[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, kids are sporty and play in rec leagues right now, and hopefully do a different sport in the spring. And yes, our plan is for them to go back in-person, which is why this conversation started...husband is more worried about anti-Asian aggression at school than COVID. Do you think it'd be a good idea for us to "casually" share this concern with their current MS administration before in-person starts?[/quote]

I mean, the Admin at all schools is going insane right now trying to crank back up after a year.  So, no.  This isn’t what I would do to them. But if you approach it as “we’ve had a bad experience and are concerned,” good Admins will say reassuring things and not be offended. If you go at it with a “I’m putting you on notice I’m watching attitude,” good Admins will say the same reassuring things and raise a flag in the school, and not in a good way.  Because they will rightly believe your family is likely to cause racial unrest or huge PITA.

Really, I have a lot of criticism for FCPS this year, but school based Admins are the ones dealing with lots of parents and staff who are unhappy about that have legit gone badly with DL from ADA issues to IEP services to figuring out masks and lunch.   And are providing only leadership around, since SB and Brabrand clearly are not.  For their sake, please don’t.  For your kids sake, if you do it, have a very light touch.  [/quote]
