By 2022-23 it will be largely back to normal but when you look at the flu stats for this year, it is very obvious we should be masking in winter forever for public health. So much decrease in other viruses due to masking and distance, it’s insane we ever just went around sick and unmasked in flu seasons.

That is what school will look like on a practical level. On a macro level, a lot of good teachers will leave and many who would have been great will never enter after seeing what teachers had to do this year. We will be facing a serious crisis in education. I am worried on behalf of my kids because they have many years of school left and fewer and fewer talented and dedicated teachers will be able to justify staying or ever joining the field. That plus entitled White parents who want to vote to defund schools out of anger and spite mean schools will really face a crisis in the next 5-7 years. The impact of this year will be like a tsunami. Deceptively slow rolling but disastrous in the aftermath

You sounded reasonable until the "entitled white parents" jab.

Agreed. I was feeling this post...then out of nowhere, an unnecessary slap.

It’s not an unnecessary jab. It’s reality. You don’t have to like it.

You do realize that’s who does most of the advocating because poor people tend not to advocate for their own interests and don’t know how to navigate the system. But you can keep throwing disadvantaged kids under the bus as they fall further behind so you can enjoy DL in your pajamas for a virus that’s not dangerous to kids.

Very few people on this forum are advocating for the disadvantaged. They are advocating for themselves.

.

As they should. DL had caused a lot of issues for children and families.

Some of these kids need school and cannot learn online cause they can’t communicate normally. It is amazing how this country is so selfish.

Really? My kids and our family have sacrificed all year even though we are not at risk from
Covid. I don’t think thousands of kids and teachers should have to wear masks all day forever to protect one kid who can’t wear a mask when he personally needs to from possibly getting sick, forever.

It is more than one kid! You don’t know everyone’s health scenario. You are so obtuse!

All over the country kids are back in school part time or full time. Some places don’t require masks. Some places aren’t prioritizing teacher vaccines. Nowhere is planning a hybrid fall like the crazy NEA woman wants.

If anything, local parents have been unbelievably tolerant and patient with the public schools.

They will be if you want them in in person school.

You're not special.

If I don’t believe they are necessary, I’m happy to get an official exemption for them. You do you, though!

Yes. There was an article in the Post about race and return to school. Literally all parents fighting for return to school in the news is white. They haven’t interviewed any minority. Also minorities have chosen DL more than in person.

I think parents have been willing to sacrifice their children’s well being this year to protect teachers but I think the teacher association saying they didn’t want to go back AFTER being vaccinated was the last straw for a lot of formerly-understanding parents.

Families with limited resources HAVE spoken. They are not pushing to go back now. The entitled white people think they speak for them, but they don’t. They are just using them as props. So vile.

I disagree. Parents have been complaining about everything this whole time.

Examples: DL should be for all! We should be able to change our mind! My kid’s teacher is not teaching. My kid is not learning. My kid needs school on Monday. My kid is getting too much work! Teachers should be forced back once they get the vaccine! It is going to snow, give the kids a snow day! We have virtual, they can go to school when it snows! My kid shouldn’t have to wear a mask!

I can keep going...

After a year of kids sacrificing everything for adults, I have no problem speaking up for what MY kids need. Other people can speak to what their family needs. But my expectation that the school system and their teachers and principal would be looking out for their best interests educationally was so
so wrong. They don’t give AF.

If you read this board, the majority of teachers do plan on going back once vaccinated. They should’t go back till they have both doses which what teachers have been pushing.

Why does it matter if they have chosen DL if they are failing in school? Don’t be an apologist.

Are you kidding me? Complaints online? There are parts of the country where parents would have been rioting in the streets if schools were
closed this long. I have family and friends who text me in amazement every time they see FCPS on the news. They can’t believe parents here have been so tolerant.

Parent here. I disagree. The problem with just thinking about your own kid is you are missing a lot of logistical pieces that county has to deal with. WhileDL is not idea, I do not think my kid’s teacher and school does not give AF. They absolutely care about my child. They don’t make the decisions.

Agree. It was unfortunate that the person who claims she speaks for the teachers made such a foolish ask.
