[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I blame APS's piss poor planning and foresight for this. However the numbers here were high. APS wasn't wrong or the only one to remain virtual. Yes, people in Georgia and Kentucky returned sooner. That doesn't mean they should have when their numbers were higher than ours or that we were in the wrong because we didn't.  COVID is a rapidly changing environment because we have been learning as we go. Remember last year when we were wiping down cereal boxes with clorox wipes? Now we know that isn't needed. We have learned and now have a vaccine.

But also all the other districts are pretty much still virtual too.  Our cousins who have kids in MCPS (Potomac) upper elementary aren't returning until after spring break. My APS kid is returning next week. Same number of days. FCPS also returning on about the same schedule. APS isn't some sort of outlier in this area. [/quote]

There are 6 school districts in NOVA.  APS, ACPS, FCPS, FCCPS, PW, and LW.
LW has elementary back, and returns middle and high this week.
PW has elementary back and returns middle and high this week.
FCCPS returned all students last week.

FCPS, ACPS, and APS are lagging behind.[/quote]

OMG - FCCPS RETURNED ONE WEEK EARLIER!!!!!!!!

You people are ridiculous.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Seriously, I can't believe people are still ranting about this- APS has a plan to get all grades back in for a hybrid model in the next 3 weeks- with the first groups starting TOMORROW!!! Chill out![/quote]But is it really opening?  My kid is going back hybrid and all but two subjects will still be delivered virtually.  It's a joke.[/quote]

Yes, it’s opening. It’s called hybrid and many school systems are doing it. 
[/quote]Really?  We've been complaining all year that virtual isn't appropriate for K-2 students.  So suddenly it's appropriate if provided in a classroom?  For the record, only one APS elementary school seems to be taking this position.[/quote]

:roll: 
Does your kid have the option to be in a classroom with a teacher this year?

Stop the hysteria. None of it is perfect. We are dealing with a freaking deadly pandemic here.
