[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I shouldn't speak for my friend, but she teaches HS at an affluent school and lives in a WC neighborhood where she sends her kids.

She did not want to go back to work this week and felt she was throwing herself and kids and their classmates to the COVID wolves, but she had no other choice.

She hates virtual, but supports it during THIS TIME because she understands what a mess it will (and is) causing to have in-person school while so many people are positive and/or staff out. Just a nightmare.

Her experience in the classroom with kids on phones and poor mask-wearing (in the affluent school) mirrors what a PP said. She does report better mask usage this week than before the break.

The school where she teaches is red, her kid's school is green-- but of course, if you look at the green schools, you can see what they have in common, and it's not a population that is especially unlikely to have COVID, so none of it means anything. (Except that there's high and increasing spread everywhere, compared to pre-omicron times.)[/quote]

I’m just gonna put it out there that some schools in WC neighborhoods may be lower covid rate because.. they are. It may be that those families have been getting exposure constantly through their jobs and that their families have had covid several times or that the kids had it a month ago and caught the early wave. So wealthier schools may be actually be getting more covid right now because they were more likely to travel over break, yes, and are more likely to test,yes, but perhaps also because they have more work from home families and are a couple weeks behind a wave that hit lower income elementary schools with a more active immunity already.
 Just a theory.[/quote]
