Reopening Without Following CDC Guidelines?

The only intervention that actually seems to matter re: rates is the *teacher* being masked and that largely on affects transmission rates between teachers. It is time to go back using whatever precautions we can, but not holding everything hostage over those we can’t.

Amen to this

Like the teacher who posted above, the teachers and the principal will likely find workarounds. Your issue is that you have to commit before knowing what those workaround would be. We understand that's difficult. But it does work for the vast majority of families, and life is not fair.

Seriously, if you are crowdsourcing evidence to support your twisted opinion this is unsafe take it elsewhere and just stay virtual. You ruin this for us don’t ever expect another dinner invitation or play date from anyone. Do you want to be permanently labeled as the crazy mom who ruined IPL.

You would really punish elementary school children by ostracizing the family because of this?

Welcome to the Lafayette way! These parents would rather attack one another rather than having a productive discussion. The OP never mentioned Lafayette yet Lafayette parents jump in to attack them and threaten their children with a lack of play dates. It was a pretty simple question that Lafayette parents derailed immediately. Sounds like Lafayette is the only school disregarding science if the immediate assumption is that the question relates to Lafayette and no one else has said that their school is doing the same. That’s the answer.

Millions of Americans are okay with letting the pandemic run out of control by not listening to the CDC. Just because “hundreds” of Lafayette parents have drunk the Trunp-era kook aid that we don’t need to take sensible measures allow schools to open safely don’t mean it’s safe or advisable. Dr. Fauci doesn’t think it is and he has more credibility than an anonymous message board full of wealthy white patents.

Never change, Lafayette! Always an amusing time.

No, it’s that a small minority have drunk the “kook aid” and believe that nothing is safe, and you are hurting the kids who need to be back and whose families don’t share the same risk aversions you do. Stay virtual, problem solved.

This.

One crazy Mom can ruin IPL for an entire school?!? The fate of hundreds of families rests with this one person? That’s a lot of power. No wonder you are so upset that you would take it out on her children. It sounds like you are the one not thinking rationally.

Also, the one crazy Mom isn’t crowd sourcing evidence. The CDC has evidence and has shared it with all of us. You misunderstood the question.

At least one DCPS is starting Term 4 without following CDC guidelines and requiring eating in classrooms (obviously unmasked) with only 3' distance and for longer than 15 minutes. DCPS has given schools the discretion to do this but also the discretion to follow CDC guidelines even if it means fewer students can return in-person.


I am aware of the arguments on both sides of the issue and understand that people feel strongly about whether this should be permitted or not or whether the CDC is credible or not and whether it's worth the risk or not. I am not interested in comments about whether you think this is a good or bad thing or in starting another thread debating the issue but am curious if other schools are doing the same. In all of the talk about this I have not yet seen a comment about any other school (public, private or charter) that is not following CDC guidelines so I wonder if this is a unique decision or if other schools are following suit.

Give it a rest. If you don’t like the Lafayette IPL plan, stay at home. You do you.

There is no "you do you" during a pandemic. Your selfish demands affect others in the community, inside and outside the school.

Grow up.

Yep. This is that serious. Kids should know their parents are self absorbed jerks. There are so many kids that are literally melting down from DL, and this is the ticket out. Families that are not comfortable have an option that is being tailored to them. There is clearly a small and active group of parents who I'm sure are complaining to Dr Bs superiors and will ruin this for everyone. Were you on the parent huddle when this was announced? The one mom was clearly unhinged and unbelievably selfish.

The people who threw hissy fits demanding in person at all costs are the self-absorbed jerks. Pot, kettle.

I’m now hoping it’s shut down ASAP to piss you off.

I wonder if the principal did this to have doh shut them down so it’s not their fault

Back to the original question, no one else has said that their school is disregarding CDC guidelines to open. Obviously that’s not definitive but it’s telling.
