Good. That would in fact be a recognition of respect for the science about children's health: they are extremely low risk for COVID, aren't the cause of significant community transmission, and with vaccination open to anyone age 12 and up, no longer pose a significant threat to adults either. They should have been back in school full time many, many months ago, as they have been in most parts of the country.

What does show a lack of concern for children's education, as well as their emotional, mental, and physical health, are outdated and unscientific policies that would require social distancing or cohort restrictions or half days or COVID-theater "deep cleaning" in the fall -- the very policies the incompetent Bowser, Ferebee, and the teachers unions have embraced for more than a year.[/quote]

Exactly, our little kids sat at home, struggling to learn, for months on end for no good reason.  If we were daunted, you can bet that low-income families had a much harder time. Life is full of risks and we can't eliminate each one of them by hiding at home. Some of our neighbors and friends with kids in private and parochial elementary schools didn't have to supervise virtual learning at all - their kids attended school full-time throughout the pandemic without difficulty, including in smallish classrooms with two dozen kids.  Same story for good friends in Europe. Their children attended government schools in classroom with open windows, and in public parks, even during the worst of the pandemic. Nothing bad happened as a result.
