MCPS will now send kids home for ten days based on symptoms only

And then your kids can do distance learning for college and a get a virtual job and never leave the house. And it sounds like the makings of a horror film but whatever it sure it's making you really happy! Congratulations!

Let the normal people have our conversation about how this is going to work

I never said it was superior. It depends on the teacher. We had some pretty crappy years in person with bad teachers. We have flexible kids who are fine in either setting. We also are very involved and support them. You should try being an involved parent. I said it was safer. We will return in person when MCPS can come up with a clear plan to keep kids safe. Clearly parents here aren't willing so if they don't, who will. Its not going to work well and your attitude is to pretend everything is fine and who cares about the spread or if anyone gets sick as long as your needs are met. I feel bad for your kids given how little you care. Many people have virtual jobs. Nothing special about being in an office with a 1-2 hours commute. But, wait, if you were home working, you might have to see your kids every once in a while. Really, given what type of person you are, we get why they need to be out of the house as much as possible.

Gayles is gone. Keep up. Time to blame someone else. Maybe Obama?

gayles is gone on September 12. Per Bethesda Beat this was his guidance.

I figured he left since the policy was more about politics than public health.

He’s been more about politics than public health since the beginning.

Forcing schools closed is bad politics. Not surprising, though. Bad doctor, bad leader...bad politician.

It shouldn't be about politics, it should be about kids safety, their families safety and our communities safety.

How odd that never mentioned education there. Are one of those people that thinks school is just child care?

If I thought school was just child care, why are my kids in virtual academy. No, it should be about safety. Its not, so we choose not to send our kids back as we care about their health, our health and the overall situation. MCPS is not following any best practices beyond masking. No distancing, no testing and they aren't being transparent with notifying of covid positives. If anything he failed us by being so lax on allowing schools to open in full with very large numbers of students.

Just shutup. Every district in the country opened up. Go back to your VA, click some links, and be happy you even have that.

Its truly sad you don't care about anyone, not even your own kids.

I guess in your opinion, the majority of parents in the MoCo (and the US) don't care about their kids because they sent them back to in person school

/Because/ I very much care about my kids, I sent them back. It’s by far the right option, not isolated at home.

Nope, but keep telling yourself that.

I love that people like this VA poster are in the minority this year! Doesn’t it feel great that every single school district in the nation even LA and San Fran and Oregon and NYC have opened for all kids 5 days! It makes me so happy. I feel so validated. The quarantine kinks will get worked out esp once Gayles is gone (nice parting gift bro!) and I think it’s going to be a great year. I really do. Don’t let your kid get too fat and depressed in the VA!

I'm sorry you're so pathetically immature. You sound like a 7th grade girl.

Don't let your kid die of COVID!

EVERY district opened! Nobody is buying your crap any more. It's truly sad how one dimensional you are.

And at least 45 districts have already closed again in Texas alone.

Two Chattanooga area school districts closing all of next week due to COVID-19 cases

Several area districts closed in previous weeks

Maybe they should close bars instead.

At any rate, I did see a few tweets on this policy by one of the moco councilmembers (not favorable). Maybe nothing will change but one can hope.

When all else fails, dig up a Texas story. Those districts opened. They’ll temporarily close, then reopen. If the MCPS clown show attempts a 2020-21 repeat, they’ll be in near exclusive company.

It’s not just Texas. It’s happening all over the US in places people insist on acting like covid is no big deal. Even some FL districts are closing.

And they will reopen. Working as intended. Aside, Delta is starting to peak/post-peak. This is not an event that will carry through the school year.

Stop peddling these stories as if districts just shut down and went to virtual for the year. Because that’s not what is happening.

What the f is wrong with you that you can’t understand that people would come to different conclusions than you because of how much they live and care for their kids and want to keep them safe? I weighed up the risks and decided that for our family the risk of isolation was much more significant for my kids than the risk of being at school. Because I care about them I sent them back. My elementary kid who suffered so badly last year is already back to good old self after only 5 days. It’s amazing and I am delighted to see him so happy.

What are you talking about? Temporarily close and then re-open? That’s how it’s supposed to work. Virtual for the year isn’t happening. MCPS is the only clown show in the US that might toy with the idea. It’s not clear yet that their incompetence runs that deep, though.
