[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. A bit of the fact that VA laid this all on individual SBs to make the decisions; I think in NY for instance the state had state-wide metrics that dictated whether you should open or close that varied according to certain factors. That was helpful in shifting the decision more up to the state level vs. SB members really unqualified to decide.

2. We have huge school systems. The other NE dem states that have re-opened tend to have very small/local school districts in most cases. There is just frankly no confidence - and rightly so - that FCPS can and more importantly WILL take the steps that health officials say are needed to actually open safely. [b]Dr. Gloria during meetings would keep saying "yes, you can open relatively safely, you just need to ....[do 5 different things that everyone knows are not going to reliably happen in real life]"[/b]

I think #2 is the biggest reason our teachers have fought this so hard (many not all) - because they see in real life how what is said on paper does not ever match what happens in practice and how the schools have been stripped of any real enforcement authority to make the thing on paper happen.

Yeah, she totally lost me when she said it would all be fine if everybody socially distanced and wore their masks inside the home as well. Who are we kidding?[/quote]
