[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't think the under 12 vaccine will make much of a difference.  Many parents will decline because the risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk of the virus to most kids.  That's because the risk of the virus to kids is SO FREAKING LOW.

We have to stop thinking of the under 12 vaccine as some sort of game changer.  [/quote]

Exactly. It might calm some anxiety but the adult vax rate is what will get us out of this mess or keep things going.

And, schools across the country were open for much, if not all, of last year. If you want your kids to stay home, it's time to consider finding an alternative to traditional public school. What happened last year was a travesty. Remote education is remotely education, at best.[/quote]

+1, I'm a teacher. If you keep your child home, you need to find a way to make sure they are being properly educated because it was not happening through what DCPS provided remotely last year. Based on last year, I expect that at least half of my kids will be on or above grade level (based on the home support they received + all the benefits of being UMC) and the other half will vary but the gap with those furthest behind will be obvious and very wide. And since DCPS is all about acceleration we will just keep pushing forward. I sent 3 4th graders to 5th grade with 2nd grade reading levels.[/quote]
