This is a revision of history. Schools were already phasing back students throughout the country long before vaccines were available.

Some, but not most.

No they wouldn't, then never even got close to requiring teachers back in classrooms

That's the point. Just because TX and FL didn't care about teachers before vaccine availability didn't and doesn't justify the same outcome here. APE didn't care then, so it's hard to get over that.

It is. BK ran for CB unsuccessfully. Just because it hasn’t happened recently doesn’t mean it’s not a main driver for some (not all) of the members.

People have lost track of the topic. APE wanted to send teachers back into the classroom before teachers got vaccinated. They can't run away from their past anti-teacher, anti-safety advocacy. They can come up with all sorts of issues to argue for, but they're the wrong messengers.

I wouldn't mind a schools advocate on the County Board. Or two or three!

Exactly. Those barbarian Europeans had kids in class, many unmasked, and we needed schools. By January, even NYC and the entire New York Metro area had their kids back in class, but our School Board stayed strong and ignored the yellers. I'm so proud of our Arlington government for how long we closed schools.

Are you really a teacher? Use some critical thinking, please and stop relying on the TX and FL strawmen, and the whole idea that no one cares about teachers. Plenty of states led by democratic governors, including VA, were creating plans for a return to school that did not involve vaccines. Safety measures were set up. Keep in mind this was before Delta, so it was entirely possible for a safe return, as many other industries proved, including mine.

Stop lying.

Many schools in Europe had distance learning last year as well.

In Jan 2021, 100+ school buildings in NYC were closed due to positive cases. And MSs and HSs buildings weren't even open until Feb/Mar.

NYC ESs reopened in November! APS elementary student attended in-person the equivalent of 12 out of 180 days last year. That's really unbelievable to people elsewhere in the United States (except on the West Coast).

Schools throughout suburban New York City were open all year last year. Check Westchester County and New Jersey. Who are those horrible New York and New Jersey politicians? Were they secretly Republican?

I'd love to see any other European country where little children attended school the equivalent of 12 out of 180 days. If there were closures, they were very short term. Feel free to look it up though.

Yup. Was pretty pissed off at my neighbors who are stay-at-home parents and federal workers that still haven’t gone back in yet, demand that schools open at all costs. After the vaccine, I was down, but they would’ve been responsible for so many people getting CoVID, and probably some dying. Nope. Can’t forget it.

And many schools were still using remote instruction. APS was not an outlier.

Fascinating that the newsletter just . . . stopped. No scoreboard?

So are they going to throw in a last-minute plug for Y man or what?
