[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure schools could have opened sooner if they had more resources, but in our area the same idiots who were calling for schools to open full time were also calling for them to open without any safety measures. That in my opinion held things up more. It was nuts. [/quote]

Then they were anti-mask. WTF? So illogical.

They seem to have some kind of oppositional disorder.  [/quote]

Yes … so opposition to (checks note) want kids to be in school. I’m not sure what “safety measures” you’re talking about but in DC these always seemed to be a moving target. Remember that the reopening was post-vaccine in DC. The safety measures like small class size, quarantine for exposure, masks, etc, were quite disruptive for a whole year + and a big waste of money (eg testing after returning from Christmas). Stupid sh*t like making the kids hold pool noodles on the playground so they would distance properly outside. (Then once the kids of course started bashing each other with the pool noodles, they were banned.) That said, I am grateful that our school was more reasonable (lazy?) than some and never tried to do outdoor lunch or make kids eat silently or nonsense like that.

The massive silver lining of Omicron is that it ripped off the bandaid. Kids stayed in school in DC even as everyone got covid. Our school had 5-6 cases/week for a while but stayed open with minimal disruption. It was fine! I was shocked but happy when DCPS went mask optional in March.

Looking back, the amount of effort expended *post vaccine* for “safety measures” seems quite absurd and I do not think it will be repeated. [/quote]
