[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm calling it. This policy is BS. Dr. Gayles spent the past year insisting in person schooling is unsafe, now he is digging and going against the CDC and the AAP who recommend policies that actually let kids go to school. And the BOE and the Council will go for it because they have spent the past year trusting this man, who may have done some smart things but really. Kids need to be in school. We'd have more options now if he had made some real effort bring kids back last year before the last second [/quote]

The CDC also recommends many safety precautions including regular testing which isn't being done.  There are zero efforts beyond masking to keep our kids safe.[/quote]

That is not an excuse for creating a policy that discourages kids from going to the nurse when they need care and encourages kids that want to cause trouble to say they have a "headache". This is the creation of a madman who is right to resign his position. He needs a break.[/quote]

No one is discouraging kids.  If you as a parent discourage your kid from receiving care that’s on you (and makes you a pos).[/quote]

Kids are not dumb. They know they are sending their entire class home for having a headache. Many are not going to want to be that kid. It's not like it will be a secret. Since we are namecalling, you're a POS if you think kids just do what their parents tell them and aren't influenced by social norms.[/quote]

We are talking about elementary students here. That is not how they operate. No one is going to be too scared to go to the nurse and on the flip side, no one is going to make up symptoms to get their classmates out of class. The MCPS parents are a hysterical bunch. Have you even met your own kids? They are actually very chill in comparison. [/quote]

Sounds like you have not met your own kids, JFC. Do you even have kids?[/quote]
