[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad we a Republican governor to moderate the crazy [b]school closers[/b] in Montgomery County.

A closed school is defined as one where no instructional learning occurs.  A 10-day temporary virtual learning status to help slow virus spread does not close schools.[/quote]

[b]Closing[/b] the schools does nothing to slow the spread. [b]Omicron surged over the Christmas break.[/b]

Virtual learning was a disaster from an educational and mental health perspective.

Please just homeschool your kids and leave the rest of us alone. I want my kids in school, where they belong.[/quote]

Christmas (e.g. Winter Break) is not evidence that non-in-person learning (not "closing").  Winter Break is evidence that when families and friends get together, unmask for a meal (similar to a lunchroom), they spread infection.  It was a nice try though- keep at it![/quote]
Do you think people won't be gathering together when the kid are virtual?  I see teachers on social media posting about their gathering and traveling.  Lost of people traveled  all over and dialed it in last year.[/quote]

Now you're just arguing from both sides of your mouth.

On one hand it's okay for kids to unmask in school lunchrooms, no matter how many get infected, and not to close down; yet teachers are being told by MCPS and the Governor that this is all okay - but can't "gather and travel"?  Inconsistent messaging leads to inconsistent results.  [/quote]
I 100% did not say people can't travel. You clearly need to be in person school.

If restaurants/bars are open where people unmask to eat, then schools can be open where kids unmask to eat.

Close the restaurants and bars first to control the spread. Schools should be the last to close.[/quote]
