IMO they shot themselves in the foot by closing school. What an impact they made on so many people day in and day out for a year. I certainly hope it is a case study for the future. [/quote]

They made informed, reasonable decisions based on the info we had and resources available. You think we have staffing issues now? Imagine if you forced teachers in last fall before the vaccine and as numbers were skyrocketing.

Our schools (local, not state) didn’t just say F it and send kids back in.

Sorry that pisses you off so much that you had to vote for a Trump Republican.

I voted D like I always do but your attitude is exactly why the Rs won and I’ve been saying that. 
I also remember that Northam allowed schools to open hybrid in August 2020 and Fairfax had some of the best corona numbers in the state - not the worst - such that we should have considered being more conservative than he allowed with school reopening. And I also didn’t forget that the Dept of Health approved of the hybrid plan as well. [/quote]

So you’re pissed at FCPS?

I am just telling you where the people are so the Ds don’t miss the mark next time. [/quote]

Most of the parents don't remember the nuance of what the governor approved vs. what happened. All they saw is that public schools weren't open for most of 2020-2021, while private schools did open full time. [/quote]

I agree. [/quote]
And they remember the condescending attitudes and general tone-deafness of the Democratic establishment when it came to discussions of school reopening. It’s pretty clear that Democratic leaders believe there’s no place for parents in discussions about schools in general.

Maybe Democrats will learn from this loss, but I doubt it. [/quote]

Hard to hear any rational argument over all of the yelling and screaming.
