Im just curious as to what some of you would have done differently? I mean going virtual was the only option at a time. [b]Our kids are alive. [/b]Not saying they didn’t pay a price, of course, but what’s here is here .[/quote]

No.  Actually, it’s possible we lost more kids due to school buildings being shut down from the pandemic.  There has been a huge increase in mental health issues and suicides amongst kids since Covid began.

Zero kids age 0-17 have died of Covid in Montgomery County as a result of Covid.  ZERO.  That was with schools open/schools closed, prior to the Covid shot/after the Covid shot.

We did not ‘save kids’ lives’ by keeping schools closed.  Not at all.

Agree with the second poster. [b] Some people cannot face what a wrong headed decision this was.  Private schools were open.  Public schools in red-leaning areas were open.  [/b]Schools in other countries were open.  C'mon, it's 2022, we can open our eyes and admit that we absolutely failed the kids.[/quote]

Yes to this.  Admit it was a mistake and let’s try to fix it.

[b]The death rate of teachers in FLA does not point to it being “a mistake”.[/b]

What it was was a terrible situation .. a pandemic, that has caused setbacks everywhere in the US.

Btw 68% of students are at or above the national standard, there are 10-20% that will always be below so we really need to help the other 20%.[/quote]

Not to minimize death, but where are you getting your statistics? I found this report about the deaths of Florida educators in the 2020-21 school year.

[url]https://feaweb.org/covid19/fea-safe-schools-report/[/url]

It mentions 46 deaths of educators, including teachers, bus drivers, custodians, etc. If you look at the articles, some of them mention contracting COVID outside of school while on vacation or break.

In addition, schools here would never have opened without masks, as was the case in  Florida. [/quote]

So your theory is that more teachers in FLA got COVID from vacation?  :?

You can google it and get the raw data instead a processed version from “the state of FLA”? Lol[/quote]

DP.  Ok, so in FL, what was the Covid rate among teachers vs. the general population?  Because unless you were living under a rock, lots of things were different in FL, not just schools being open.  You don't have to go on vacation to get Covid.  [/quote]

Teachers died in FLA at an alarming rate vs area that did not have schools open.[/quote]

That is complete false.  Which ‘area’ are you comparing Florida to?  NYC?

Please post a legitimate link to back up your bogus claim.  [/quote]

Maryland and Virginia [/quote]

Where is the link showing the data?  Please do post one.  [/quote]
