Exactly! Remove the testing and extended isolation requirements. |
This is interesting that you think MOCO parents are not in touch with the rest of the world because we are not serious enough about mitigation?! I would say the opposite. The rest of the country outside of LA and littles in NY have been living mask free the whole time! |
+1 million Remove the overly restrictive testing and extended isolation requirements. For everyone. Teacher, staff and students. |
If you could read, you'd see I posted NOTHING about mitigation or even COVID. I was talking strictly about the rest of the country offering virtual options for years pre-pandemic. Parents here seem to equate virtual learning with bad parenting and it's laughable how behind the times that thinking is. |
It's amazing. It's like you still aren't listening. Not shocking. Who said anything about shutting down? No where in that post did it mention that. All it said was parents wrongly equate open buildings with education. Do you actually think kids were learning in January when they were stuffed into auditoriums with teachers who didn't teach their content? If you do, you're not very smart. Schools will continue like this in the fall due to staffing shortages and parents wont care because their kids are in school. That is fine but stop pretending it's about education because it obviously is not. It's about babysitting. |
I disagree. Virtual is an option of course as is home schooling. Should not be something that comes out of a public school budget. |
The PP literally said you can’t have open schools without anyone to run them. You’re so busy shouting/whining, you’re not even reading yourself. |
Ok wait - so are you the same poster that is simply advocating for a virtual option indefinitely? Kids being in auditoriums etc may not be learning content out of a book or from a teacher but at least in that moment they are being social with their peers. That has to be worth something right?! |
There hasnt been a single post here advocating for virtual indefinitely. READING COMPREHENSION MATTERS. I posted that virtual has existed for longer than the pandemic and parents in MoCo are out of touch because they equate bad parenting with virtual school. How is that advocating for "indefinite virtual." It's pointing out that having kids in school virtually doesnt make other people bad parents. |
Not the pp, but who is shouting? Seems like the only person upset is you. You're just blinded by your rage that all you read when you read anything critical about staff shortages is "THEY WANT VIRTUAL BACK FOR THE REST OF TIME!" The hysterics of it all. |
Are you the poster who doesn’t understand what “you can’t have open schools…” means or was that another poster’s reading comprehension issue? |
You struggle with reading comprehension as well? No wonder virtual was such a disaster. |
This. Anyone who thinks masking is the key to keeping schools open is delusional (literally, at this point in the pandemic). There are efforts brewing to advocate for mandatory masking this Fall. If you disagree, please let Dr. McKnight and the BOE know ASAP. The prioritization of COVID to the exclusion of all else in MCPS needs to end. |
You should try allowing your children to socialize with others in a normal environment, not raise them as if they are too delicate for this world. It won’t end well… |
For those families, kids aren’t eligible for parole until 18. |
