[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how other places with worse health numbers than ours (cases per 100k, positivity rate, rate of spread) have had in person schooling and sports since late August. I know people in Ohio, FL and GA for example that have had soccer and marching band seasons. They are currently participating in football playoffs and seemingly have it had any issues doing so. Of course these things are happening with restrictions in place.

I’m not convinced they should be doing these things, but like I mentioned they seem to be pulling it off. Why such a difference? [/quote]

Just because they did doesn’t mean they should. Their local leaders don’t care. Ours do. This isn’t a bad thing. [/quote]

Their local leaders have different priorities. I wouldn't say they don't care.  [/quote]

I wouldn’t say they don’t care. How is it though they can have school, sports, etc without having to shut down due to outbreaks, student or teacher deaths?[/quote]

they do shut down and reopen. there are few deaths because it’s [b]not actually that risky[/b]. latest research is that covid spreads in a limited way in schools, so quarantining the class works. [/quote]

PP here. Thanks. That’s what I’m struggling with. Isn’t that a major concern people have and a reason why we aren’t in school? I’m an ES teacher and I’m disappointed we have missed all this time while other districts are in. I actually saw a teacher post something like, “They are sending us back to diiieeeeeee”. [/quote]

Ask me how I feel that all my kid’s cousins are back in school because they have the money for privates or live in reopened districts!!! [/quote]

All of my close friends have had their kids back in this area since last week of august because of private school. [/quote]
