[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MCPS, yes, because logic has gone out the window, and they seem more focused on deferring to anxiety and politics than facts and science.  It’s particularly painful since we’re home to the NIH and the FDA.

I’m a progressive Democrat, FWIW, and completely disgusted by how far down the list kids are in this whole mess.  It’s like schools exist solely to provide jobs for adults.[/quote]

OP here. This is how it's looking. If teachers are vaccinated and masks work, then why not return them to school? I'd even take half day school at thsi point. Kids and parents are being held hostage based on how people "feel" about returning, not science. Same people who feel uneasy with opening schools are fine with their grocery store workers working full shifts dealing with hundreds of people every day, not just 5-10 masked children who are staying in one place and have parents who would be happy to give them a saliva test every week to get them back in school if need be.

[b]I agree to a point but young kids aren’t that good about staying masked or washing their hands.[/b]  Kids have and will die from covid even though it’s a small percentage.

And then there are the anti-vaxxers...[/quote]

How young? My twins are in first grade and have been in school in person since August. They're better at remembering their masks than my husband and I are (because we don't go anywhere so we don't wear them as often). They will keep them on in the car on the way home from school. The other day one kept hers on after going to the playground and only pulled it down to take a drink of water at the dinner table before pulling it back up. When I saw her do that I told her she could take it off and she said "oh, I'm so used to wearing it now." Give kids some credit. Maybe two-year olds are having a hard time with this, but Elementary kids are doing a great job. Maybe not all of them, but most of them. [/quote]
