Washington County, MD is already partially open. They've managed to figure out how to safely transport kids on buses, fit the kids in classrooms, etc.

They're not Germany. They're an hour away from MCPS, in the same state. Similar infection rate, same governor, same president. The only difference: county leadership.

We are one of the largest school districts in the country and the largest in the state.  You cannot compare what a smaller county is doing. [b] Almost all our schools are over capacity and some haven't been fixed in 40 years.  Small classrooms, small hallways, 25-35 kids per class.  Some classrooms doing have working heat/ac.  Some classrooms don't have windows.  Many teachers don't even have their own classrooms[/b].[/quote]

And just like the PP said, the blame for this falls squarely on the shoulders of Montgomery County leadership.

Montgomery County voters and Montgomery County leaders have allowed this county to get to this position.  Overcrowded schools and overcrowded classrooms.  Promoting irresponsible overdevelopment (without calling for appropriate infrastructure) is partly to blame, as well as so many other factors.

But you can’t blame the Governor and you can’t blame the President for a completely dysfunctional county school system and an inept county leadership.  [/quote]

I can blame the president for a completely dysfunctional federal response to the pandemic. And I do. This is not an MCPS issue, because all of the big school districts are having the same problems. The issue is that the federal response was a [u][b]failure[/b][/u].

In New Zealand, they're playing sports games in full stadiums. Meanwhile here you're trying to spread the idea that the closed schools are somehow Marc Elrich's and Jack Smith's fault. They're not. They're Trump's fault.

Also, no, the county school system is not completely dysfunctional, so that's some more disinformation you're spreading.[/quote]

I blame individuals who have no common sense and zero feelings of personal responsibility.[/quote]

It's odd that there are so many more people like this in the US than elsewhere in the world, though, don't you think? How do you think that came about?[/quote]

I see you’re comfortable spreading your own disinformation.

Have you even left the US?  Talked to actual people in other countries?

There are PLENTY of people, all over the world, in every country who lack common sense.  [/quote]
