[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to be [i]that person[/i], but if DCPS had chosen to be virtual the first week back (like many many people advocated for), kids would have gotten 5 days of instruction. Which appears to be better than this mess of a week we were left with. [/quote]

Disagree. I'd rather have no school and do things with my kids on my own schedule than useless virtual instruction.[/quote]

Don't you think the whole rapid test to return plan has turned out to be a complete waste of time and money? The results are now null and void.[/quote]

It depends on what you think the test-to-return was about.  You could start with zero positives in school on Monday morning and have positives Monday night.  (also it's not like kids go to school and then go home and stay in ziplocked bubbles)  Zero covid isn't possible and people should stop pretending that any testing regime is going to get your there.

The testing protocol even this week, for a start on Monday, was useful in the sense that it did 1) show that widescale testing can happen, 2) pointed out some issues with it, 3) showed that the positivity rate wasn't nearly what some predicted it would be, 4) did identify like 2,000 cases that can now be quarantined this week and not potentially infect others in school next week.[/quote]
