I couldn't agree more and am really disappointed with MCPS and their non-scientific "health metrics" which we will certainly never meet, meaning no in-person school for our kids this year. [/quote]

This isn’t about the kids. This is a workplace safety issue. The sooner you realize that and understand that your feelings as a parent are completely irrelevant, the sooner you will understand the reality of the situation.

Why the hell would a doctor write about schools? Maybe a teacher should write about the medical workplace? [/quote]

I do understand the reality of the situation, which is that the education of public school kids in the DMV falls below the interests of private daycare kids, wealthy private school kids, Catholic school kids, bar patrons, gym goers, ESCAPE ROOMS, and pretty much everything else.  [/quote]

100%
If we were in a true stay-at-home order, with bars and gyms, and restaurants closed, then I could understand schools also being closed.
But the fact that bars are open and schools are closed....  it's truly incomprehensible.
Walking by crowded bars, seeing all these unmasked people sharing tables "eating".... while having my 8 year old trying to learn through mediocre DL... it's infuriating.[/quote]
