[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw this on next door and thought it was a great wrap up. APS is behind 50% of the US and 2/3 of VA districts. Stop acting like we are so special.

Do you mean like Florida and Texas? Places like Pinellas, Miami-Dade, Broward, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, Dallas, Arlington (TX), Austin, Fort Worth, Houston, El Paso, etc?

Both states include high-density districts that have not locked down bars and indoor dining, and yet, their kids are back in school safely and successfully.

There are also places that have locked down, and have their kids back in school. Boston, MA or Bridgeport, CT perhaps?

A number of the lowest density states in the country are in the top 20 states in the country in terms of highest per capital covid death rates. The virus does not discriminate against a child in Arlington vs a child in UT vs a child in TX or FL. We are not special in how the virus attacks our community vs other communities.

There are many high-density districts that are currently back in school 4-5 days per week.

Here is the data as of 4/7 from EducationWeek (edweek.org)...

There seems to be something about this county that attracts extremely risk averse people.  I’m guessing school system thinks it’s just giving the folks what it thinks they want.  It is weird and more than a little sad.[/quote]
