[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like they are going to spend the entire year conducting surveys and evaluations, such that a decision will never get made. Sigh.[/quote]

+1.  Lots of surveys but no work on buildings to prepare.  I think it’s just smoke and mirrors. ACPS doesn’t plan to provide in person instruction this year. Makes me want to move to one of the many places schools are open. [/quote]

You mean places like North Carolina?  https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/05/us/school-teacher-covid-death-trnd/index.html[/quote]

“None of the quarantined students have developed any symptoms or tested positive, Bailey said. The health department told the administration it believed Davis did not contract the virus from the school.”

So what’s your point?  [/quote]

That's SO reassuring.   :roll: [/quote]

This certainly had potential to go a very different direction.  If you're okay with your kids attending class with a teacher who had COVID and eventually succumbed to it, then there's really not much for us to discuss[/quote]

Kids are overwhelmingly not getting seriously ill from COVID. So yes I would send mine to school. I currently send them to day care so I can work. ACPS is operating programs for kids that go to title 1 schools out of rev centers. Not sure why they can’t just expand that since it’s going well so far. [/quote]

And what about other people who may come in contact with infected kids?  Who cares? [/quote]

Not that no one cares, but child care has been open throughout the pandemic and schools elsewhere are open.  Places that take precautions (like my kids daycare) can operate without outbreaks. 
 COVID is now with us, so we need to manage and take precautions.  The goal was never to wait until we eradicate the virus (which is never) to open schools.[/quote]

I thought the goal was to buy us as much time as possible to either come up with a vaccine or some effective therapeutic treatment.   [/quote]

I thought the goal was to flatten the curve and not overwhelm the hospitals and then manage with precautions so things can open safely. All of that was achieved and most things are open so schools should open as well. [/quote]

Both were goals, not mutually exclusive.  Open schools and watch infection rates rise.  Maybe you and your family will be okay.  Maybe not.  Maybe you and your family will spread it to someone who spreads it to someone who dies.  How would you feel then?[/quote]
