[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing how different countries have figured out how to have in-person school.

Too bad MCPS couldn’t figure out a better way to educate our children. [/quote]

Key word in your post is "countries". Not small localities. Whole countries made diffficult decisions to our kids and parents first which also helps their economy in the long run. And they had a cohesive and fast federal response and not the US patchwork of rules that aren't even followed most of the time. MCPS and other school systems do not exist in a vacuum and are not responsible for mitigating the risks that the rest of the country ignores. [/quote]

Yup.  That’s true.  I’m posted overseas and worried I made the wrong decision to stay overseas with my family when many of my American counterparts chose to return.  But the country where I am has discipline and schools opened again last week full day in person.  And they spent the last few months really preparing the physical infrastructure and training the teachers about how to manage social distancing, with clear guidance from the health ministry.  I look at the USA and feel terrible for what you are all going through.  It was always going to be painful (I was locked down with my kids for nearly 10 weeks and only allowed to leave to get groceries), but it didn’t have to be as bad as what you have in the US.[/quote]
