[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There some people on AEM who seem to think that getting kids back in schools in the fall with no plans for distancing is wildly reckless and will lead to a resurgence of the pandemic. I don’t understand this thinking, given that Arlington and the wider DMV area has extremely high uptake of the vaccine. Kids 12+ will be able to get it very soon. Younger kids will be masked, and for them covid is (extremely) rarely a danger anyway. The adults in the community who want to be will be fully vaccinated by the fall. Do these people think that we should just not take steps to get back to normal? Are we all supposed to pretend that covid has worse outcomes for kids than flu and strep?[/quote]

Exactly. [/quote]

We have to try to get back to normal.  And there are many people suggesting on AEM to use all that office space and community centers for kids.  Besides those not being ideal learning environments, where do they expect to get the staff to teach in all these extra locations? If class sizes have to be reduced so students can spread out, there will need to be more teachers.  There's already a teacher shortage to begin with, so who's going to fill that gap.  And then if they hire people who aren't qualified, AEM will have a field day with that.  [/quote]
