They won’t allow it.

They really should. It’s not like lots of kids will switch. BTW, it is better to have less crowded in-person classrooms anyway.

It looks like the cases in MCPS are increasing rapidly. This is scary.

I really think its time to come to grips with the reality that you will get it and you will likely be fine. Maybe it won’t be so scary when you realize how not a big deal it is for most people

Disagree! You can get it if you want but I think it's time for some good old DL.

If you really think you’re going to live life without ever getting covid, you’re delusional

Probably we will all get it but we have people like you to thank who are responsible for spreading it. It seems really unfair of those of us not traveling, not socializing in big groups, not dining out or traveling to have to get it from someone like you who cannot even keep their sick kid home. We are one of the most vaccinated countries and one of the highest rates of covid. That speaks volumes.

My entire family is triple vaxxed. I’m just tired of martyrs like you who think if only we just paused life for a week, a month, a year this thing is going to disappear. It won’t. We need to finally have a conversation about how we live with it and a large part of that is acknowledging that isn’t fatal or even serious for the vast majority of people who get it

We need to take precautions for a good year or two. Is it really that hard for you? It is fatal to many. It is serious to many. And, triple vaccinated means nothing and kids cannot be triple vaccinated except if you are lying to get the shots. And, now standard sounds like 4 shots. Maybe it is time to rethink that if everyone is vaccinated that is enough strategy as its not working.

They barely scraped enough teachers at the beginning of the year. Not sure where they’d find more now. You can’t start yanking them from in-person in the middle of the semester.

Good luck with that.

I understand private schools are looking for students. At least the ones that haven't gone virtual.

Which private schools have gone virtual in the DMV? Besides Georgetown Prep with their boarding outbreak, that is. .

Many reachers would rather teach virtually. That shouldn’t be the problem.

It's so insane to think vaccinated people would give up any more of their lives or their children's development to help unvaccinated people.

But in MCPS there is clear community spread already. So we are in a sort of worse situation. Re. omicron, if it gets to MCPS, does anyone think the current sloppy half-hearted mitigation procedures are going to keep the schools open?

Yes

Yeah, me too.

Well, it was a problem in August. I can’t see them pulling teachers from the classroom mid-semester, and having to re-group everything with the remaining teachers. It would be a nightmare, logistically and academically.

What is going to happen now with the influx of newly vaccinated kids into the classrooms? Just crowd them in? This was the plan the entire time. Set up the virtual Academy for children who weren’t vaccinated or comfortable going into the classroom. We are now three weeks in post 5 to 11 vaccine and those kids will start moving back into the main stream classrooms.

For this lovely group, please explain what happens after "a good year or two" does covid just magically go poof?

They've been in the classrooms, unvaccinated. Now they'll be in the classrooms, vaccinated.

If by "many" you mean a handful, then sure. I, along with most of my colleagues, despised it. Only concurrent was worse.
