[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t know MCPS was working on a solution.  This looks really positive for families who were previously enrolled in MVA and cannot attend school due to medical needs.  I especially like that parent supervision is required for children under 12 and recommended for over 12.[/quote]

Most MVA kids didn't have medical needs. That's why the MVAers don't like the plan.[/quote]

Some MVA kids have families who have medical needs. This program does not treat those kids as part of their families--if the child themselves does not have "long term medical impacts," too bad. Remarkably short-sighted. But: it's MCPS.  [/quote]

Look, I live with someone undergoing chemo right now and a cold could kill him.  [b]I get it.[/b] But keeping my kids home from school for the length of chemo treatment is not a reasonable solution and has never been suggested by a single medical professional.  [/quote]

What is the "it" that you think you get, if it isn't the fact that you are not the same as everyone?[/quote]

Sorry, it's just hard to imagine someone selfish enough to keep their kids isolated because they're not willing to take care of themselves.[/quote]

Why do you assume the kids are isolated?   [/quote]

If they're not, why can't they go to school? Besides being inconvenient for your family schedule, that is.[/quote]

Why do you think?   You don’t realize how fortunate you are.  Not all of us are and have the same privilege as you. [/quote]

Right, some are very much more privileged, like the people that can afford to stay home with their kids all day without needing to go to work.[/quote]
