I couldn't agree more and am really disappointed with MCPS and their non-scientific "health metrics" which we will certainly never meet, meaning no in-person school for our kids this year. [/quote]

This isn’t about the kids. This is a workplace safety issue. The sooner you realize that and understand that your feelings as a parent are completely irrelevant, the sooner you will understand the reality of the situation.

Why the hell would a doctor write about schools? Maybe a teacher should write about the medical workplace? [/quote]

Seriously. Unless teachers can be outfitted with covid floor level ppe, no way they should be forced to teach in person.[/quote]

Yet somehow daycare workers and private school teachers and Catholic school teachers and German teachers are teaching in person ... [/quote]

That other employees are exploited -- likely because they lack protections afforded by strong unions -- hardly means that others should similarly be exploited.[/quote]
