[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents should NOT be allowed in the building during Covid. It adds another health of threat to kids and teachers. I think the number of outsiders, non-school staff or visitors, should be very limited and virtually non-existent. There is no reason why a parent needs to be in the building for an IEP or a parent-teacher conference. There also is no reason for a parent to be in the building during the school day while other kids and school staff are there.[/quote]

I am sorry, but two thirds (probably) of teachers, staff and kids at a school of nearly 900 kids have been walking around unmasked, eating lunch together, not spaced out in a crowded cafeteria indoors, with no outbreaks, for months.  But parent teacher conferences, scheduled parent volunteers, Back to School Night, Concerts, annual 504/IEP meetings, field trips, and literally everything else are all online, if they are even happening. We have never been just roaming the halls unfettered before COVID, but blaming this on student safety is BS. And if they really want to protect kids they can do events outdoors, make them hybrid for uncomfortable parents (I mean, your kids are in public school FFS), and require masks for those non-students in attendance (no governor mandate on parents). I just don’t understand why we are still acting like it’s March 2021 just about this one thing. It’s almost like they are afraid of the additional accountability having parents in schools might mean (not me over here not trusting ACPS to do what’s best for kids).[/quote]

Do you not read the news?  Do you not follow the statistics on Covid?

Some of you are pretty unbelievable in your ignorance about the pandemic.  No wonder we're still floundering.[/quote]
