[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS is finally getting with the program. It seems this thread is 95% responses by teachers if I had to guess.

Teachers, there are other teachers around the country successfully teaching. I do think there should be some kind of opt-out for teachers with immune system issues or serious complicating health factors. But for healthy normal adult teachers, let's be reasonable. You cannot stay out of the classroom until there is zero risk. The educational system is changing drastically while you sit this one out.

By pushing parents to the brink with union protests, you are losing your public school children populations and you will eventually return to a very different school framework, where parents realize public school education is less desirable and your formerly "upper-middle class" schools might look very different. Maybe smaller size public schools will be for the best, but it further segregates our society's children, which is not.

My child's in-school public school 2nd grade class (outside the DMV) had two kids at separate times catch COVID (they suspect from a soccer team, family contacts etc), and none of them transmitted it to other students in the class or teacher, or others in the school (based on the school's tracking and low numbers). Wearing masks, tracking cases, and social distancing works in schools. [/quote]

“Union protests”? There is no teacher union in VA.

This is a thread about APS. Why do you think we care about your comments?

This.  Also, one of the classrooms in my daycare had a covid outbreak— 1 child in five hours at school (who was not symptomatic at the time) got ten other kids sick.  Wearing masks and social distancing.  You have been lucky.[/quote]
