[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not in DC but I follow this because I'm in an area like DC. Obviously the bill is an attempt to move to virtual for months; I can't believe this is even debated. The metrics force essentially permanent closures. It's just so sad to me. If we had been rational about school closures before, we could broach the subject of a month-long shutdown to deal with staffing shortages and a lot of sick people in the community. Not to pretend to stop community spread (closing school won't do that, especially with everything else open). Not to pretend that virtual is education except for a small group of privileged kids. But just for practical reasons (staffing, etc.). But the extended closures were so harmful and so unnecessary that people can't even have the conversation. And rationally so, nobody reasonable would believe this "only two weeks" nonsense. So here we are. It's sad. [/quote] This.[/quote]
