I thought maybe you all had slithered back to the Fairfax boards for good.

Taking precautions isn't forever. Remember how sick your families were in December and January? We were fine because we were careful. Once covod had burned through your wretched micoclotting bodies and gone dormant again, we came back to school, masked, and have had a good year.

However, now that cases are going nuts, the question becomes, is it worth taking a week or two at home because mcps will do nothing to stop psychos like your sociopathic children from infecting their classmates and teachers? Quite probably, the answer is yes

Ok you had me until you started in on sociopathic children. This is the parents fault, full stop.  Don’t blame the kids who don’t know better. But yes we keep our kids home this week. Thee was an event at our school on Friday and I heard it was crowded and only like 50% masked. Superspreader event for sure.[/quote]

Sorry, you're right. The kids aren't sociopaths. They're just taking the advice of sociopaths.

I remember when I begged the school board to not put our kids in the position where they'd have to make choices about hurting other people, choices they'd have to live with for the rest of their lives. Well, that school board lady is either the real sociopath, or she has eaten a lot of lead paint chips. [/quote]

Unfortunately, statistically it’s very likely she grew up in a house with lead problems.

But yes all the adults are done with the masks and telling kids it’s ok- parents, teachers, principals. No role models left doing the right thing.[/quote]

Don’t forget to mention that central office has very high Covid numbers.  [/quote]

Are they working in person spreading around the office or still working at home and getting Covid at after hour gatherings?[/quote]

Doesn't really matter where they contract it.  The point is that if it's brought into an unmasked area (school cafeteria, indoor office meeting, etc.) it's an issue.

Only time will tell what effect repeated exposures will have in the long run, but yes, I do suspect test score studies should be done on infected and non-infected children covid populations by age group.  I strongly suspect there is a direct correlation.

"Even mild Covid is linked to brain damage, scans show"  https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/long-covid-even-mild-covid-linked-damage-brain-months-infection-rcna18959[/quote]

So what’s your long term plan then- keep your kids masked or in VA indefinitely until there is a proven treatment to prevent long Covid?  That could be years, if ever.  Because if that article is true- that a single case of mild Covid can lead to long term damage, you can’t even risk getting Covid once.[/quote]

DP, yes, my kids will continue to mask and stay in VA.  They choose to mask.  We don’t have to tell them or remind them.   They are decent people who get how contagious this virus is and understand the impact it could have on others.  They also know what is like to lose some who was young and have had several significant losses.  Be grateful yours don’t know that kind of pain.  Nothing can replace losing a sibling or parent or both.  Basic precautions are common sense.  [/quote]

DP but how old are your kids my I ask?  We are in VA but my 4rd grader is really rebelling against it and I'm torn whether to continue next year.  He is very social and has ADHD (we started meds this year to help with the focus).  I know he would wear a mask in school but all other precautions are gone and guessing by next year few kids will be masked.  How did you instill this sense of empathy and understanding in your kids?  We haven't resumed in-person church and gave up on the Zoom services.  He plays baseball this spring but I haven't initiated getting together with families one-on-one because they all seem pretty lax.

My 6th grader is fine, they'd be happy to do remote indefinitely but I wonder how they would feel not having a sibling at home.[/quote]

Another DP - What you're describing does not sound healthy for your children. I recommend you speak to your family physicians about your household's risk from COVID and what loosening restrictions might look like. I feel badly for your social child that hasn't attended school or church or had a one-on-one play date in two years. And for that matter your older child who feels comfortable with isolation - is that a good thing?[/quote]

Agreed, PP is ruining their kids. They only get to be kids once, and their childhood school memories will be watching class through a laptop. Not to mention all the skills they'll be missing once they turn 18 and are out on their own.[/quote]

Actually it depends on how you look at it.  Since we are home, we have had far more time to work on skills.   It’s 2022.  Times have changed, you have not.  [/quote]

Times have not changed. Virtual didn't transform education across the country. It mostly got phased out or looks something like MCPS's anemic offering. Kids already know how to navigate technology via their own personal lives, so the "times have changed" skillsets you're referring to are not unique at all.[/quote]

They very much have.   [/quote]

How have they changed?[/quote]

Remote work is here to stay. Kids in VA and other remote programs will have an easier time making the jump to remote jobs, as opposed to kids who NEED to be in person to get anything done.[/quote]

This comment is one of the most ill-informed that I've seen on DCUM, and that's saying something.

Try to learn something about child development before you comment.  Children are not miniature adults.[/quote]

Shows what you know which is nothing.
[/quote]

Sounds like a response from an early grade schooler.[/quote]
