[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow how incredibly out of touch can these people be? After they saw such a huge drop in grades and MAP scores, and heard that students are suffering mentally and educationally, they continue to push for school closures. MCPS should do the same thing that FFX and Loundon did. They told their teachers come back or resign.  [/quote]

Part of the grade issue is parents aren't requiring their kids to do the work so there is no accountability.  My child had a huge drop in their map m score.  Why cares?  [b]I'd rather a drop in MAP scores than one more person getting sick or dying[/b].  Are your really that out of touch about the fact we are in a pandemic?  Opening is not and option and other schools are now shutting again.[/quote]

Really? You would sacrifice all education if it stopped one person getting sick? Do you understand that there is always a risk of people getting sick and dying, even during non-covid times?

This country is so screwed. The "all or nothing" approach that characterizes every single issue is profoundly unhelpful, and prevents any attempt to build consensus.

To live is to live with risk. The question is what is the safest way to reopen schools, and are cases at a level where we can have in-person learning. Now, at current rates, it is not clear that schools should be open. But in September the situation was very different. [b]For sure schools could and should have opened then.[/b][/quote]

Yeah, if only we had a time machine, so that we could go back to September with the information we gained between September and November, and then make a different decision in September.[/quote]
