[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like this are so disheartening.

MCPS will be the last place in the country to go back to normal....if it ever does.

I can't even imagine showing this conversation to my friends and family outside the DMV.  And I'm not even talking about deep red fly-over states.

Just regular places...[/quote]

MCPS is 100% back to normal so what are you talking  about.  There will be no masking, no regular testing, no precautions what so every.  Its disheartening that MCPS and parents don't care about student or family health and safety.[/quote]

Your kids can certainly wear masks if they want, and there is a virtual option available if you are not comfortable with in person, which most districts are no longer offering, FWIW. You could also move to a district that has precautions more to your liking, although I have no idea where that would be. This area still has the highest mask usage of anywhere I’ve been in the last few months.[/quote]

The virtual option has limited space.  [b]There are no districts with precautions or I would consider moving[/b].  [/quote]

The fact that you can't find ONE district with precautions should tell you something.  Do you not see this is a YOU problem? [/quote]

Nope. I see it as a situation in which many other people are going to have regrets that I won’t have.[/quote]

Even if there was masking and basic  precautions with this new variant I would not send my kids in person when they like virtual and do well in it.  And, we enjoy time as  a family.  I would far  more regret sending my kids and one getting really sick when it was unavoidable.  At least we have the stability of daily classes and not have to worry about kids missing a week or two of curriculum as they or a teacher is sick.[/quote]

I mean, that's great, but would you force your kids to stay in virtual if they didn't like it?  You seem to imply that parents who send their kids to school are horrible, irresponsible parents but for you it seems to have been an easy choice because virtual worked well for your kids.  That was not the case for many, many kids, particularly the younger ones.  For ES kids, it's recommended they get no more than 2hrs screen time per day.  I'm not going to just ignore that recommendation to appease my desire to never get sick.[/quote]

I hate to tell you this but when we were in person before covid, kids got way more than two hours of screen time so you are kidding yourself to think in person doesn't have that.  My kids gave me the passwords to all their accounts and some tracked how long they were in each day.

My kids are flexible.  We have always supplemented at home so it is pretty normal around here.  I don't consider school screen time.[/quote]
