No, they offered DL for all who applied to VA. Parents screamed they didn't want virtual or hybrid so you got what you asked for. You told parents it had to be in person or deal with it. So, those of us who were uncomfortable with our kids being around yours due to behavior choose VA. Now its time for you to deal with it when your kids get quarantined. Oh well.. It is viable long-term. Many kids are doing virtual long term. It may not be viable for your family as you need free child care but that's a different issue.

How many?

Exactly. And how many are regretting it?

There are about 3200 students in virtual. More applications pending.

We don't regret it.

You don't regret it because you like being a martyr even though it is obvious at this point that school reopening hasnt driven infections in the community and that kids are fine.

We don't regret it.

So about 2% of MCPS students.

I also wonder how this is distributed by age?

But schools are holding up. Not a single person @ school has been seriously ill because of covid.

I agree that schools are holding up just fine, but I don't know how you could possibly say for certain that "not a single person" has been seriously ill. Does this come from MCPS or the health department, or are you just assuming if someone had been, you'd have heard about it?

And probably less than a 1000 actually need to be VA due to serious illness or family member with risk factors or kids with social issues. The rest are just COVID crazies.

Playground name calling. Nice.

No, all kids whose parents choose it need to be there. You are a Covid crazy to demand everyone go in person. You may not care about your kids health but some of us do.

Kids are getting Covid. I am not ok with my family getting Covid. You cannot say all kids will be fine when we have days saying otherwise.

Data. Are the over 500 dead kids in the us fine? How about all the dead kids all over the world?

They don’t have space for more.

This is the end game, of course. Once we get the majority of under-12 kids vaxxed, we'll be there. We still have a transition period to work through.

Then it'll be somewhere between RSV and influenza, and people with preexisting health conditions/immunocompromised will handle covid as they handle those.

Except for the vulnerable- there are tons of people out there who will still die from covid while vaccinated. It’s our duty to protect them.

We have. Schools were closed for 18 months, except for a couple months of a messy hybrid model. Businesses closed, and some went out of businesses. We’ve spent trillions of dollars, not even including the trillions of lost economic output.

With vaccines out, we’ve largely done all we can. Covid isn’t going away, not matter what we do. Vulnerable people need to get vaccinated, and then need to do their own cost-benefit analysis to determine what restrictions and protections are reasonable to subject themselves to for the rest of their lives.

You must not be living in Montgomery County. Schools were closed a month till they got virtual set up. If your kids didn't participate in virtual, that is your failure as a parent but they were offered school. Businesses closed because they wouldn't change their business model to make it safe. Many that were closed were closed as they weren't financially viable long term and just floating by.

We can do far more but people are selfish and only care about themselves. You can still get and spread covid vaccinated. These vaccines alone are not the fix.

Fine. In-person schools were closed. DL-for-all was eventually closed because it was not educationally viable long-term. Covid will always be circulating, so vaccines alone are the fix.

We haven't had to quarantine yet so no worries. It's been nice to be back for four weeks in-person already. You're right about one thing, though. I'm not changing my behavior. We have two soccer games tomorrow and will go out to eat afterward. It's been great having everything get back to normal.

So baselessly cocky. “We haven’t had to quarantine yet.” Don’t worry. You will. Better get to work on a backup babysitting plan!

Schools were not closed for a month. They were closed for two weeks.

??? MCPS was closed a bit more than a couple weeks for in person classes.

And? Once again, “school” is not buildings.

Disappointed that Delta didn’t deliver for you? Lots of posts tonight where your frustration is showing. Anyway, we’re well on our way toward completing week #5. A mask or a Zoom square…give me a mask every time (or 5 days per week that is…)

We don't have enough testing to know the true spread. Most of the positives are due to parents testing. Lets hope it doesn't spread for everyone sake but you need to be prepared to quarantine. Especially when winter hits and more thing go indoors.

My teen and tween are in the Virtual Academy and we're satisfied with our choice. My teen loved his previous high school's teachers, but couldn't stand the noise and crowds of his severely overpopulated building. Now he can focus quietly at home, eats and sleeps better, and has better grades. I hope his AP teachers are up to scratch. My tween misses seeing her friends at school, but there were some course selection issues at her previous school that have been resolved in the Virtual Academy, so she understand the tradeoff - if she can return to her home school and keep her current track, we might make the switch when she receives her Covid vaccines.

It's really nice to be together and eat all meals as a family. Soon they'll leave for college, so I appreciate the time we have together.
