[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and NOT for closing schools and going virtual because of Covid.  I do believe there is a high chance we will return, there will be community spread and some/many schools will close for a short time.  However, I think this wave will be over by the end of January.

With the opportunity for snow on Friday, I don't see the point of bringing students in for one day.  The first day after break is always difficult getting students back into the groove.  I also think that if we have the opportunity for community spread, one day together is not really beneficial.

Arlington should just call virtual for Thursday and Friday.  We return on Monday and hope (while using precautions) that we don't have community spread that would cause individual schools to close. [/quote]

You're vaccinated and boosted. You must be an anti-vaxxer though since it appears that you don't think vaccines work.

If you're worried about being exposed to COVID, school often has the lowest amount of spread in the community. But then again, everyone will be repeatedly exposed to COVID for the rest of their life. It won't be eradicated (in case you haven't seen the news for the last 9 months).  And we're moving away from case counts, etc. and getting back to normal life soon.

Time to get to work. [/quote]

Exactly!  People think we can recuperate this lost time but we don’t. Each day that passes is detrimental to kids, especially those who are already behind or who don’t have parental support at home. I am an educator and I wholeheartedly believe the kids need to be in school as soon as possible and get back to normal. Virtual is not normal. It doesn’t work for the vast majority of kids. I am prepared to do my job, I am vaccinated and not afraid. Bring the kids back to school![/quote]

Stop with the drama.  Virtual school is not happening.  It’s just a snowstorm.[/quote]

Seriously!!  We’ve had snowstorms before without going virtual.  People cannot separate Covid from anything anymore.[/quote]
