[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think we can push MCPS to only close for staff shortages.  If kids are testing positive in sky-high percentages, they'd be too sick to attend any kind of school, in-person or virtual.  And if there aren't enough staff, close them, period.  None of this virtual nonsense.[/quote]

This. Student absences shouldn't count. We are a super covid conservative family, and I shouldn't have to pay for the fact that your child decided to attend a NYE party. Only the staff positives should count for closing the school. The covid positive kids can figure out school for 14 days asynchronously. [/quote]

You aren't super covid conservative if your kids are in person school.  Yes, if a child is sick and don't submit a negative test, it absolutely should be counted.  People like you will just hide symptoms.  [/quote]

I didn't mean that i'd send in a sick kid! That's just evil. But if my well-kid happened to be in class with your sick kid, she shouldn't have to suffer because your family needed to go to the bahamas over xmas and got covid. Or your college kid home from break went to a bar. The school should not shut down because of some people's bad choices.

In other words, if half the class is sick with covid, the teachers can teach the half who aren't.

And yeah - we are covid conservative. We happen to prioritize our kids mental health over risk of covid so that they can go in person. But otherwise we don't do anything indoors. No indoor gatherings, no trips to the mall, no vacations, instacart. We work from home. Its a lot of sacrifice. [/quote]
