[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear those of you saying there is no way we go back in the fall have no concept of how well the county has been doing. Have you even looked at the dashboard at all? Seen how things are literally getting notably better every single day?

And that's with daycares being open. Some being open since the beginning and others recently.

And we still have more than two months. If the trend continues what are you scared of exactly?

Of course a second wave is possible but do you really think it's responsible to keep kids out of school for something that MIGHT happen?

Could you imagine if we did DL until January just as a means of caution and the state never spikes at all? I'm sure you would all still say "it never happened because we weren't in school" but there is no way to know that. Yet the lasting negative effects on our children are absolutely going to happen if they stay out.[/quote]

I'm not saying what I want to happen - I'm saying what I "think" will happen.  I seriously doubt our schools are going to open in any meaningful way this fall.  I hope I'm wrong.[/quote]

I hope so too. We simply can't keep kids out of school potentially for *years*.

If it's not safe, we certainly can. It's better to stay alive.[/quote]
