Jesus H. The power of denial. So strong.

school closure last year was a mistake. A huge mistake. And most everyone is starting to realize that it did almost nothing to stop the spread and came at an enormous cost to students.

I know its hard to admit that you were wrong. But you were. very very wrong.

Those that wanted to open in Sept 2020 were right. And their predictions about learning loss, mental health, development, etc all, sadly, came true

The lockdowners will never admit they were wrong. That would mean coming to terms with harming 160,000 kids for no reason.

It's a really dumb debate and has been oversimplified horribly. In places that provided real mitigations, schools could have opened sooner, no question. In places that did hardly any, harm was done. Time to use our lessons learned and move forward and insist on keeping schools open the right way.

There was supposed to be bodies in the hallway this fall. And the district was to be closed within a few weeks because of Delta. They quickly dropped that particular line of attack since it didn't pan out. At least they have their new champion in Omicron for a while.

You make a good point.

But here, in MoCo, almost nobody was advocating to just throw the doors open. Almost everyone, including the organized groups, wanted it open, with mitigations.

But they were all accused of being "teacher-killers" or wanting "dead children in the hallways"

It was near impossible to have the conversation about how to open because those want to say remote refused to come to the conversation in good faith.

We have very little in terms of mitigation except masking, which is inconsistent in school.

I don't get why you are debating this. Any of us who didn't feel safe to return, choose to remain in virtual. Simple. You are creating problems that aren't there. If cases go up, there is little testing, so MCPS will not know and not close. So, move on already.

One reason our numbers were lower was because schools were not in person.

We've had a few staff die last year and this year, but they haven't said why at our school for the most recent death.

If it were really true that MCPS wasn't doing any mitigations, that would simply even more strongly suggest covid isn't a concern in schools.

Though in reality, MCPS has been aggressively enforcing quarantine requirements, implementing cohorting to varying degrees, and coercively enrolling students in surveillance testing.

I know you need to constantly work at convincing yourself that in-person school is dangerous to justify the harm you're doing to your children, but you should at least get your facts straight.

No the difference is most adults and older students are vaccinated.

My child are harmed by people like you who don’t take Covid seriously.

Considering no one in my family has had covid, I don't see how you could possibly suggest I've done anything to harm your kids. That's all on you. Get them vaccinated and get yourself boosted.

Right as it’s just as simple as vaccines.

A child at my daughter's HS, Poolesville, was bragging about having covid for a week and still being in school. Kids told the principal but it was too late. Lots of kids are falling sick, including my whole family due to exposure to my daughter. Because of this, my youngest, who was supposed to get her covid shot, instead got a PCR test. I have violent gastro issues like the stomach bug but it is covid. Now, my class is quarantined until I test negative. I am pissed!!! What parent allows their kid to do this????

Thanks for sharing it. We all need to take covid seriously.

So did your daughter get covid? Or a presumed case based on symptoms?

It’s a brand new vaccine and the safety for kids has not really been determined yet. Once all of you get your kids vaccinated so you can resume your risky behavior, there will be more data for the rest of us. Thanks!!
