[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Count me firmly in the keep schools open camp. I personally know more teens who have attempted suicide during the past two years than kids who got Covid (at all, let alone in school). And very afraid my kid might be next on the list if schools shut down again. This is not the way teens are supposed to grow up. [/quote]

I'm sorry your family is in pain. And I know this is dcurbammom, where we tell each other to toughen up and deal, and I don't want to do that. I know suicidal teens. I was one.

But this isn't about your teen. Or your family.

If there is some quiet small way you can impart that to them and find some joy in what you all have, I recommend it. [/quote]
DP, but you’re wrong. For once, we need to prioritize kids. Why is someone’s grandparent more important than this poster’s teen? I lost my beloved grandparents years ago and miss them daily, still, but enough is enough. Why are you forcing children to shoulder the burden, still?[/quote]

What burden? Seriously. All the teens I’ve seen posting online don’t want to go back to school (in MCPS)… and not because they don’t like school or want to be lazy… most of them are thought out responses based on not feeling safe, not having teachers,etc. the youth are better than most of the adults in this god forsaken county[/quote]

Do you follow teens online? Creepy. Any kids who want to stay home want to cheat.[/quote]
