[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am still boggled by a parent who thinks the right lesson here is to te their teen that everyone else having to suffer so they can have algebra is the right call.

Sure, sweetie! Baba Jean and your physics teacher died alone choking on their mucous, but the important thing here is they did it so YOU COULD GO TO EMORY! [/quote]

Cases have gone up but the death rate has remained relatively low during this surge due to these things called vaccines.  the risk of severe, fatal Covid is low.  There’s no true benefit to closing schools right now. The 2020 playbook doesn’t apply to the 2022 virus. [/quote]

The benefit is stopping the spread.[/quote]

Okayyyy—but let’s keep restaurants bars gyms hair salons etc open bc schools are the true super spreaders. [/quote]

I have literally not heard a single person say that schools should close while all of those other things stay open.  I absolutely think all of those things should close now, preferably before schools, but MCPS can't order the bars closed.  The only thing they *can* do is close schools (which, given staffing issues, is as much a logistical necessity as anything else).[/quote]

Correct.

The fact that we keep having this same argument over and over again and the sad remain person brings up the same points every time *may* indicate there's something questionable about them besides a lack of imagination. [/quote]

MCPS does not control those things, they only control the schools.  That is a county discussion  which has nothing to do with MCPS.  As an adult, you need to use good judgement and stop the spread.  If  you cannot self regulate and not go to a movie theater, bar, or indoor dining right now you have far bigger issues than covid.[/quote]

Businesses are already closing on their own. They aren’t stupid. Staff is out sick and they can only handle limited business. All Apple stores closed last week in DC and NYC.[/quote]
