[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Clearly you don’t have health issues or know anyone that does where work is not possible.  And, yes lots of families with a stay home parent as they prioritize family or kids needs. It’s all about life choices.  Working is a privilege if you have severe health issues.   [/quote]

Then those kids really shouldn't be staying home. They're not going to be adequately supervised by someone in such shape, and would likely be pulled away from virtual class for caretaking.[/quote]
