How is there not a thread about that lunatic dad who screamed at the Loudon school board?

Looks like is a good phrase. Honestly, with schools closed for so long and DL being the major CF it is with no end in sight, parents are frustrated and angry. This is our kids the SB is messing with. All we want is what's best for them and the system is failing. His outburst is understandable given the situation.


You want what's best for your kid at the expense of public health rates in the community. Sorry - no intelligent government is going for that. Move to Florida or Texas.

Well most families in NOVA are choosing to remain virtual, so this is probably true.


You people are insane. They are choosing to remain virtual because they (for their own reason) don't think its safe enough yet, based on the almost nonexistent plans and info they have been given. They WANT to go back, they just don't want to go back at all costs.


When the CDC says schools can go back and you deny that, the only person who sounds insane is you.


Keep saying that CDC said schools can go back while ignoring the caveats that 1) it depends on community spread not being high (which ours is), 2) it requires keeping all students as cohorts (not currently in the plans for 7-12), and 3) the document explicitly said it reflects the viewpoint of the authors and is not an official position of the CDC. It just makes you look dumber each time.

Parents lose their mind when they have to parent.

I’m all for opening, but he comes off like a nut. There were several parents before and after him who made the same point without screaming like a maniac.

Yes, at some point public health is about balancing benefits and risks of the situation. Having children in public school should be a high priority for public health. And having open schools is not directly causing increased comity spread.

This old trope of "parents are lazy and just want free childcare" is tired and trollish. It doesn't help the cause on your side any.

How could anyone even argue with him. Figure it out sounds really reasonable. Kids are struggling, parents are losing jobs, kids are not learning, there are a lot of unsafe situations. Other school districts have figured it out, private schools figured it out, daycares figured it out- this is a tragedy!

I am so upset that teachers who won't be returning to classrooms are getting the vaccine before daycare workers WHO ARE ALREADY WORKING IN PERSON. That is just scummy.

Oh I don't know...maybe...because...people...are..dying.

And other school districts of the DMVs size just figured out how to let their teachers die. Period.

After 4 deaths (now 6), AEA calls for MPS to reevaluate COVID guidelines

So uninformed you are. NJ is open. so is NY state (and city). Can you move?

Yet it doesn't supersede physical public health. If an ambulance is dispatched to a scene and someone is having a mental breakdown vs cardiac arrest - they're going to triage the cardiac arrest patient first.

In other words - pandemic first. And not spreading the virus is more important.

Not sure how anyone could argue with him, but of course, the loons will.


Well he compared teachers inside a classroom with many kids to trash collectors... so he sounds like a loon.


yeah no. He said trash collectors are willing to do their jobs as public servants and teachers are not willing to do their jobs. It's a good comparison.

NJ is asynchronous as is NY. If you had that you'd be complaining about your kids being home 3 days a week anyway.

The majority of schools are doing some form of virtual learning, with just 86 schools opting for full-time in-person learning. The majority of districts — 446 — have opted for a hybrid approach.

meh he sort of has a point. Didn't appreciate his very slick attempt to compare COVID to the flu, the screaming and the garbage collectors to teachers argument, he is right that we are 1 year in and there has been 0 progress or plan. It is frustrating.

Had to watch the video because one of my high school classmates is a very angry parent in LCPS and I truly thought it might be him. Surprised that it isn't.
