[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am somewhat confident that we will not have to go to Plan B...but I am wavering a bit lately.

Plan B for us is to immediately go and rent a 2 BR apartment in the closest MD or VA district that is open, and my husband and I and our son will live there.  We can handle a long commute for a year (no, we will not commit residency fraud and keep living in our DC house while we attend school elsewhere).  DS is a senior in high school, and I am desperate for him to have one full, in-person year to finish it out.[/quote]

Fairfax will be stay open because of the governor's race.  The Republican candidate is running in part on a platform that schools need to be open.  The democrat will lose if schools close.  I bet Fairfax stays open through hell or high water this school year. [/quote]

I never thought Republicans would show leadership on educational issues until this pandemic. (I still hope he loses, but glad he is putting this pressure on.)[/quote]

LOL, that should tell you something about the wisdom of opening schools.[/quote]

No, that tells me that even a blind chicken sometimes finds a seed.

And your response tells me that a big reason many liberals dug in on the school issue is their reflexive opposition to anything Republicans say.[/quote]

I will say, the school closures did not make me a Republican, but they gave me some respect for the Republican value of small government and self-reliance. While those qualities don’t always lead to policy choices I agree with, they did lead to an orientation of not being consumed with preventing all covid risk. But at the end of the day, I’m also not sure if it wasn’t just pure interest group politics. Because of course all sorts of childcare remained open in Democratic states and cities. It was just unionized schools that closed (with charters and neighboring jurisdictions riding coattails). [/quote]
