[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t know MCPS was working on a solution.  This looks really positive for families who were previously enrolled in MVA and cannot attend school due to medical needs.  I especially like that parent supervision is required for children under 12 and recommended for over 12.[/quote]

Most MVA kids didn't have medical needs. That's why the MVAers don't like the plan.[/quote]

Correct. Most MVA families wanted the option preserved for their choice or to continue to enable their children’s anxiety disorders.[/quote]

Anxiety is an illness.  If you can’t go do school in person due to your anxiety, this is a great option.[/quote]

It’s an illness with many treatments options. Many kids who have anxiety successfully attend in-person and have been doing so for years.[/quote]

Right, and many also got better treatment as they were in virtual, could get rid of the triggers and focus on their mental health.  Many kids have NOT been successful in person.  That is why they have so many meaningless mental health trainings for the kids and have social workers, counselors and therapists in the schools as parents no longer parent and expect the schools to do everything.  If kids were managing so great, why is in person such a hot mess.

So, you think the kid that need an organ transplant would be better off in person?  Kids with medical issues?  Kids with mental health issues that struggled in person?  Kids whose learning style works best with virtual and/or kids who need more support who aren't getting it in person where they can at home?  How about kids with severe medical and other issues?  Wheelchair-bound in a school without good access?  Kids who rely on adults for their daily care, bathroom, etc?    How about the kids who were forced back in person and don't have para's as promised?[/quote]

The parents of the child that is on the transplant list are nuts. That poor kid should absolutely be in school. People in that situation end up waiting for an organ for a long time. It's pretty easy to tell when someone has end stage liver disease just by looking at them. He's not there. There's no way his MELD score is high enough that he's getting a cadaver organ anytime soon. His parents must be in denial, possibly from feeling guilty over being unwilling or unable to be living donors.[/quote]

You sound nuts not to take something as serious as that seriously.  You are also very cruel.  You don't know what is going on and its none of your business.  Yes, that child will wait a long time but if they are sick it can have serious consequences.[/quote]

You're the one that brought that family up.

And I certainly take that situation seriously. I'm sure I have more experience with that than you. Actually, I have more experience with it than that family does.[/quote]

No, you don't or you'd have far more empathy and concern.  You don't know what's best for this child and its up to the parents and doctors, not some random selfish stranger.  [/quote]

There's no way his transplant hepatologist told his parents that he needs to stay home.[/quote]

Did you listen to the testimony?  They said he could not be exposed to colds/flu/covid.  Its going around the schools now and many are sick or out sick.  We had multiple teachers out sick this week.  Our family got it too.[/quote]

Illnesses at school? I'm shocked!

Obviously illnesses have always been going around at schools and workplaces. It has never been common for people with chronic conditions requiring an organ transplant to isolate for years as they wait on the list. The unfortunate, but consistent, pattern is that you're not likely to get an organ until your health deteriorates to the point where you can't do normal activities.

Stay blessed.  Not everyone is as healthy as you.  [/quote]

Have you gone through the organ transplant process? It doesn't sound like it.[/quote]
