Anyone else think schools will be virtual after Winter Break?

Since most professional parents are still working from home, they'll have no problem slipping away to protest others not working in close quarters with students. Hilarious.

Yes this is what I'm hearing from parents. The kids need to be put first now. We had a year of them taking the backseat. They need to be the priority.

Seems like keeping them from getting the worst yet strain on this virus is putting them first, but wouldn’t want to interrupt Mommy’s Wine & Yoga Time.

Omicron is a lot less serious you Moron.

BVR just announced Jan 4 return but only for those who PCR test on the weekend or Monday 1/3. Campus testing on Monday 1/3 for parents who opt to wait but if results not in before Tuesday no entry. Hope things don’t change.

How do you just get over it? School will most likely be virtual for a few weeks in Jan. Maybe not if we are lucky but the writing is on the wall

It shouldn’t be if the hospitals aren’t overfull. And the hospitals shouldn’t be overfull if they stop letting in masses of selfish unvaccinated morons. Sadly, they’re likely to admit masses of selfish unvaccinated morons, overfilling hospitals, and preventing those with illnesses not caused by willful stupidity and selfishness in the face of a highly contagious disease from getting care, therefore messing up schools. Again.

How much will our kids continue to pay for selfishness and stupidity? I don’t know, but I do know that my kids and I have absolutely had it with the self-centered idiocy that’s been running things for nearly a year now.

What a moronic post. I am 10000% pro vax and also 10000% anti hospitals turning away unvaccinated people with covid.

I think that sounds like a good plan, or opening Jan 5 after the tests come back.

Hopefully we will know more in a couple weeks. It could be that something else makes sense. But right now I think asking for testing and vaccines to return and then staying open with rolling closings if a specific situation warrants it (e.g. too many teachers on isolation) makes sense.

And before someone says that I “want” this to go on forever, what I want is for them to find out that all the scientists warning of overwhelmed healthcare are wrong and omicron is so much milder that it is clear we don’t need this, or if that wish doesn’t come true that we realize that schools are important and institute other mitigation practices that decrease community spread. No bars, crowded athletic events, etc . . .

It’s obvious.

Did you see the DC spike in cases? They’ve never had such a phenomenal rise in cases, ever. Hospitalizations will follow.

Not necessarily if this variant is milder, and if they do it will be the unvaccinated

Most professionals I know are going in at least part of the time if not every day.
