[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was political.  That was when Trump was saying he wanted schools to open, and the [b]Democrats stomped their feet and insisted they couldn’t.[/b]  I’m a lifelong Democrat, but many went around the bend on this one.  My kids go to a catholic school that’s been open all year, with not one case of in-school transmission.  Gayles’ stand was about politics, that’s it.  [/quote]

Scientists.[/quote]

Um, no.  The scientists provided a list of mitigation measures.  Schools that could follow the measures and were allowed to open did so with success.  See all the parochial schools in the DMV.  [/quote]

Sorry, pp, but you have this wrong. Volunteers from our private school - parents who are doctors, nurses, work in public health and the federal government - dedicated much of their summer to working on these plans. The school made significant capital investments in ventilation, water stations, and other areas, hired a private testing company to test weekly...It was a HUGE effort. And then Gayle’s just said No, and I won’t read the plans? It was maddening. What’s else is MCPS just sat on their hands for months before dumping the job of preparing for distance learning on the school principals. If Gayle’s had deigned to read the plans, he may have been able to do some knowledge transfer to MCPS. Totally disgusted by the way MoCo handled the schools. [/quote]

They cannot just transfer the knowledge as the schools are set up very differently.  And, there isn't enough money.  Our public cannot afford things like tents for outdoor school and we are a low income school and the pta really struggles for any funding let alone to fundraise for a few dozen $4-6K tents.  Many of the buildings don't have an HVAC system so we just got air purifiers.  We don't have windows open.  In our public they have a maybe 40 kids in one space looking at the pictures.  That is a huge safety issue.  We are in a pandemic.  It amazes me how inflexible people are.  Our school has handled DL well.[/quote]
