[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like this in late July are so predictable. People calling for school closures and doom are an extremist minority who are detached from reality. It’s like a cult at this point.[/quote]

Unfortunately there are ALOT of parents and public health official as like this in Montgomery County.  Too many.  And they have very loud voices.  Our kids suffered for two years because of these ‘doom and gloom’ parents/public health officials.

I would hope that we know to ignore them by now, but I am not certain and could see schools having issues with closures due to quarantines, etc.  [/quote]

There’s no regional company on this any more. None of the other school region message boards even have a Covid thread on their first page. Fortunately, we now have a Superintendent that couldn’t care less what the hypochondriacs and shutins think. [/quote]

It’s like you’re not even listening to what the actual problem is. The problem isn’t COVID itself… it’s that with sickness comes a staffing crisis. You cannot have open school buildings without anyone to run the schools. Or you do and you herd 100s of kids into auditoriums in the name of “education” bc many morons here think an open building automatically equals education. It doesn’t. If you actually cared about the education aspect, you’d realize this. Otherwise what you’re really saying is you’re just concerned with free babysitting and using “education” as the guise. [/quote]

But how much is the staffing problem caused by required and extended isolation periods and how much is actual sickness?[/quote]

Exactly!  Remove the testing and extended isolation requirements.[/quote]

+1 million

Remove the overly restrictive testing and extended isolation requirements.  For everyone.  Teacher, staff and students.  [/quote]

This.  Anyone who thinks masking is the key to keeping schools open is delusional (literally, at this point in the pandemic).

There are efforts brewing to advocate for mandatory masking this Fall.  If you disagree, please let Dr. McKnight and the BOE know ASAP.  The prioritization of COVID to the exclusion of all else in MCPS needs to end.[/quote]

If the CDC recommends it you know that MCPS will follow it.[/quote]

True, although I'm not sure the CDC will recommend universal mask mandates in schools at this point.[/quote]

Fauci was just on the news this week talking about masks.

I would hope the CDC doesn’t recommend mask mandates (especially for kids!), but I guess we’ll see.  [/quote]

I’m a teacher and parent. I don’t want a mask mandate. I hated teaching while wearing it. 
However, I also don’t want major disruptions due to large numbers of kids or staff out. So, while I would not be thrilled by a mask mandate, I see it as the lesser inconvenience. [/quote]

Thank you for your service!  Just a thought - why not advocate for no more testing?  If you have a fever stay home.  If not get back.  Who are we protecting at this point?[/quote]
