[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So parents have to find childcare solutions in two-week increments? How is that possibly going to work?[/quote]

Ironic isn't it? Liberals who don't care about education, children, or working families. They have put the public health bueracracy and teachers unions on a pedestal and don't give a s**t about you or your kids.

+1 - a registered Democrat but unhappy with how county Democrats have kept bars and restaurants open but schools once again are closing.  Education for students in Montgomery County is in the toilet. Nothing has been done to repair the damage of 18 months of virtual learning and now MCPS is putting students back online. The majority of families affected are the working poor in underserved and at risk communities. [/quote]

I'm also a registered Democrat with a different take.   Children cannot protect themselves, and if their parents throw them to the wolves (or into situations where they'll contract or have contracted the covid virus, as the case may be) - I believe it's the failure of Adults and the elected officials to protect them.

The only children damaged by virtual learning are the parents that withheld technology from their children.  Most of the children my ES/MS kids know are all tech-saavy and had virtually no issues studying remotely.  I do agree that the majority of working poor are underserved and at risk, however, it is MCPS leadership and the board themselves that refused to enable hybrid options last year and this year.

I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for fools.  I seriously believe these crazy people on the board and in the Central Office have lost all common sense and should be fired or voted out of office.  I'm sick of and disgusted by them, but it is what it is.[/quote]

Kids will get Covid, but the likelihood of serious illness is very very small especially for those vaccinated which means every child in elementary school through HS. Those of you who are so insistent that we close schools, tell me this - did you take your kids on a trip over the holidays? Did you bring them to a restaurant or a theme park or a sports game? Why are you willing to expose them to risks for entertainment but not for education? Why are we as a society willing to keep all other activities open and unrestricted while we move to shut schools?[/quote]

I think I’m in the best position to judge if virtual learning “damaged” my first grader with ADHD. Well along with their therapist and doctors. We ALL agree it was a disaster for DC. And the numbers don’t lie about academic loss overall so you are fooling yourself if you think virtual school was fine for all kids. Lucky you if your kids were lucky and it wasn’t terrible for them.[/quote]

DL was a nightmare for my child with ADHD also.  The thing is they also have underlying medical condition making them high risk for severe covid complications. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.  Ideal scenario would be make in person safer for all.  That’s not happening.  And VA not an option either for ADHD[/quote]
