[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one can confirm anything because details have not been released and knowing MCPS, I imagine there is no implementation plan yet. [/quote]

Honestly, this is what annoys me the most about all of this. They had 18 MONTHS to figure this out, and release a half baked plan one week into school with no idea how they are going to implement it.  The incompetence is really unbelievable at this point.[/quote]

Were you expecting something different?  They don't want to know the spread or they'd have to close down schools.  The best way to keep them open is to pretend there is no covid/spread.  Our school said they will start testing when they get the tests but haven't gotten them yet.  Parents need to test their own kids.

They also changed the dashboard to hide all the summer covid positives.  [/quote]

If they wanted to pretend there was no spread than why are they sending entire classes home?  It seems to me like they are overestimating the potential spread.[/quote]

That's just a BS line from the keep schools closed forever crowd. Testing has never been a priority in our national plan, and MCPS is no different. However, there absolutely should have been a plan to test symptomatic kids and to test close contacts with rapid tests to allow them to continue coming to school. [/quote]

There are only about 3-4K kids in virtual academy so stop making up non-sense when MCPS has made provisions for families whose kids do better in virtual or want a safer environment.  Testing is a recommendation in keeping kids safe given how large our schools are.  Given its opt-in and many families are refusing, it just speaks volumes to those families behavior that puts all our kids at risk.  If you are behaving appropriately, you'd support testing and have no issue with it as you'd want to keep all kids safe.  So, the only way to do it now is to pretend there is no spread.  The way to say no spread is no testing.  Many families will not take their kids to test so no covid.  And, if your kids get covid, oh well... right, its only the sniffles anyway.  Although the parents of the dead kids all over the world might tell you differently or the parents of kids who have long term health issues.  [/quote]

Yawn. Don't you ever get tired of saying the same thing over and over again? Step away from your job at the troll farm and work on improving your English. You will be more effective in spreading your fear and misinformation if you improve your writing skills. Aim higher.[/quote]

It's not "misinformation," you willfully ignorant denialist. NP[/quote]
