[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is providing a clear plan except to rant.   Older schools don’t have and hvac system and are on a water boiler system.   They don’t have the duct for an hvac.  Many of these schools need to be torn down like ours but they only get done when things are so bad and they usually only do one at a time.  The money goes to the rich schools where parents advocate and some of those schools have had multiple renovations.  Your schools are probably ok, ours are not but since they all fall under mcps you cannot open.  You need to advocate for the schools not up to standards, not just yours.  Instead of all that Astro turf we could have had a new roof and working windows. [/quote]

Here's a clear plan:

(1) soap in all of the bathrooms, masks required, bus windows open, no band or chorus, PE outside, recess outside (in all weather), lunch in classrooms, extra cleaning staff to clean the classrooms lunch is eaten in, everyone back to school full day five days a week except people enrolled in the statewide distance learning program
(2) a statewide distance learning program

The problem with this plan is not lack of clarity. The problem is that it's politically impossible. MCPS, plenty of teachers, and Hogan won't agree to it.[/quote]

+1.  That's basically the same idea I posted above.  Two options.  Keep it simple.  I don't see how any families can object to this.

[b]the only objection can be from the few teachers that will have to return against their will[/b][/quote]

PP, if that were the only objection, we'd be doing it already.[/quote]

Sure, its more nuanced than that.  Its probably that the teachers union will object if there are teachers that dont want to return but are forced to, which is the point of unions, I suppose....

What are the other objections?  Parents that want a return get a return; parents what want DL get DL[/quote]

Stop blaming the teachers.  As a parent we don't want to go back to an unsafe situation.[/quote]

THEN.  DON'T.  GO.

Honestly why is this so hard to understand?  The proposal by a previous poster had a full DL option.

But you do realize how wrong and selfish it is to say "my family does not want to return.  thus, no families can return.'

Spoiler alert: you are not the queen of england, and you shall not be treated as such[/quote]

You are wrong and selfish to demand we return to school and you cannot say a clear plan to make it happen.  Just because you don't want to take care of your kids.  You don't care about anyone else but you and your needs.  You are selfish.  We cannot return because people like you are living their lives as normal and will infect others and not care.  It may be fine for your family and you are willing to take that risk but many of us know the consequences of losing a parent or child and aren't willing.

You clearly don't understand the virus, how it spreads or understand the issues involved with the buildings, overcrowding and much more if you don't understand why those are not options.

We cannot do outside learning due to safety issues.[/quote]

Wow, you're actually really, really selfish. Just stay home.[/quote]

How am I being selfish?  Hire someone to take care of your kids if you don't want to?  The county has child care vouchers for school aged kids if you need help.  Selfish is living in a million dollar house and screaming poverty when it comes to caring for your kids and not wanting to do it yourself.[/quote]
