[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know. Silly teachers. Using all time high numbers of community spread as an excuse. So baseless. Eyeroll.  [/quote]

Yes, it is baseless. Before posting this nonsense, did you even look at the "community spread" numbers?  
The numbers are not high in Arlington and they are certainly not and have never been high for children.
Even if there is community spread why would teachers need to be concerned since I am sure they are all just staying home, never leaving the house right? Isn't that safest? And isn't that their deepest concern???

I mean, we've got this lady: 
https://www.mystateline.com/news/state-news/chicago-teachers-union-leader-who-vacationed-while-claiming-its-unsafe-to-return-to-school-apologizes/

And, then locally, we have my hairdresser who knows how insane this has all been, telling me about teachers who are coming in for hair appointments, and lamenting to the stylists that they are petrified about going back to school. While sitting in the stylist's chair. In the salon. [/quote]

A hair salon where no one is allowed to be mask free for a hair cut is different than an entire day in a building with students who may not all be masked. [/quote]

+1. My biggest concern with returning is the lack of accountability for those students who choose to be maskless. When we ask, we can't get clear answers.[/quote]

Aren't teachers going to have extra safety measures - meaning masks and face shields?  Why focus on the extreme rare case here? [/quote]

Do YOU really want your kid in a room with some bozo who won't wear his mask?  Especially with the new mutations and strains of the virus I am becoming more and more concerned about the soundness of this plan to reopen school buildings for inperson learning. No way do we want our kids in classrooms where some kids think it is fun or funny to not wear their masks, not wear their masks appropriately, and not social distance.

As a parent I have many of the same questions, concerns and requirements as do the teachers.  I support and applaud the teachers for demanding accountability and transparency.  I back them 100%.[/quote]\

10 months into this pandemic, my kids are well aware of how to keep their distance from others and properly wear masks. I bet any kids that don't properly wear their face masks will actually be corrected by their peers at this point. let's give the benefit of the doubt here - we can make this work. We just need to stop finding every excuse in the book to avoid it. [/quote]
