tweets.

I mean if you're not on Twitter, then you wouldn't have seen it. I'm not going to dig up the tweets for you. If you don't believe me, I really don't care. I'm not getting involved in this "movement".

I am on Twitter, and I haven't seen that at all.

Ok.

DP. You can find garbage on twitter from all sides, lets be honest. There was a lot of vitriol directed at our school district on twitter for largely keeping schools in person. I understand there are parents who were genuinely concerned about sending their kids in person, but so many of the twitter comments were about how the schools were killing children, how administrators should go to hell, etc.

Anyway, I would just take what you see on social media with a grain of salt. I don't like it as a platform for expressing my opinion to lawmakers, I think contacting them directly is better.

Can’t wait to vaccinate my three year old and have all this be the problem of the unvaccinated. I’m not opposed to a bunch of you moving out of state, it’s a free country, right? And it would mean smaller class sizes for us.

Smaller class sizes where? In daycare? If people aren't there to take up the slots, either the daycares close or you pay more. If you mean in MCPS, if the number of kids enrolled drops, they will just hire fewer teachers. Class sizes will not go down.
