[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like this in late July are so predictable. People calling for school closures and doom are an extremist minority who are detached from reality. It’s like a cult at this point.[/quote]

Unfortunately there are ALOT of parents and public health official as like this in Montgomery County.  Too many.  And they have very loud voices.  Our kids suffered for two years because of these ‘doom and gloom’ parents/public health officials.

I would hope that we know to ignore them by now, but I am not certain and could see schools having issues with closures due to quarantines, etc.  [/quote]

There’s no regional company on this any more. None of the other school region message boards even have a Covid thread on their first page. Fortunately, we now have a Superintendent that couldn’t care less what the hypochondriacs and shutins think. [/quote]

It’s like you’re not even listening to what the actual problem is. The problem isn’t COVID itself… it’s that with sickness comes a staffing crisis. You cannot have open school buildings without anyone to run the schools. Or you do and you herd 100s of kids into auditoriums in the name of “education” bc many morons here think an open building automatically equals education. It doesn’t. If you actually cared about the education aspect, you’d realize this. Otherwise what you’re really saying is you’re just concerned with free babysitting and using “education” as the guise. [/quote]

Like last winter? The handful of schools that lost the color coding lottery for a couple weeks? Or a couple anecdotes about auditoriums for a couple days? Covid is even a bigger non-story now. Nothing is shutting down. [/quote]

It's amazing. It's like you still aren't listening. Not shocking. Who said anything about shutting down? No where in that post did it mention that. All it said was parents wrongly equate open buildings with education. Do you actually think kids were learning in January when they were stuffed into auditoriums with teachers who didn't teach their content? If you do, you're not very smart. Schools will continue like this in the fall due to staffing shortages and parents wont care because their kids are in school. That is fine but stop pretending it's about education because it obviously is not. It's about babysitting. [/quote]

Ok wait - so are you the same poster that is simply advocating for a virtual option indefinitely?  Kids being in auditoriums etc may not be learning content out of a book or from a teacher but at least in that moment they are being social with their peers.  That has to be worth something right?![/quote]

There hasnt been a single post here advocating for virtual indefinitely. READING COMPREHENSION MATTERS. I posted that virtual has existed for longer than the pandemic and parents in MoCo are out of touch because they equate bad parenting with virtual school. How is that advocating for "indefinite virtual." It's pointing out that having kids in school virtually doesnt make other people bad parents. [/quote]

Interesting....my point is simply that virtual is equivalent to home school which should be done on your dime not mine.[/quote]
