[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t as simple a decision as many are making it seem. While most of you are the lucky ones with “typical” children that you want back in school, MCPS serves every child and has a number of programs serving special education students who are some of our most vulnerable. I work in a program where 6 of our students are not able to bathroom themselves- the staff changes them 2-3 times a day at minimum. 2 have feeding tubes. 5 drool. 0 are able to cover their sneezes/coughs. While a few families will make the difficult decision to keep their child home, because Covid may be devastating for them if contracted, others will choose to send their child if school re-opens. The staff working with this population faces a much different situation than a typical classroom. The county has to think about many more individuals than those that are low risk.[/quote]

Interesting that the hospital workers who deal with this situation are still working huh?  And the kids they come in contact with are also ACTUALLY sick-not merely have the potential to be.

But as it's been proven on multiple comments-teachers/other school staff don't believe they should have to be exposed to ANY risk.[/quote]
NP It's a little different because they have PPE (which hopefully teachers will get) and they also are not in the same room for hours, they are in and out over the course of a day. They are talking to them for long periods of time.[/quote]

Not to mention in a setting with strict cleaning and sanitation measures, as directed by experts, which school employees are not.[/quote]
