[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad we a Republican governor to moderate the crazy school closers in Montgomery County.

+1 million

This is why we need balance in government.  All Dems or all Republican is a recipe for disaster.  Our founding fathers understood this.

Thank goodness we have Hogan.

Virtual learning is only instruction when there is an engaged adult with the student who can help instruct and manage the virtual lessons. It does not work for elementary and middle school kids when there is no in-person support. Virtual learning for special needs kids is beyond pointless.

I can give a specific recipe on a video and even bake the cake at my own house. It doesn’t mean the child can watch it and learn how to bake their own cake without support. Someone needs to help turn the oven on, plug in the mixer and wash the dishes. Did you provide instruction on how to bake a cake? Yes. Was it effective with a child learning how to bake a cake?  That depends on whether a parent is home with the child.  If I have to be home and engaged to support the instruction, I’m homeschooling and teaching how to make lasagna because I hate cake .

Hogan has never wavered. He’s not moving the goal posts like the teachers Union has continued to do through the entire pandemic. 
180 in-person days.

I do jot understand why we are still having this conversation. Covid is not going anywhere. Virtual instruction is ineffective and not shown to lower the spread of covid. Nothing is closed because of omicron. [/quote]

Exactly.  Everything else has remained open.  I can go to bars and restaurants and beauty salons.  Anything and everything.  Yet some people want to shut down schools??  Still?!  Ridiculous.  [/quote]

Yeah. Bars and restaurants and beauty salons are still open. [b]And since most of the people dying on the Frontline workers who work in them, who are faceless and endlessly replaceable, you don't care.[/b]

Again, the chutzpah of the Moco people and the governor saying they are keeping things open for the disadvantaged is just staggering to me. No. [b]We are sending people into their crappy jobs to get sick, get permanently disabled, rack of unpayable medical bills, and die.[/b] [/quote]

This is the kind of stupid thing you can say on a message board and get to walk away. Who is sending them? Who would pay for them to interminably stay home? Covid will continue circulating in every part of the non-Maryland world regardless...so why wouldn't everybody quit, interminably stay home, and get paid? What's your actual plan beyond making stupid posts?[/quote]

Where is the evidence that most of the people dying are frontline workers? According to CDC data, 75 percent of the deaths are ages 65+, and 25 percent are ages 85+. Data from individual states suggests that about half of deaths are linked to nursing homes. This is not exactly the working age population. We should take care to prevent deaths, but this is why people have stopped listening to your side. You just hysterically spew false information. The threads on this board just keep getting more and more desperate as you realize you have lost in the court of science and public opinion.[/quote]
