[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so funny to me that now WaPo is on board with opening schools. Why, I wonder?[/quote]

I think the switch flipped for many people when it became clear that most of us will be waiting 6 months for a vaccine, and our parents can’t get a vaccine, but they started vaccinating teachers.  And, FEA was giving interviews and saying teachers should still be remote until kids were vaccinated too.  And also saying that full return to school couldn’t happen next fall. While teachers were getting the entire vaccine supply.  Almost no other state is prioritizing teachers as high as VA. Because it’s objectively less risky than many jobs prioritized lower.

That’s the red line for so many of us. 40 year old teachers getting this lifesaving vaccine that our 80 year old parents can’t get, and then hearing more stalling on return to school?  Just no.  We have done this for a year. We can’t still be doing it a year from now. We must let our kids lead their lives, despite COVID. [/quote]

Agree with this. Even my nicest friends are grumbling in public now. I think it was the combination of seeing teachers all over SM with their vax cards---even teachers scheduled for all DL and FCPS staff who don't work with kids--AND the drumbeat of bad news about vaccine availability for everyone else. A vaccine right now is a ticket to living your real life. Or not catching COVID and dying, for old peop;e.  The rest of us have to wait 6 months for our golden ticket. And old people who should have been prioritized were bumped below every FCPS employee. [/quote]

Yeah, well, I will be vaccinated soon.  Let’s get all staff vaccinated ASAP and then  open schools.  [b]Do a week of mass vaccinations[/b], not this 4 week micromanaged Braband schedule, and get things rolling.  This is ridiculous.[/quote]

I don't think there are enough doses. [/quote]

I think there might be, but it would mean delaying all scheduled 65+ appointments and appointments for those with underlying health issues.

Do teachers and the teacher unions realize what the optics would mean if that happened?  [/quote]

A scenario that would give you intense  pleasure because or the amount of schadenfreude you will get to feel?  Yeah, most of you are just indulging your ids, here.  This is gross.  Grow up and learn how to fight for your kids the way adults need to.  It is not with these stupid bitch slapping wars you are starting.[/quote]
