[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell’s outbreak before the break likely started with the boys and girls basketball games. The Friday boys game at maret was packed, mostly massless affair and the weekend girls basketball tournament had kids and fans from all over the country. Many players tested positive afterwards

If Sidwell is even considering going virtual they should first cancel all indoor winter sports. Academics must be the priority, even though at Sidwell they are increasingly not[/quote]

Sidwell has the best girls basketball team in the country. That's an important thing. The kids shouldn't have to keep paying the price. Their academics, their extracurriculars, their friendships--all of that matters. The grownups need to do their part. Wear masks. Get vaccinated. Stop having*their* parties.

And to the sub-Saharan Africa pp: be quiet with your what-about-know-it-all-ism. We're all well aware that vaccination has to be a global effort. That fact changes absolutely nothing about the reality that Americans who have easy access to vaccines need to get them, and that their failure to do so, here in America, threatens American hospitals and by extension American school openings.

More important than in-person school for all the students?  How many kids on that team? Ten? 15? And now the entire school goes virtual because of a game? Seems that extracurriculars matter more than academics.

Is Sidwell a school or a ball club?

After the break, let the teams practice and play.  No fans.[/quote]

the outbreak before the break was more likely due to specific larger gatherings in basements, one in the sophomore class and one in the junior class.[/quote]
