[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS can’t academically afford to shut down schools for any timeframe

[/quote]

Yes, they can.  Parents need to support their kids.  [/quote]

FYI there are kids with disabilities cannot learn on Zoom. [/quote]

Correct, but if they are that severely impacted a break from school sounds better than covid.  Especially those who cannot mask.[/quote]

How do you figure? Most of those kids with special needs are just as low risk for covid as anyone else. And academic and behavioral regression during closures is a much bigger problem with many of these students.[/quote]

Then perhaps their parents can help with those things.   Right now everyone is high risk.  It’s getting bad and few seem to care.  [/quote]

Did you know parents of kids with special needs have jobs too? It turns out it is quite expensive to have a kid with special needs. Ask me how I know.

Omicron appears to be lower risk for severe illness than even Delta. And kids were low risk for Delta.

It's not getting bad for kids. It’s getting bad for unvaccinated/unboosted adults and the elderly.[/quote]

Most people are vaccinated and those things no longer apply.  Yes, I know how expensive it is as we’ve spent a fortune on services as mcps help was a job.   The risks are not lower and it’s highly contagious.  If you want kids to stay in school consider your behavior to keep them there instead of dismissing how serious the situation is.

All those kids will bring home Covid to their families and community.   None of us live in a bubble.

Instead of spending the time arguing you better start figuring out back up child care.  [/quote]

Breakthrough cases. How dumb are you?[/quote]
