I couldn't agree more and am really disappointed with MCPS and their non-scientific "health metrics" which we will certainly never meet, meaning no in-person school for our kids this year. [/quote]

This isn’t about the kids. This is a workplace safety issue. The sooner you realize that and understand that your feelings as a parent are completely irrelevant, the sooner you will understand the reality of the situation.

Why the hell would a doctor write about schools? Maybe a teacher should write about the medical workplace? [/quote]

Seriously. Unless teachers can be outfitted with covid floor level ppe, no way they should be forced to teach in person.[/quote]

Yet somehow daycare workers and private school teachers and Catholic school teachers and German teachers are teaching in person ... [/quote]

We've discussed the differences between apples and oranges ad nauseum on this board. If your kid pays attention is poorly as you do to the arguments here, it really doesn't matter if they are in school or not.[/quote]

I 100% don't buy it.  The reasons schools are closed here is politics (appease teacher's unions) not science.  As much as you wish there were not thousands of kids in school safely IN THIS AREA as we speak, it's a fact.  It's an extremely persuasive fact that completely undermines you.
