[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about pushing back against people who don't agree with what you want.
It's about making the wisest choice for the greatest number of people.  Decisions must change as circumstances do.

FYI My school is offering in person AND virtual and I think that's the way to go.  [/quote]

No. You’re setting up a solution that will work for some rich kids snd punish everyone else.[/quote]

See, that's why we can't have a rational discussion. If you deny other people's needs and push for the one and only solution that works for you, you're selfish and shortsighted.

We all want schools to open. There isn't one parent on the face of this earth who wants schools closed. Indeed, a lot of parents are concerned that schools are not making the maximum effort to STAY open! If you want open, you're going to have to push for outdoor lunches and quality disposable masks. Schools can and should invest in outdoor lunch spaces, bulk buy KF94s, be more rigorous in their staff's attention to Covid precautions. But they're not, and this will cause major disruption in the fall, because Delta will spread and classes will have to go into quarantine. Therefore, mature people are calling for contingency planning, such as preparing virtual schooling options for those who don't wish to subject their families to continual disruption. Year-long virtual AND ad hoc virtual when a class needs to quarantine for 2 weeks.

All this has to be prepared in advance. I am sure families will use at least one of these options in the coming year. Having multiple back-up plans is how we will keep kids educated NO MATTER WHAT.

nope, nope nope. the default is open schools. I don’t have to advocate for a lunch tent or whatever your fixation du juor is. [/quote]

Maybe you missed OSSE’s definition of close contact. You should be advocating more than just saying it’s a fixation.

Close contact definition:
 - clarified that this is only for K-12 students (not pre-K, adults or staff)
- Close contact if < 3 ft distance 
- Close contact if share lunch room (b/c not all wearing masks)

Show me where in OSSE's guidance there is mention of close contacts and lunch.  [/quote]

It was on the Monday phone call. [/quote]
