If it gets bad, most people will want virtual school. This was always the most popular position for parents and teachers. Only a minority of very vocal crazies stamped their feet and demanded in-person schooling.

God youre privileged. Distance learning was an abject failure for poor and underprivileged kids. Not everyone has access to nannies and pods or whatever

Funny then how the privileged were the ones screaming for in person school!

Both sides of the open school debate roll out the "poor, poor minorities" when it suits their argument. We can speak for themselves and want to be left out of white people's fights. In actuality, we as a group didn't agree ourselves and there were many who chose school and distance learning.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

"The problem with remote school is that children learn vastly less than they do in person, according to a wide range of data about the past year and a half.

Rand Corporation, a research group, found that students attending remote classes learned less English, math and science than students attending in-person school.

An analysis by Opportunity Insights, a group based at Harvard, found that student achievement lagged with remote learning — and lagged the most for lower-income students.

A study in the Netherlands found that “students made little or no progress while learning from home.”

Individual teachers also say they notice the difference. As Meghan Hatch-Geary, a decorated high school English teacher in Connecticut, told Education Week, her students who struggled the most last year were those who remained fully remote."

This is so true. Last fall APS parents kept screaming about how minorities and the economically disadvantaged desperately needed schools to be open for child care. When the data came in about which families chose to start hybrid part way through the year vs. stay virtual it showed the vast majority of those choosing hybrid were in North Arlington. In our South Arlington school anyone who wanted to do hybrid ended up being able to do it because there wasn't a ton of demand.

Dr. Fauci sees 100,000 to 200,000 daily cases on the horizon. No way nova school districts aren’t going back to DL, at least for elementary schools until <12 vaccine is readily available. And yes, the state can modify its 5-days law very quickly. (No idea if such a law actually exists; others have suggested it does).

If all APS schools revert to DL I'm definitely going to want my kid to participate in at least the Spanish classes at their immersion school. Just saying.

Fear porn, scare mongering. Is that you again, supposed ventilation expert/actual stationery saleswoman?

The science has been clear since last year that healthy kids are at less risk with COVID than the fl. We have 3 vaccines out for adults. Schools operated safely throughout the US and world all last year. They're not closing this year (and that law is SB1303).

The same people peddling this crap here are the same Arlington people who were doing it last year. History and science has proven them dead wrong, and the damage they did to our kids is unbelievable. IF YOU'RE SCARED OF RISKS LESS THAN THE FLU, THEN KEEP YOUR OWN KIDS HOME.

You're making predictions involving a law that you don't even know if it exists (let alone the language of)? And then you think a government can modify a law very quickly? Do you feel that people are taking your prediction seriously?

You mean the law that Northam spoke about yesterday in his press conference?

People can take it however they want. I assume that planning allows for considering new CDC guidance. If Fauci is right about numbers, it’s gonna be a whole new ballgame.

But what would the numbers look like regionally?

We have a high vaccination rate here - unlike the jacka$$es in FL and TX.

The PP’s ignorant fearmongering sounds more like the RWNJs stirring up trouble.

Assume what you want, but the text of the law is there if you want to read it. I can assume that I can do 90 MPH on the beltway if there aren't many cars are around, but I'll be wrong.

Not sure I understand what you’re struggling to say. You’re confusing two things. A car can travel at that rate of speed without other vehicles in its way. You seem to be saying that it would be in violation of the law setting the speed limit.

Well, I saw some evidence today that delta may have already peaked in some southern states.
