By 2022-23 it will be largely back to normal but when you look at the flu stats for this year, it is very obvious we should be masking in winter forever for public health. So much decrease in other viruses due to masking and distance, it’s insane we ever just went around sick and unmasked in flu seasons.

That is what school will look like on a practical level. On a macro level, a lot of good teachers will leave and many who would have been great will never enter after seeing what teachers had to do this year. We will be facing a serious crisis in education. I am worried on behalf of my kids because they have many years of school left and fewer and fewer talented and dedicated teachers will be able to justify staying or ever joining the field. That plus entitled White parents who want to vote to defund schools out of anger and spite mean schools will really face a crisis in the next 5-7 years. The impact of this year will be like a tsunami. Deceptively slow rolling but disastrous in the aftermath

You sounded reasonable until the "entitled white parents" jab.

Agreed. I was feeling this post...then out of nowhere, an unnecessary slap.

It’s not an unnecessary jab. It’s reality. You don’t have to like it.

You do realize that’s who does most of the advocating because poor people tend not to advocate for their own interests and don’t know how to navigate the system. But you can keep throwing disadvantaged kids under the bus as they fall further behind so you can enjoy DL in your pajamas for a virus that’s not dangerous to kids.

You mean, stay home all year while other people actually had to go in to their jobs? 🙄

No. More like reinventing education with no resources while being accused of being on vacation by SAHMs

Kids who can’t risk catching COVID for medical reasons need to stay home until they can develop a safe vaccine. FCPS has a whole office that deals with kids who are too sick to attend school.

It’s not education. Reinventing google slides, maybe?

It’s ridiculous to force kids to wear stifling and uncomfortable masks as some kind of pandemic virtue signaling once adults are vaccinated. Individuals can always choose to wear them if they want to.

Okay, so kids with high medical needs should be forced into DL cause your child won’t wear a mask? We have SPED kids at our school that cannot mask. Think about others lady!

Yes. If they can’t risk catching common childhood viruses then they should be on home instruction line every other ill
kid every other year.

COVID isn’t a cold lady. In fact, if you watched the news, hospitals are seeing more kids now due to Covid complications more than ever. Your child can wear a freakin mask so ALL kids have the opportunity to go to school.

I disagree with you and so does the data. My kids won’t be wearing masks once it’s no longer necessary. If a child is too medically fragile to catch a childhood virus, she needs to be on homeschool. There are kids in this program every year.

Reinventing education LOLLLLL

I mean, whatever. Public school has been sh*t for a long time now. I’m not sure the kids are learning less during the pandemic. Any learning that occurs is, and has been for a long time, due to parents supplementing heavily at home.

Some of these kids need school and cannot learn online cause they can’t communicate normally. It is amazing how this country is so selfish.

Well if FCPS requires it you will be out of luck lady!

Fall will be 5-days, in person. Masks optional.

Are you the superintendent? Is this your official proclamation? What a joke.

It’s not the entire country but privileged FCPS moms do represent a very specific subset of “DGAF about anyone else but me and mine”

Very few people on this forum are advocating for the disadvantaged. They are advocating for themselves.

Really? My kids and our family have sacrificed all year even though we are not at risk from
Covid. I don’t think thousands of kids and teachers should have to wear masks all day forever to protect one kid who can’t wear a mask when he personally needs to from possibly getting sick, forever.

I know you really wish this was true, but no, it's not.

They will be if you want them in in person school.

You're not special.
