How is Delta doing in DC? Is Childrens filled? No? Then what’s the relevance?

Stop trying to ruin school for everyone else. [/quote]
Hypothetically, would you evacuate your beachfront Florida home if meteorologists told you a hurricane was coming but you couldn't see it out the window? Sounds like not.[/quote]

Oh ffs. That is a totally inapt analogy. This is more like “would you bulldoze your neighbors house because you heard their may be strong winds with a 0.01% percentage of falling on your house”?[/quote]
I know you feel we want to bulldoze your figurative house - you've behaved accordingly this past week. We just want to learn from home until the vaccine is ready or the virus numbers are low enough to be safe. We don't even want your kid to do that. Your kid go to school, go. No bulldozing. [/quote]

YOU may homeschool. Stop demanding everyone cater to you. [/quote]
After a year of DL, hybrid, concurrent, asymptomatic testing, smaller cohorts, it isn't ethical to tell families "Yeah, we're not doing any of that anymore, no version of it. We know the risks are far greater now, but we can't afford to mitigate them. So send your kids in with us or figure something out on your own." DCPS has a responsibility towards all of its students, including those whose families want their children vaccinated before going into a full classroom with delta circulating. [/quote]

So much this.

But ... that’s not what they are doing. classes in the spring were normal sized. They are keeping masking, ventilation, and cohorts. and now of course all adults should be vaccinated. [/quote]

What school is your child at? Classes at my son's school in spring were a fraction of the size of a normal school year.  His class had 7 kids compared with 25 kids.  They were cohorting but that also included eating lunch as a class and not in the cafeteria as is proposed for the fall.  As I understand it, DCPS is scaling back significantly on asymptomatic testing, but correct me if I'm wrong on this. Kids were masked in spring as they will in be in fall, so that reassuring. I think a majority of the teachers are vaccinated but I haven't heard anything regarding the rates for other staff (custodians, admin).  There was no aftercare in spring, and I have no idea what aftercare will look like in the fall but in previous years, kids from different classes and age groups were put together in an aftercare class.  So potentially cohorting will be out if aftercare practices from the past are factored in. So in short, I have no idea if our school will retain the same mitigation measures as spring or not. I wish DCPS gave us some guidance already.[/quote]
