When do you think in-person 5 day a week school will return?

I hope Northam doesn’t approve it until it’s normal for kids to be back in school 5 days a week. |

I mean, FCPS is already the laughing stock amongst all my friends around the country whose kids are attending school in some fashion since September. It is really hard for me to imagine them milking this into the Fall.
Teachers & students 16+ choosing to be vaccinated will be vaccinated Everyone will still need to wear masks Social distancing when able, particularly if masks are off (lunch) I think bussing students could resume All kids need to be 5-days in-person to help stop the learning loss the FCPS school board has perpetuated these past 10 months and counting... |

+1 I personally hope we do the four-day week permanently. But in-person. |

He is completely at the mercy of unions.. he had not stated anything.. governors in the NE sent a joint statement in support of opening schools like a few weeks ago. Blackface northam was mute. And yes, it's northams last months before election (he can't run again) and his kids are in private school, what does he care? He will be well taken care of by approving collective bargaining for the teachers. Make no mistake.. the unions have pushed to get this on the agenda for 2021 and these union supported politicians will support it. |

In what grade are your kids? I can guarantee you you will not think the same way when they are in MS or HS and are so behind their peers Nationwide.. that's at most 80% of what they should be taught.. |

We live in a nova bubble.. and the school board is. funded by the unions.. so, no, not 5 days 2020... Maybe 2021 (really 2022) but it will be four days |

In what alternate reality do these union types live where we come out of a DL pandemic with an ever-widening learning loss gap, have the Governor discuss a year-round school year to catch up AND they think a 4-day school week would be on the table?

The majority of teachers including myself want 5 days of week of normal school. |

| Seems that a big question is the extent to which social distancing will continue to be necessary after some but not all of the positive population is vaccinated. I read a few articles where medical experts are suggesting that social distancing will still be necessary even after one receives the vaccine. I don’t think our country has the wherewithal to do that. There seems to be a feeling that one can mingle like it’s 2019 after getting the shot. |

This. My 85 year old mil bought plain tickets to come visit in April. She will have received both doses of the vaccine by March, so will be fully vaccinated. But I was shocked— I was trying to tell her that she still needs to wear a mask if she is in our home (especially since it’s only a one week trip), and she flipped out on me. The vaccine only prevents severe disease. You can still get sick. |
