[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are so many of you fighting to keep status quo? Supposedly to avoid learning loss, right? But do you really think they’re learning much with constant quarantines and teachers out?

I cannot keep doing this back and forth with kids back for a day then out for a week because of exposure of insufficient number healthy teachers. This is not working because there’s too much COVID going on right now.

We know this surge will go away faster than others. I wish cooler heads could prevail and realize it would be easier and more sustainable to go virtual for two weeks with economic support for families (and coupled with the limitations on public gatherings and two week pause on bars/in person dining that Bowser is too chicken sh*t to reactivate) than this hellscape. This path will just make it linger longer.[/quote]

You know it won't be two weeks.  It's entirely disingenuous to claim it would be.

I think people get that this is rough all around -- in and out of school, staff shortages, etc..  But the baseline should be in-person school.  Let's pretend it'll be done in two weeks.

My kid has missed a single day of school bc of being a close contact (it was right before the break, plus kid was just inside the "full immunity" window for vax).  My uncertainty about school is largely driven by DC Council trying to mess with public health policy based on no science.[/quote]
