[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not real happy about no distancing in the fall and I am wondering what this is really going to look like.

Are kids really going to be eating right next to each other in cafeterias? 11 and under won't be vaccinated. One of my kids is in this group.

My other is old enough to hopefully get it this summer. [b]But I'm seeing all these parents who don't seem that concerned about Covid. Will they get their kids vaccinated? [/b]

It looks like APS listened to the loud parents demanding full time school and is catering to them. Meanwhile I want in person school but I want safer distanced hybrid over unsafe full time.

I'm not unconcerned about covid.  My husband and I are now vaccinated and we will vaccinate kids.  At this point, the negative impacts on my kids of not going to normal school far outweigh whatever risks there are associated with them getting covid.  Will I be happy if they get it?  No.  But for our family and my kids, the mental calculus is truly easy.  They need to go to school.[/quote]

Ditto. I honestly don’t thing the risk will be that high. Community transmission should be low given adult and teen vaccinations so the risk of them being exposed is low. Even without strict distancing if the kids are in masks that’s another mitigation factor. I just don’t see the risk of them catching covid to be high. And if they do I’m a still not worried about it. But the harm of another year of this for kids and families is too high. The cost outweighs any benefit by fall. Preventing kids from getting covid at all costs is madness. [/quote]
