[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might be best to leave this decision up to public health experts. [/quote]

And experts in education and child development.

Guess what?  They all agree that in-person learning should be prioritized.  So... yeah.  No need to petition, unless you want to show your support.  I'd rather email leadership directly to thank them for putting kids first, for a change.[/quote]

And of course the leading experts in education have gone remote themselves during the surge:

“ the University determined the best course of action was for us all to be remote for the first three weeks of January.  The hope is to reduce the risk of on-campus transmission following holiday travel and gatherings and lessen the stress on local healthcare systems. In other words, this is planned as a temporary measure designed to protect us at what is anticipated to be the height of the Omicron surge.”

Do you even read the things you post? They went virtual during the winter session (first three weeks of January) to promote reduced campus density. That was not a decision on a regular semester. They are starting classes January 24 in person. Also, during the three week pause, some learning did occur in person, such as those with labs and clinical requirements.

A 3 week pause sounds like a great idea![/quote]

Just three weeks. Then another three weeks because it is not safe yet. Then we have to wait for boosters for 5 to 11 year olds. Then we have to wait for the fourth shot for adults. Then we have to wait for a vaccine for 0 to 5. Then the new variant is here and we can't go back.[/quote]
