[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specifically? Let's start with compliance of the schools themselves. DCPS doesn't even have the funds to cover the changes that will need to be implemented going back to school.

Nationwide, it is estimated that we will need between 900 and 2400 per student to provide services and supplies to keep kids safe in school. DCPS only has $400 extra dollars to spend per student on this.

That's just to start. Let's add in all the public transportation students will take to get to school. Let's add in the mixing of teachers, admin and students as kids elope from the classroom and play in the bathroom stalls, fight.

Let's add in the parents that are gonna send their kids in to school sick because they have to go to work....and so much more...[/quote]

So this "parents will send kids to school sick" argument has made in several threads now. Normally I would agree with this but I really don't think working parents would take this chance given the current situation knowing that quite likely the school will find out their kid is sick and was given medicine before school. And if they do this they should have a consequence-maybe a hefty fine that goes directly to the school to help pay for safety measures.[/quote]

Until there’s a harsh consequence, parents will continue to do this. Even with a harsh consequence people will continue to do it. Look at drunk driving. [/quote]

This.

Parents are arguing they should be able to send their kids back in-person MID-PANDEMIC. Of course they'll send their kids sick.  :roll: [/quote]

And trying to get fraudulent mask waivers by coercing pediatricians. [/quote]

This is a thing? Thats sad. Im a proponent of returning to school but studies show if both people wear a mask and practice distancing, risk is very low/ negligible.  I would not feel comfortable without at least attempting mask. [/quote]
