[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally anticipating a bumpy January. Will be thrilled if it isn’t, but, not holding my breath.

Can I ask in all honesty, for those who are fearful of in person school and going back in Jan—what is your expected ultimate end game? Never get COVID?

I’m not sure that is realistic unless you do a full isolation at this point. It seems much more like it is only a matter of time before everyone gets it. Hopefully cases are generally milder and less intense, but, do people really think they are going to outrun this? [/quote]

Yes. There are literal nut jobs on this site who expect to live like this infinitely because they refuse to accept the reality of the situation. It’s insane. I’ve tuned them out and like most of the world have moved on with life. Movie theaters, restaurants, etc. are all packed by the way. Those of us back to normal are in the majority while the COVID zero crazies are sitting at home posting about how we need to shut down schools or put kids in KN95s. [/quote]

I'm totally happy to put my kid in a KN95 -- already ordered new and comfortable ones.  That's prudent, especially since this area is the epicenter of the current surge. [b]I am not happy to have my kid -- who already has LDs and needs to have direct instruction -- either in person or via remote -- lose weeks of instructional time because of a policy of exclusion when he is not sick.[/b] So if you're not going to support my kid in getting appropriate instruction, then you can all stay home with us and all fail middle school as well.  It's only equitable. [/quote]

Exactly!  Mine doesn't have LDs, but this model is completely idiotic.  There is no reason my not-sick 12-15yo needs to stay miss A WEEK of school over when they are double vaccinated.  We did the right thing.  Let our kids stay in school.[/quote]
