[quote=Anonymous][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?

[b]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.[/b] 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]

Are you imagining this?  I know there have been cases and quarantines, but it’s a smattering compared to DCPS as a whole.  My own kids have missed zero days because of Covid this year, other than the testing days last week.

Keep school open![/quote]

Same here! Also, now that kids are vaccinated, they won't have to quarantine anymore! We dodged quarantines in the fall (were never identified as a close contact), and now that threat is off the table. Our school only had 2% of the staff test positive last week, so I'm hopeful there won't be a deluge the next weeks either.[/quote]
