[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m a democrat but I’m not surprised by Youngkin’s win. The school closures in 2020-2021 created a new unique alliance between parents on the far right and parents that just wanted schools open.

While I voted D, I’m also not willing to kowtow the party line when it’s not right, and I thought in August 2020 schools should have opened hybrid and I was vocal about it. And I told the school board as much and they didn’t care - haha. I hope everyone remembers in 2023 when they are up for re-election.[/quote]

Its a shame because the people who just wanted schools open don't yet know what they signed away in exchange.  Yay schools will be open but also masks will be banned and we'll have no ability to keep kids safe if/when there is another dangerous variant.

Schools will be open but now half the english curriculum has been banned by the crazys.  Good luck to your kid on the AP exam.

Schools will be open but VA's public school reputation will plummet - good luck on college applications.

Schools will be open but unable to hire qualified teachers and teachers continue to leave the profession in droves rather than continue to be screamed at by newly empowered parents.  - Enjoy your 35+ student class sizes and inexperienced barely certified teachers.

People wanted schools open but did not accept that there are consequences and it isn't possible to just magically return to 2019.  Now everyone gets to pay the price. [/quote]

While I voted D, I'm not really into the doomsday scenarios.  If you can remember - let's meet up here in 4 years.  I'll wager not much will change in terms of schools in the next 4 years - either way.[/quote]
