[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Equity doesn’t mean “the same”. What your middle class NT, straight cis child living in a two parent suburban home needs may look like “back to normal” to you and feel like hell to someone else. There are children who blossomed academically during COL because they weren’t being bullied every day. There are kids with chronic health issues who got stronger because they were more well-rested and less exposed to minor bugs. There were ADHD students who could focus better at home than in a classroom. Why do you hate that they might get the option for DL. You put your kid on hybrid and let others decide for themselves.[/quote] It's 100% guaranteed that there will be a remote instruction option for people (like you) who want a remote-instruction option for their kids. In contrast, it's looking increasingly doubtful that there will be a school option for people who want a school option for their kids.[/quote] Yep. This. Highly unlikely there will even be an in person option for the entire school year. Along with no school sports. Don’t worry, PP. Your wish for DL has been granted. [/quote] Sorry, kids. We decided yet again that you're not important. We're hurting ourselves as well as you in the long run, but for right now, we'll tell ourselves that you'll be just fine. After all, you're not dead, and that's good enough, right?[/quote] Not dead is the starting place for life. Unless a posthumous diploma is good enough for your kid.[/quote] Not dead is NOT good enough. If we wanted, we could have the kids be (a) not dead (b) receiving an appropriate education. But evidently we don't wanna. [/quote] Because we wanna go to bars and restaurants and the beach and not wear masks more than we want to get case counts low enough to get kids back in schools. Here's my new favorite tool: Event risk assessment "The risk level is the estimated chance (0-100%) that at least 1 COVID-19 positive individual will be present at an event in a county, given the size of the event" Today, for a 10 person event (ES classroom) there is a 10% chance that one of the people there is COVID-19 positive. For a 100 person event (7 HS classes) there is a 65% likelihood that someone will be COVID-19 positive. When we get case counts low enough that the chance is <1%, then lets talk about sending kids back. Until then, stop blaming MCPS for the problem.[/quote]
