[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so funny to me that now WaPo is on board with opening schools. Why, I wonder?[/quote]

I think the switch flipped for many people when it became clear that most of us will be waiting 6 months for a vaccine, and our parents can’t get a vaccine, but they started vaccinating teachers.  And, FEA was giving interviews and saying teachers should still be remote until kids were vaccinated too.  And also saying that full return to school couldn’t happen next fall. While teachers were getting the entire vaccine supply.  Almost no other state is prioritizing teachers as high as VA. Because it’s objectively less risky than many jobs prioritized lower.

That’s the red line for so many of us. 40 year old teachers getting this lifesaving vaccine that our 80 year old parents can’t get, and then hearing more stalling on return to school?  Just no.  We have done this for a year. We can’t still be doing it a year from now. We must let our kids lead their lives, despite COVID. [/quote]

Please. Post has been pushing opening thru local NVA schools reporter since November. Right when rates started to spike, ironically. [/quote]

November was also when it started to become increasingly clear that with proper mitigation strategies, schools could be open, at least at the elementary level.[/quote]
