[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sending my kids. I don’t think keeping them home from school will prevent our family from getting omicron. It is everywhere in the community. Unless we literally go nowhere for months, at some point we’ll get it.  We got vaxxed and boosted so we didn’t have to worry about the severe disease from covid. My kids need in person school; it is essential for learning and their mental health.  [/quote]

Your kids mental health will be just fine for two weeks. They are home two months in the summer.[/quote]

[b]Oh my you actually think it will be inly 2 weeks? And then magically they will bring everyone back? We will be virtual till atleast spring.[/b][/quote]

NP.

Do you think you have any influence over this? I mean, you could make a stink and have influence if they do extend virtual past 2-4 weeks, but your argument is what, exactly?

If if MCPS goes to "short-term" virtual now, they will extend virtual for months, but if they [i]don't[/i] go short-term virtual, because parents don't support that, schools will continue in person?

MCPS (or the vast majority of schools) [i]will[/i] go virtual regardless, [b]because case rates are too high and only multiplying exponentially right now[/b].

If 2 weeks or 2 months is bad for the mental health of kids, okay. That's a reasonable argument to make. But virtual will happen regardless-- at least those first 2 weeks. There's no way to prevent those first 2 weeks, based on the numbers we are seeing and the metrics laid out, and just the reality of staffing. [/quote]

Posters almost always mischaracterize growth as exponential. We're not seeing exponential growth in MoCo right now. The growth rate has dropped dramatically and already started to level out. Infection is still happening but not exponentially.[/quote]
