ok....but why do you care so much? Wouldn't you want the resources spent on something that actually matters? They should do away with the dashboard entirely and use those resources some place else. |
They never report to the state school dashboard, which is published every Wednesday. If they're not hiding information, why not report to the state? |
| Wait, people still test for Covid? |
RIGHT! |
We just did. Hospitals are full of children with covid/RSV/flu. We are in a public health crisis. Again. |
The MCPS health officer says she is too new to have any idea what to do. |
Why wouldn't you test if you have symptoms and are sick? I know you all aren't alone in thinking that but that is irresponsible when there is still so much sickness around. |
This. Which is why those of us who care have already pulled our kids. They'll go back when things are better again. There's few masks, no mitigation. No thanks. |
Parents and staff are responsible for reporting their own cases through the reporting form. If the dashboard is showing zero it is because parents are not reporting their kids being positive. |
If they really cared about the welfare of our kids, they'd go virtual again. |
FTFY |
x 1 million Hope they learned their lesson (pun intended). The achievement gap got larger with the pandemic, and it's going to take *years* to recover from the pandemic learning loss (yes it was a loss and not a "learn differently" as some progressive liberal wants to frame it) . |
Taking years to recover is the best case scenario. The most likely scenario is that the cohorts hit the hardest don't ever recover. Which is incredibly sad. But that sadness can easily became anger when you realize it was all for naught; no lives were saved from school closures |
Sure. I was half kidding. We've tested the last few times the kids have been home sick. And we have been 0/3 with each illness. But we also agreed that we would keep the results of the tests to ourselves. Health is personal, and I don't want people overreacting to our own personal health scenarios. Stay home when sick; its that simple |
True but the same people would complain that their kids were an undue burden and caused them to miss yoga class. |
