[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The CDC recommends 6 feet for everyone unvaccinated which is all students in school.  Why they make an exception for schools is bizarre.[/b][/quote]

+1  We feel completely the same.[/quote]

Because they have studied the many schools that have been open all year and there is very little community spread.  I have friends with kids that are in school full time with full classes. They wear masks and split the class for lunch/ recess. Otherwise there isn’t really any official distancing. Not a single case spread in the class.

But definitely keep your kids home if that’s what is best for your family. Other families should have the option of full time in person school. [/quote]

No, they shouldn't.  Other families don't have the right to endanger the lives of the teachers who are being told to work in that environment.  Get over your sense of entitlement.  We're parents and we're teaching our kids that they need to be responsible citizens.  Putting the lives of their teachers in danger is not being a responsible citizen.[/quote]

How is it endangering the teachers' lives? Serious question (and new poster). Our ACPS teachers are fully vaccinated and stand in a taped-off box in the front of the room 6 feet from any student.[/quote]

Because the children are unmasked for up to one hour a day (20-30 minutes for breakfast and 20-30 minutes for lunch) in the classrooms.  You don't think that is dangerous to all the kids and the teacher?  [b]We do.[/b]  Again, with the understanding that NO VACCINE is more than 50% effective against all the mutations of the virus and NO vaccine has an efficacy against more than one or two strains, it doesn't seem safe for the teacher.  We're concerned about our kids but I wouldn't want to be a teacher in that classroom, either.  Especially when there is a reasonable alternative.

If they changed the eating, as in no unmasked time in doors and all meals outside of the school time and outside of the school location, then [b]we[/b] would support a RTS wholeheartedly.  As it is being done now, though, no way.[/quote]

You don’t speak for all of us. Frankly, I think you are overreacting.[/quote]
