[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the OP:  Support a vax drive for parents at your school, and if your school has kids 12+ then support a vax drive at the school for them.  I believe that schools can get grants to fund one of the mobile vax sites.

Maybe that will help allay some parents' fears.  (I doubt it but I can dream.)

I think you should also write to your admin and say you very strongly support IPL, basically saying what you said already here.[/quote]

Op here— thanks. Im taking notes of the good constructive recommendations and will follow through.[/quote]

I’d also demand answers about how masking will be enforced. I am certain in some schools it can’t be and won’t be. The behavior problems normally are too much to be handled. In the spring kids at my school flat out ignored masking and distancing. We can’t suspend kids for not masking, they are the same kids who won’t show up to online learning. [/quote]

People who are under the impression that all kids will wear masks and that anything will happen if they don’t hav never spent significant time in a DCPS school.[/quote]

I mean, you aren't going to have perfect adherence to masking.  There's no way to enforce this.  We can hope for general adherence but perfection doesn't happen even with adults.  [/quote]

I’m referring to the kids who walk in the building wearing a mask, get to class, take it off, then refuse to wear it at all, and refuse to socially distance. There were multiple at my school last year. [/quote]

Well, UK had no masking of kids under 12 and did not see a spike in in-school rates. So there's that.  On a broader level, I assume kids who do that are at-risk. So shutting the schools down because a few of them may have behavior problems and refuse to mask doesn't make a ton of sense. If any pressure needs to be brought to bear, it should be on the principals to discipline kids for not wearing masks. [/quote]
