[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is this how it’s going to go? Every night we sit on pins and needles to see if there is school the next day? Who thought this would be a good idea? [/quote]

Awful system. Terrible leadership. How are parents supposed to operate in this environment? Needing childcare on a day's notice?[/quote]
Yup. Ridiculous and unfathomable that [b]anyone thought this was a good idea.[/b] [/quote]

A lot of posters on DCUM? 
Those who kept spewing "I don't care", "Omicron needs to burn through", "I'm living my life"?

No no no. We want schools open unless there is a reason to close them. So if too many staff are out then you go virtual not for an arbitrary period of time but for as long as necessary. Maybe 2 days. Maybe 10. It would be situation specific. All central office folks are subs. The NYC approach. [/quote]

NYC has a terrible approach. Situation-specific is what's posing problems here. As I said two weeks ago, most families might have preferred to be able to plan ahead, let's say for a two week closure. But there were a heck ton of trolls who kept drowning out the discussion with insults and explanations for why closures would never happen, Omicron was milder than Delta, etc. Graphs were posted about hospitalization trends, data from the UK was shared about how their intense Omicron wave was paralyzing the country (they're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it seems, now!), but precious few were ready to listen, and those people were told to go hide in their basement.

So now MCPS families are in this mess, somewhat of their own making, if you believe that administration responds to population demands, as it surely does.
