[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a petition going around to ask st Ann to reconsider its week of virtual learning. They seem to have gone off the deep end and apparently require outdoor masking. [/quote]

Curious as to the reason for the petition?

What is wrong with virtual learning for one week considering the impact Omicron has had on the community in the last 2-3 weeks? Many families have been impacted and many others traveled and are now testing positive.[/quote]

NP.  We are a two parent working household, with demanding (especially in Jan).  It's extremely challenging to work from home with very young children and we are obligated by our companies to either find daycare or take time off.  There was no way to do this with HS kids being in school and therefore unable to babysit and help with virtual classwork.  So now we have to split time off and disappoint our bosses at a time where job security is critical and definitely at risk with one of our employers.

Obviously if there was an actual exposure or our kid (or a classmate) tested positive we would have to do this - but to do it simply because [b]our principal believes he knows better than the rest of the Arch Diocese and public/private schools in our area[/b] is beyond frustrating.  Our kids have remained in school for the entire pandemic, and the protocols have worked.
