Yes, crazy want their children to go to school. Insane!

My 7th grader was in tears at the thought of having to go virtual last night. Virtual school is really tough on MS aged girls. This age is all about friends and socializing!

Are you kidding me? Get a grip! Organize a play date, outing, or event for your child to meet friends and socialize.

For one day? Isn't school out tomorrow?

It’s a day, if it becomes more than 2 weeks then complain.

It is stunning how many people are suggesting it's reckless from a health perspective to send kids to school, even if they are vaccinated and serious complications among children are vanishingly small, and somehow the very clear behavioral health crisis among young people is no big deal.

Are kids at school by themselves? There are adults at school too. Also, your asymptomatic child can spread it to others in the community. Older people and unvaccinated people can then get very sick. Maybe you don’t care but this places extra stress on hospitals and medical staff. Why is it impossible for you to look at the big picture. Also, the more covid spreads, the greater the chance of another random mutation popping up. No one wants kids out of school but some of you parents lack common sense and a basic understanding of how public health works

I work in health care, but thanks for playing.

Health care has both spent a ton of money on things like travel nurses to make up for staffing shortages, and cancelled a ton on in person things due to staffing shortages. Someone in health care should understand better than anyone else that if you implement policies that don't let people come to work with covid symptoms, combined with huge delays in testing and a surging virus you're going to have shortages.

Even more shocking that you don’t grasp the basics of public health policy. I will repeat that no one wants kids to miss school. I very much doubt virtual school would last longer than 2-3 weeks. My kid hated virtual school last year but let’s calm down and be a tiny bit adaptable. Teachers and administrators cannot do a good job educating our kids when they are stretched so thin. Give them grace and support! We are all in this together

After his homeroom class, they went to a different classroom (not one of his regular classes) and hung out there for the rest of the day (with a break for lunch). No lessons, no teaching, no asynchronous learning on devices. If we had known this in advance, we would have kept him home too.

My 8th grader reported about the same. At some point they were supposed to watch a movie but that didn't materialize though he did say the 6th graders had to "do real school" so who knows what the truth is.

My 6th grader said she had 29 students only on her team. Reported lots of movie watching and one teacher ordered pizza for them and took them outside.

DP here but you don't get it. These kids suffered so much by going virtual before that the thought of it happening again is causing emotional harm. I can't even imagine how those abandoned 7th graders must have felt yesterday.

Any teacher, parent, or bureaucrat who says virtual learning will be "just a few days" or weeks should not be listened to. The last time we heard that was March 2020. "A few weeks" turned into 17 months. The incompetence of DCPS and the WTU's total disregard for students has destroyed their credibility, probably forever. We all rightly have our guard up immediately at even the slightest hint of a return to virtual learning.

My point is I don’t even know who you’re fighting anymore. Teachers don’t want long term virtual. It’s awful and would be a huge pain to have to shift everything again, especially since most canvas pages got jacked up over the summer. Most of the families I speak with are reasonable and understand that we all want to stay in person as well. The most extreme of the WTU members are even asking for two weeks max (which I think is too much). You’re riling yourselves up to fight a bogeyman
