Even the nuttiest nutters I know are sending kids back.  [/quote]
My concern is that, since their kids are back, those folks will push for unreasonable measures that are inconsistent with APS providing actual education.[/quote]

"unreasonable measures?"

What do you consider unreasonable?

Not that PP, but--fixating on a certain amount of distance/capacity (6', 3') when we might be seeing a tiny number of COVID cases by then.  I expect most MS and HS kids to be vaccinated by the start of the next school year, but I also think people will push to mandate that kids get vaccinated which I think is a bad call.  (If we're heading in that direction--we should start by mandating that teachers get flu shots!!!!  There is WAY more data around this and it would benefit the kids!)  I also think a subset of APS parents are letting the perfect be the enemy of the good by obsessing over stuff like outdoor lunches, HVAC, and such.  They have made some tweaks and improvements--I would prefer that they ALWAYS allow older kids some flexibility around where they choose to eat--but I think it's overkill to spend the next 4 months harping on the same stuff.  Use that energy to do vaccine outreach![/quote]
My elementary school originally said that there would be no written work done on in person days (it would still be all on the ipad) due to the need to avoid touching contaminated surfaces/disinfecting.  They walked that back -- in fact my youngest doesn't even use her ipad on in person days -- but that would be unreasonable and inconsistent with providing education.  Masks, reasonable distancing during lunch, etc, all sounds good to me.  [/quote]
