[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So now we get to the crux of the matter. First OP wanted us to think she was "just asking questions" about the size of Blair, but really this is about people worrying that the racial and economic diversity of Blair will be particularly problematic for their UMC snowflakes.

There's lots we don't know about covid at this point, but there's actually not a lot of evidence of children (or teens) spreading the disease. Because kids rarely get sick with it, and the whole idea of children as "superspreaders" has been debunked, there's increasing evidence to suggest school closures are among the least effective methods of disease prevention.

Moreover, where do folks think the grocery store workers, Instacart drivers, landscapers, housecleaners, nannies, and everyone else that makes their UMC life run live?

They live in multi-family dwellings. Blair (or Kennedy, or Einstein) are not any more dangerous in terms of this virus than any other school, and pretending that your family will automatically be safe if you just don't send your kid to a racially diverse school is ignoring all of the other potential vectors.

As the OP, I do not feel it is okay for others to decide my intentions.  My question is about any large school, like Blair.  The point is the size of the school in a county with many cases; however, even if this was a large school in another part of the country or world, the question stands.  What do very large schools do?

I don’t think the size of the school really matters. Every school, including the smallest elementary school, still has hundreds of kids and staff all together under one roof. [/quote]
