[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all families are in VA for Covid.   Some are, some aren’t.  vA is part of MCPS.  It’s no different from them opening up another in person building.

I am pulling the information from the information we are getting from VA.   If you were involved with VA or even spent a few minutes learning about it you would know it.

[b]If you’d like our kids to return in person for families who choose it due to Covid, what are you willing to do to make it safer for them to return.[/b]

Even if MCPS does away with VA the state is not going to offer one.   How do I know?   Because unlike you, I contacted the state and MCPS to look at all our options prior to getting accepted into VA as a back up plan as we decided as a family our kids were not going in person last fall.   Some of us actually put effort and research into this.  The state of MD approved two programs that are private pay and looked terrible.   Those are the only two options they offered.  There was no live teaching and it was either self taught or videos with periodic check ins.   If you also followed old threads some of us talked about it as we were scrambling on what to do with our kids.   You should research this before you rant and want to shut down VA.

But, again, if you aren’t willing to be part of the solution in keeping kids safe in school, then stop critiquing our choice to keep our kids virtual.  We checked out in person school.  There is no distancing, kids half masked, very limited testing and everything back to normal.   It’s an old building and walking through it I did not see the portable air filters as promised.

Nothing beyond vaccinations. Covid is here to stay, and either you learn to exist out in the real world or you don't. We're looking forward to masks coming off by next school year.[/quote]

Masks can and should stay. [/quote]

Mandatory masks won't stay. They'll finish out this school year with them, but next school year the policy will change. At most, they'll say that unvaccinated students need to mask as an incentive to get vaccinated.[/quote]

Vaccines is your criteria for safe.  Others of us feel differently and because you will not be part of the solution thank goodness MCPS gave us another option.   When you can show me long term studies on the vaccine and that it’s 100% then I’ll agree.  But when you keep need more shots in several months time, it’s not even as effective as the flu vaccine.

This is amazing- so you're arguing we need to keep VA for anti-vax families?!  Someone ought to take a screenshot of this and send to the BOE, lol.[/quote]

Why do you assume we aren't vaccinated?  Is that your only talking point?  Its not about vaccines for us.  Its about school safety.  Our kids are vaccinated to protect them against people like you.  BUT, that doesn't protect them from getting covid at school given that MCPS is not following CDC guidelines.

So, if you want our kids to return, what are you going to do to make it safe for them to return?  We'd love our kids to return. Our kids prefer to stay in virtual though.[/quote]

Lol, I’m a nurse. You got them vaccinated to protect them against people like me at medical appointments? Ok. In your previous post you were arguing the vaccine wasn’t safe for kids.  You’re pretty confusing.[/quote]
