[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15% of open DCPS classrooms have covid per DCPS' Ferabee.  So yeah happy to turn down a spot.  DCPS hasn't figured out how to bring us back safely[/quote]

This sure is a misleading way to state it, making it sound as if the whole classroom is affected, when it’s probably isolated cases in 15% of the classrooms.[/quote]

If its one classroom from one person it can a) spread and b) the classroom has to shut down and everyone needs to quarantine.

BTW this is how the Chancellor said it so......[/quote]

Right. But really all this shows us is there’s tons of COVID going undetected. Classrooms full of kids purposely selected for need in DC should be expected to have at least average community rates of COVID. 15% of classrooms... which could be 2 or 3% of students... is not surprising at all.[/quote]

It's 10 percent of the adults in schools.

And the CARE classrooms are not based on need all over the city.  We have housing insecure and very poor kids not in CARES classrooms but rich, white, two parent households sending theirs.[/quote]

Where are you getting the data that it’s 10% of adults? That doesn’t seem accurate. Even if it were, these are adults who volunteered for in class assignments and are therefore likely not either high risk or risk averse; common sense tells you’d they have above average rates. In some ways more importantly, if teachers are getting COVID from other teachers, they are just like every other worker working in person in the city. It’s only if students pose some special/increased risk that the argument we’ve heard from day 1 (those germy kids won’t wear masks and will hug/cough on me) makes any sense. Now we see that that’s not true at all.[/quote]
