[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it always seem like Montgomery County Schools are caught flat footed? Do they not meet and talk through scenario's? What if there is big surge after the holidays? What if we don't have enough bus driver? What do we do if a whole bunch schools turn red at the same time? How will we manage lunches during a surge and cold-weather? The list goes on and on and on.[/quote] These are good questions. I think we all know the answer: incompetence [/quote] Parents are demanding schools stay in person. What do you really want them to do?[/quote] A few loud, annoying parents are demanding this. They see no nuance. Kids could start being hospitalized and they’d still want schools open. They don’t speak for the majority. [/quote] You're wrong - those who want schools to stay open are the majority, here and elsewhere. That's because education is an essential service. But we live in a county full of neurotics led by incompetent bureaucrats who opened "escape rooms" months before the reopened schools.[/quote] I'm part of the minority who studies the data and who knew we needed to pivot to virtual for January, instead of having this weird daily uncertainty. But I feel the majority of parents are NOT rabid, open-at-all-costs people like the aggressive, pitchfork-wielding trolls on this board. Most parents are reasonable and prefer to close schools rather than burden hospitals too much and prefer students stay home, doing their best to learn, rather than get babysat in schools rife with Omicron. [/quote] Most parents want schools to be the last service in the community to close. Why are bars in this county open but schools are closing? Why are malls open but schools are closing? Why are restaurants open but schools are closing? Why doesn’t MCPS allow test to stay so healthy kids can go to school? Why doesn’t MCPS require vaccinations for all students and staff? There’s a lot that should be done before closing schools. Montgomery County is an embarrassment. The Democrats that have been running the show through out this pandemic will not be getting my vote in the next election and I am a registered Democrat. At this point I have been pushed to the point that there needs to be school vouchers because there needs to be an alternative to MCPS.[/quote]
