I'm the PP you replied to, and I don't see the nonsense. I assume there were 2nd and 5th grade siblings that reported being COVID positive. Our 5th grade is tiny and the two 5th grade classes spend half the day together. So maybe 65 kids were quarantined. It's not nonsense, but it ends not just later in the fall, but when cases counts drop farther, probably after a substantial number of kids are vaccinated. Maybe spring or next school year. Or maybe it takes longer to end this sort of quarantine as official policy, but it becomes much less common as kids are vaccinated Etc. |
Positives will never stop. But you keep on waiting… |
What you're describing doesn't even qualify as nonsense. It's jackassery. |
PP, are you growing your own food? If not, why are you harming food producer, grocery store, and delivery driver employees? When are you going to change your behavior? |
Parents NEED to keep their sick kids home. If there is any concern, parents need to get their kids tested. Blame it on the parents with the positive kids and stop complain as you knew this would happen. |
They’re doing nothing to help stop the spread. These are the idiots going on vacations and then demanding schools stay open. |
Yes, we knew that MCPS would be incompetent and handle this poorly. That much should have been obvious from the beginning. |
What are you doing to stop the spread? Have you been outside your house in the last 18 months? Have you lived off grid and stayed self sufficient this entire time? Are you powering your computer right now with solar power? |
The trolls (professional or not) are busy today!

Eh? Things are going well for my kid so far. Major gripes: the bus comes too early, and homecoming will be on the football field. |
To begin with, vaccinated people are EIGHT TIMES less likely to become infected by the coronavirus. |
This pandemic has Raghu us that virtual learning is a valuable tool, and we should be using it. Alas, too many parents ok with their kids getting sick/dying. |
Spread is actually pretty low here, but ok. |
Who's the "we" who should be using Zoom school? And what should "we" be using Zoom school for? |
It's gotten lower since schools open last month. We should have opened up more broadly last school year to help control the spread. |
