What benefit?

What benefit is there to having commerce and civic activities open? Is that your question? Really?

Exactly! I was told Tyson’s Mall is packed these days.

So if the metrics are good to have literally everything else--including privates!--open, then schools should be open, too.

End of story.

It’s crazy that *everything* else is open - except the SCHOOLS! Insane.

Everyone was patient, tolerant all spring, summer, fall....literally every friend I have with kids out of school had had their breaking point this week or last. Not sure if its post-holiday doldrums, cold weather, lack of vitamin D but literally everyone has HAD IT. Patience is gone. No goodwill or "grace" left.

SB1303 to force in-person school comes up for committee vote again tomorrow. Call the state senators on the health & education committee and tell them to vote yes on referring it to the senate.

Why doesn't this bill clearly say 5 day a week school? Even if they pass the law, FCPS will do the minimum of 2 day hybrid and then say that they meet it.

Lucky you. ACPS will say that since there's childcare happening in school, that counts as "open". Nothing like checking the box.

Yep. This bill doesn't really help anything.

I’m a lazy teacher. I want virtual school for as long as possible. And if you can post vitriol daily even better.
