Most interesting is this:

"Approximately half of the district’s 3,000 employees have responded to a survey asking for their comments, and 78 percent of the respondents have indicated a willingness to return to school, he said"

So 78 percent of staff there are willing to go back to school, compared to only 25% of MCPS staff. [/quote]

Wow, that’s interesting.

Why such a difference, I wonder.  Why are teachers more willing to go back to workin WV versus here in MCPS?

Does WV also have a female, Democrat governor?[/quote]

Many differences.  Totally different experience of the virus there.  Very little of it.  In contrast, we have had a number of parents of MCPS students die of COVID.  It’s been much more intense here.  Also, our schools are bigger and more overcrowded, increasing risk, particularly in older, poorly ventilated buildings.  I think it may feel much scarier here to understand how you would be protected.[/quote]
