There is no option to choose virtual anymore. We’re left with home school or in person. But how can we do home school with both parents working.[/quote]

I'm sorry, PP, but that's on you. It would have been prudent for you to choose virtual when that was an option. But you didn't, so now you're stuck with the consequences of your decision.[/quote]

Well the deadline was too early to make a decision. Everything looks very promising in June and vaccine efficacy was reported to be miraculous. Then suddenly in July Israel has outbreaks and breakthrough infections are more and more common. You can’t blame the parents for making decisions based on the situation. Now I just wish MCPS will consider drastically changed situations to accommodate more virtual students.[/quote]

This again.  PP, I'm sorry you were deluded to think Covid was gone, I really do.  There was always going to be a risk that your child would get covid in school- since you can't handle any small uptick in risk, it would have been prudent for you to apply just in case, submitting an application itself was not binding.

Call MCPS- you could always lie and say your kid has a new health issue.  Otherwise buck up and figure it out- we had to provide a lot of support with virtual learning last year, I don't know that homeschooling would have been any more of a time sink.  It would also give you more flexibility.[/quote]

I did apply.  I don't need to lie as it can go by parent health issues, and I have well documented health issues.  Its not a small uptick in risk when they are bring large groups of kids together, no testing or other precautions and kids not vaccinated.  [/quote]

So you’re making excuses for others who were too u decided to apply in time? I’m confused.[/quote]

I had hoped mops would be more responsible with reopening.   [/quote]

Dis you ever stop to think you're looking at it through a different lens because of your health issues?  I mean what else are they supposed to do?  There's no real evidence that hybrid is any safer because kids end up mixing with different groups the rest of the week, and it's logistically challenging for almost everyone involved.  Lose-lose.  It's totally understandable that your risk tolerance is lower [i]given your health issues[/i] and there's an option for your family.  Some districts aren't even offering virtual this year.[/quote]

No, I look at it with my child's safety.  Its really not about my health issues as they aren't going away but i know i don't want to do anything to risk my kids having long term health issues as if you don't have them you really cannot understand it.  I don't get why you'd want to take the risk with your kids long term health?  If my child was able to be vaccinated it might be different but unvaccinated kids in a large group/mixing groups multiple times a day seems like a really bad idea.  MCPS has had a year to make a reopening plan where it would be safe for our unvaccinated kids to return to.  News just announced a large group of unvaccinated kids getting covid at a sleep away camp (though the good news was that the vaccinated kids were ok).  [/quote]
