[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who's sending their kids into a yellow zone? Show of hands..[/quote]

I'm not even sending my kid into her "green" school because it's clear there's a reporting problem.

Our school is one of only 10 schools in MCPS (the least-positive 5%) that is reporting a <1.5% rate.

There is absolutely no way we have less COVID than all of the surrounding schools, which are reporting about double our rate. Actually, there's one way, but it's unlikelier than:

-Fluke
-Temporary "good luck"
-Especially terrible communication/reporting

The last bit is related to the one weird (but unlikely) reason we could actually have a rate that reflects half of the rate of neighboring schools.

That is that our school may have the highest proportion (1/3) of immigrants from a specific country, and thus:

-There's probably a lot of information being missed by or miscommunicated to them

and/or, much less likely IMO

-It's possible they've been far more cautious than average or a lot had COVID in early December or something

Even if so, that shouldn't explain the huge disparity.

I need to reach out to folks in the school that I know from that country to find out if any of this is the case.

But then again, it may have nothing to do with our specific demographics.[/quote]
