[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's just a take a moment of silence to reflect on just how bad Duran's decision was not to send kids back for more in person days this year.

- COVID rates are continuing to drop precipitously.  Only three cases in Arlington, yesterday, with a very strong downward trend.

- All teachers had the chance to be vaccinated months ago.  High risk persons had the opportunity to get vaccinated in March.

- More than half of Arlington adults are vaccinated

- Arlington is hosting walk up vaccine clinics so anyone who wants a vaccine has no excuse.  It's also widely available at pharmacies and grocery stores.

- Kids ages 12-15 can now get vaccinated and doses are available.  By next week there will be lots of options to get your older kid vaccinated.

- The weather is great for outdoor lunch. And schools haven't been found to be a significant source of transmission. (If anything open schools and close down sports teams.)

Yet APS has decided to keep the same model that was judged appropriate in January.  APS isn't offering summer school even to kids with serious need, let alone kids with some learning loss over the past year.  Yet APS has decided to squander the last 6-8 weeks of the school year.  Those weeks are far more than what is being offered over the summer.  They could make a real difference.  Shame on you, APS. [/quote]

I am pleased to meet you OP -- apparently you are able to see into the future, and expect other people like Duran to be able to do the same. Now that I have met someone who was able to successfully predict the status of FDA approval, the levels of acceptance by a particular population of a new vaccine, and the number of cases months in advance, I would love it if you were able to use your superpowers to be able to predict more things so that our community can make perfect decisions about future plans despite lacking information currently. Please tell us the exact enrollment numbers at all grade levels for each school this fall (that seems comparable to being able to foresee some of these other stats you list above). Please also predict for us what major federal initiative will be proposed this fall that will impact next year's proposed budget the most. I'm so grateful that you have elected to share your superior prognostication powers with our community to enable us to plan optimal courses of action from now on.

Meanwhile, the rest of us without the ability to predict the course of this pandemic have instead adjusted our expectations away from what isn't attainable and towards what has been attainable for our kids under rather high levels of uncertainty. BTW it was only LAST WEEK that the WHO and the CDC stated that the major form of transmission for the virus was aerosolized particles. So the entire global scientific community was wrong about the major method of transmission as of two weeks ago. But Duran should have been 'right' several months ago about....everything.
