[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no plot to sabotage in-person learning by infecting everyone with covid. Are you Tucker Carlson? Because you sound like him, sad crazy provocateur person.

What there is, is some epic failure and miscommunication on so many levels and everywhere. [/quote]

No other district in the country is sending kids home this way. Not in a conservative-located district, nor a liberal-located district. MoCo/MCPS is not smarter than everybody else. In fact, all we've seen is the opposite from the very beginning. Classrooms/kids will be inappropriately held hostage waiting for a single person to get tested (or not).  This is terrible, operationally-asinine policy. Yes, they are actively sabotaging in-person. [/quote]

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s sabotage. The opposite is true. If moco wanted to sabotage return there would be no mask wearing or testing for symptoms for a quick return to virtual. You read about other states right?[/quote]

The county health department never wanted MCPS to open last year, they probably didn’t this year either.  As evidenced by his leaked emails, Dr. Gayles seems oddly bitter toward families who prioritize their kids education.  They’re not going to sabotage school by not requiring masks, come on.  More than one way to achieve the goal and this is a uniquely MoCo way to do it- quarantine kids unnecessarily and use it as “evidence” that in person is not sustainable.   [/quote]

In a way it is interesting that people are angry they have to miss one day or two to test a child than for en entire school system to close down. One might think the preference is to test and go to school this year. Don’t send a kid in sick seems common sense [/quote]

No one is saying send a sick kid to school.  Just don’t hold the non-sick kids hostage while waiting for test results for the sick kid.  If this is such a great policy than why is MCPS the only district implementing it?  There’s no evidence that this will meaningfully cut down on transmission but it’s almost guaranteed to result in continued disruption and lost instruction time.  [/quote]

You should present your solution to the BOE. No matter what is done there will be disruption this year but you already knew that[/quote]

There doesn’t need to be some new solution! This is precisely their problem- needing to reinvent the wheel for everything.  they should just follow the CDC, why make this more difficult than it has to be.[/quote]

You could follow the plan and stop griping?[/quote]

Why are you telling her to stop griping? She is right! This thread is 60 pages long because there are many people who think this new guidance was short-sighted and that parents with better ideas could/should suggest them so that our not-sick kids aren’t unnecessarily quarantined repeatedly for half the school year. [/quote]

Read all the Covid letters for the not so sick kids LOL [/quote]
