[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We walked around our kid's south Arlington school this weekend and peered in the windows -- air purifiers in every room we saw as well as plastic dividers on the desk. I was pleasantly surprised with how it all looked from the outside. Remember early in the year when people said there would be no art on the walls; no decorations; just a barebones room with kids miles apart? yeah, it didn't look like that. It looked totally fine, very welcoming, and made me excited for my Kindergartener to get to learn in person for a few months this year.[/quote]

Nobody ever said there’d be no art on the walls. You are all so dramatic. [/quote] People on this board were ABSOLUTELY saying in the fall that if we went back to school, the teachers wouldn't be allowed to have decorations on the walls; there would be no area rugs; etc. [/quote]

What does art on the wall have to do with Covid? This place is nuts I swear. [/quote]

It had to do with surface transmission. I guess people were worried that kids would want to touch art or something? Who knows. [/quote]

Yes, we were all more focused on surface transmission earlier on. 
[/quote]No, it was about the possibility that schools might be shut down because of a surge and that teachers would be looked out again.  Teachers were saying they might also have to share or switch classrooms so they couldn't hang anything.  It was all about uncertainty and timing.

It was always nonsense.[/quote]

What our school said back then was that kids couldn't submit any paper assignment (or artwork) because of surface transmission. So all assignments would be completed on the iPad. Or photographed on the iPad and submitted electronically. Yes, there was also uncertainty about who would go where, but the hanging artwork thing (in the hallway) was concern about surface transmission.

Our school is [i]still[/i] hyper focused on surface transmission. Very annoying.
