Well how many parents are really going to send their kids in when things go out of control but MCPS still opens no matter what, business at usual? Many parents are going to back down before the state would order MCPS to close.

I am sending my kids every day I am allowed. Just like I did last year (we temp moved in with my sister in Illinois). Every single day. Parents here just need to break the seal on re-entry into the world. In most other places people have masked up and moved on. Covid is officially endemic now.

Of course, in many other places, people didn't wear masks, didn't get vaccinated, moved on, and are now filling up the ICUs...

But we are in Montgomery County, where that did not happen.

There are plenty of affluent educated democratic suburbs that didn’t irreparably damage children, families, and women’ careers last year. I was in one of them outside Chicago. Moco was special. Especially wrong and inept when it came to schools. I know it’s hard to admit you let your kids be harmed but forcing them to do first grade on zoom (does it sound crazy yet? It won’t age well).

You are the one who moved half way across the country so that your progeny wouldn’t be “irreparably damaged”? You should’ve stayed there.

My kids are fine, sorry if that bothers you!

OP, check out this thread. There are models predicting that even with mitigation, a large percentage of kids will get covid in school this year. Don’t wait until there are big numbers, it may be too late by then.

It sounds like you know this, but there is a process by which a disease becomes “officially endemic” and it hasn’t happened…anywhere.

You are the one who sounds like you're living in a fantasy world. The rest of the world (and sane people in this country) absolutely realize COVID is not an endemic. While people are absolutely eager to get on with their lives, they also have the basic critical thinking skills to understand it isn't over. You sound delusional..while being smug...the worst kind of person. Go back to Chicago.

You’re living in a fantasy world if you think it’s going to get much better than this. If you’re not comfortable re-entering society, sit on the sidelines. Nobody cares.

The estimates from Yale are that 33% of Marylanders have already had Covid this year.

Eyeroll at this Everytime it's brought up like some sort of guilt trip.

If the county and state can't factor in that this is a pandemic and be flexible in their staffing and funding formulas, that's just another way in which the system is broken.

So what if your kid gets COVID? Most people will probably get it at some point. Are you going to stay holed up forever?

It’s not about being comfortable re-entering society, you absolute moron. I wouldn’t expect someone with your low level of thinking skills to understand anything other than your extremely limited worldview, so continue on with your ignorant life.

Too bad so sad.
At least they won't have coronavirus

Remember when this when you're whining about crowded classrooms

Except that most likely that is the end game for covid it mutates too much to be eradicated. Expect that we will be getting combo flu/covid shots every year in the near future

Funniest joke of the day. Classes at our school are already over 30 kids. You can only fit so many desks in there before the fire marshal shows up.
Can't really get any less individual attention and feedback then the zero that's already given. There's literally nothing to lose.

Fire marshalls are not going to do anything.
