[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted with some concern in the winter, and was roundly mocked on this site.  Our MS does a massive concert at the HS, where people are packing in really tightly into the HS auditorium -- they combine all three grades, and the orchestra and band together, so it is a LOT of kids and families.  I was wishing they would break it up into smaller groupings (by grade, or at least separate band and orchestra), but they didn't.
Meanwhile, just got an email from our ES school that they are mandating quarantine of all kids in our grade who are not vaccinated, due to the high number of cases reported in the last few days.  
I don't want them to cancel events or school, but I always wish there was some way for them to do a little of a middle ground.  Outdoor concerts would be great!  The Pops does it.  Marching bands do it.  They could put the kids on the blacktop and have families bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets like we do for the BTS picnic or outdoor movie nights.  
[b]Even if you think covid is NBD, the quarantine is a major pain.  [/b]People are going to be upset when their kids miss summer camp, or have to delay/cancel summer vacation, or miss final exams or competitions because of COVID quarantines.  Or when their parents have to miss work.[/quote]

This is a problem with the quarantine rules. They need to scale those back also.  [/quote]
