[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Studies show it is about 1) politics (bluer voters means more likely to stay closed, but NYC and others can make an exception) and 2) power of the teacher’s unions.

In FCPS’s specific case the school board being utter novices has to be a factor.[/quote]

How do you figure that blue states being cautious is politics and red states is not?

Also, how do you figure the problem is unions when FCPS is closed and NYC is open? [/quote]

Fwiw, I have always blamed the FCPS school board for not reopening. They are not qualified to make the appropriate risk / benefit analysis needed to reopen schools. They are looking at absolute corona risk only while ignoring other real risks associated with full time DL for all for going on a year. Northam says schools can open. These real politicians have more experience making risk / benefit analyses - and I argue Dr. Gloria does too. In NYC we have the more seasoned mayor making the decision while in FCPS we only have first time elected people with no experience making this type of real risk / benefit determinations doing it and in my opinion their are erring in their assessment.
